Ride!
As a skier, I came to realize very early on that you can never expect too much from the hill or the weather. You must make do with what is handed to you. This year, being an El nino season, has very much been that for all of us riders. Instead of complaining about ice hurting, rain melting our jumps into jumps for ants and causing our rails to slide down the slopes, we should just be stoked that we even have this amazing sport and it will become that much better when the temperature drops and the goods start fallin!!
Here’s some shots of Saturday! Keep hyped!

Keep it Real, Grouse!

Happy New Year!!
So finally 2010 is here to stay, snow is on the slopes, skis and boards on our feet…or at least thats where they should be…and if that’s the case, then there should also be smiles on our faces!
I thought to kick off the 2010 season, I’d share one of my personal favourite 08/09 season edits, thus ending last season with good vibes and starting this one with the same vibes and limitless possiblities for the upcoming year.
Gus Kentworthy broke his collar bone during one of the Dew tour stops recently.. here is the self edit result of his boredom.
Keep it real Grouse!

Scott Afterbang Contest
Afterbang: After landing a sick skiing trick you ride away all steezy and relaxed. Some people thinks this makes them look extra talented. – UrbanDictionary.com
From freeskier.com:
Scott USA respects that when you stomp a trick, you chuck in your favorite afterbang. Whether or not you know it, we make sick gloves.
In recognition of claimers worldwide, we want you to see your best afterbangs. And we’d be even more stoked to see you throw your hands in the air in proper claiming fashion (cause you definitely will once you are rocking some SCOTT gloves in victory).
Whoever has the best afterbang (some high hands so we can see your gloves will definitely help your chances) will win some SCOTT goods. Submit your best afterbang edit to freeskier.com and the top ten will win SCOTT gear.
Winners will be chosen by Scott athletes; Dane Tudor, Ian Cosco, Nick Martini, Henrik Lampert, Michelle Parker, Keri Herman, Alex Schlopy etc.
So it’s all about the ride away. It’s that simple. Stomp and ride away with style and you could score yourself some wicked Scott swag, including a pair of 173 P3 skis. Dope!
Head over to freeskier.com to find out how to enter.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years and don’t quite know how to ‘bang, or you need a little inspiration, check this video of one of the best afterbangers in the game, Jon Brogan:
Note the ride away…bangin.
