What do you do at the end of January, when it hasn't snowed in weeks and temperatures are brushing 50-degrees? You go on an adventure, dammit!

With expectations of heinous traffic and hours of border lineups, we still went to Whistler to watch the women's downhill. Instead it was smooth sailing, sunshine, fast ladies, and fresh turns in seven inches of new.

Just two weekends ago at Big Sky, friends and supporters of the Billy Poole Memorial Fund got together to remember Billy Poole and teach Montana youth about skiing and enjoying the outdoors.

People will stand at the top of Chair Eight at Mt. Baker to watch this guy ski lines off the Shuksan Arm. Arriving from Gold Hill, Colorado, Zack Giffin and his brothers showed up in Washington seven years ago, not to become local celebrities, but to ski a place that gets more snow than anywhere in North America. After working in the park and patrolling, Zack now spends most of his time shooting with local photographer, Grant Gunderson, or skiing the resort’s extensive sidecountry. We caught up with him in between trips to Mt. Shasta and Nelson, after a day of schralping the holy ground.     

Born and raised in Norway, Karine Falk-Pederson spent her college years racing for the Denver Ski Team. Last season she initiated her big-mountain competition career, placing fifth place overall by the end of the season. Filming with Warren Miller and competing keeps her traveling all winter, only spending a few weeks back in Norway each season. Luckily, she just started using a helmet cam, so everyone at home can live vicariously through her videos. Read on to hear about where she has been, where she wants to go, and what she always takes with her when traveling.  

Seriously, why is it that when I find out about events that are happening in Canada I look at my life and feel like such a stiff? Kicking Horse’s Wrangle the Chute event, which just took place February 6 and 7, 2010, provides all the proof I need for my theory; Canadians just know how to get it done. Breathing some life into an otherwise serious competition scene, Wrangle the Chute exhibited riders’ talents from straightlines to switch skiing the entire venue, plus a mechanichal bull competition. Check out the press release, results, and photos here.
