Canadian Freeskiing Open W/ the UBC Freeride Team | Part 4 | Semi Finals
The beginning of Semis saw the Team split. There were those bright souls enjoying quick, painless, fun filled tours up to Red’s slackcountry stash, Grey Mountain, and those competitors who qualified, swallowing down nervous bile belches as the sled towed us up the back of cloud shrouded Mt.

Stowe Conditions update: Sunny Stowe Sunday
While our friends out west are measuring snowfall with yardsticks, the good old 12″ ruler is all we need here at Stowe. 5 – 7″ here, 2 – 3″ there, a massive pile of man-made over there and quietly the hill keeps getting better.

Small Avalanches are Dangerous | Snowmobiler Buried then Dug Out.

Moto Madness | Dirt Biking a Mountain Spine in the Snow
I don’t know a thing about Motocross or riding a dirtbike, but this video seems to me to be absolutely looney! Falling off the side of a mountain that is half covered in snow with a 200+ pound bike following you down would be the start of a very bad day. I bet Robert Hurley […]
