The Freaks Strike Again

There is one thing about the Freaks that you can always count on: whatever or wherever they’re skiing, they’ll go big and make it look damn good in the process. Victor Major and Baker Boyd keep the reputation alive during a day in the Colorado backcountry with filmer Ben Moscona. Seulement 2, les problèmes respiratoires ont un […]

Jeremy Pancras: Annecy Bound

Jib-master Jeremy “Pan” Pancras is at it again, wasting no time to throw down in the streets of his home town of Annecy, France. From rails to backflip tree bonks, this dude knows how to do urban.

Skier Fundraising Has A New Bar

To survey a scene of roasting goats, pigs, whisky, bonfires, bands, and over 1000 athletes getting together to celebrate life and raise money for a fellow skier, one thing is for sure: no one will ever say skiers don’t know how to throw a party.

Kate Wilson’s “Transitions”

Springtime transitions look a little different for everyone. For Kate and Garrett Wilson, Calgary-based skiers and anglers, spring means both time on the water, and on snow. Multi-sporting at its finest.  Shoulder season in Alberta hits a sweet spot. It’s cold enough up high to ski and warm enough down low to fish. In “Transitions […]

Haines Spines with Parkin Costain

There are spines. And then there are Haines, AK spines.  Parkin Costain’s compilation of spine shredding from last season puts it all into perspective. Last spring, Costain spent a few weeks up north filming at SEABA Heli with Teton Gravity Research. The trip culminated in a first descent of a line Costain had been looking […]

“Painting the Mountains” with Aurel Lardy, Vivian Bruchez and Jules Socié

There’s steep skiing. And then there’s big wall skiing. Photojournalist Matthew Tufts was drawn to El Chaltén many years ago, a small village at the foot of the Fitz Roy massif in Argentine Patagonia. The steep, iconic granite walls have held a prominent place in the climbing community for decades, but it wasn’t until the […]

Thea Rhøme and Lisen Strøm’s “Odyssey of Loppa”

When Thea Kopala Rhøme and Lisen Strøm set off for a four-day traverse of Loppa, an Arctic peninsula in northern Norway, they knew they would be entirely alone.  The northernmost county in Finnmark, Loppa is only accessible by boat, with a population of less than 900 people. With massive glaciers, deep fjords and steep couloirs […]

Hadley Hammer’s “Fortune”

Fortune has many definitions. To Hadley Hammer, it’s not monetary, but measured by moments and friendships and windows into new cultures—everything that professional skiing has given her these past 13 years.  Hammer just announced her retirement from professional skiing, using her skis instead to focus on a career in storytelling. Skiing has taken Hammer all […]

Adrien Grabinski Is “The Best Skier You’ve Never Heard Of”

Adrien Grabinski is not in it for the clicks. The 25-year-old ski patrol director at Shames Mountain in Terrace, BC is about as dedicated to the sport as anyone could be—whether he’s plowing the Shames parking lot at 6 a.m. or skiing big lines at top speeds.  His love for the small, community-run ski hill […]

“NISEI” by Sierra Schlag

“The sound of small giggles and awkward fidgeting echoed around the room of my grandmother’s nursing home. Silence had never felt so loud as my obaachan (Japanese for grandma) and I sat down for lunch with the other octa- and nonagenarians in Kobe, Japan. I had just taken a series of bullet trains from Nagano […]

“Circle of Madness” with Markus Eder and Victor de Le Rue

A palpable buzz of excitement spread through the room as we crammed into a full house at the Royal in Nelson, BC.   “Circle of Madness,” Markus Eder and Victor de Le Rue’s 2024 film chronicling their spring in Haines, AK, had been available to stream online since November. But two months later, the excitement to […]

“Mountain Joy” with Nat Segal

For most of Nat Segal’s life, her definition of professional skiing was always pushing harder, further, faster. From competing in moguls in her home country of Australia to living in Chamonix, France and Verbier, Switzerland to pursue freeride skiing, pushing her own limits has always been at the forefront of Segal’s relationship with the sport.  […]

Erin Spong’s “Consonance”

Skiing is filled with contrast—fast and powerful turns, slow, thoughtful movements. In “Consonance,” Erin Spong seeks a balance.  “Harmony or agreement among components,” is the official definition of “consonance,” which the Pocatello, ID-based skier explores in this five-minute film. Blending two worlds, Spong dances between deep pow turns and slow breathwork, embracing the contrast of […]
