Winter Wonderland

Just pictures of why snow and ski trips are fun.

Photo of The Day

Update on the story from Smoking Gun, JANUARY 6–In a bizarre incident that will surely lead to litigation (or an out-of-court settlement), a skier at Colorado’s ritzy Vail resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Thursday morning. The January 1 mishap apparently occurred after the male skier, 48, and [...]

Welcome Back and Some Out of Hand Louis CK

I hope everyone had a stellar Christmas and auspicious-feeling New Year. I did some skiing in Montana—totally sick shred fest; had the sketchiest ski run of my life thanks to being at about 11,000ft in 70 mph winds and heavy snow; yeah, Lone Peak Tram at Big Sky. I also checked out Bozeman, Montana and [...]

The Strange “It Could Happen to Me” Truth About Avalanches

I was super fortunate, and stoked, to use the parlance of the sport, to have gotten to ski in Utah this past weekend with some good friends. The mountains of Utah have a different feel from the mountains of, say, a place like Vail or Breckenridge. Not because the mountains of Colorado are any less [...]

Fun Flash Game, If You Like Skiing

I was hipped to this little game by the strange ski blog/snarky ski culture commentary channel run by John Symms over at EXPN.COM.
Give Gnarshmallow (no fucking idea what that’s in reference to) a try, one of the best functions is the ability to zoom out and see all the freshies you lapped. Ya, dude.

Enough About Sarah Ponce

This is an open letter to the apes who continue to comment on the poorly written, year-old post I put up about the model-kickboxer, Sarah Ponce.
You turds do realize that this blog is read on average by 25 people each day? If you’re that desperate for PR, why don’t you have her pose nude? That’s [...]

John Daly: Hero? Drunk? Both.

Pro golfer John Daly’s long-standing battle with the bottle isn’t showing any sign of resolving itself. Recently, his night ended with a police escort out of a NC Hooters after he had passed out at the bar.
Regardless, you’ve got to admire the guy; he, a man who treats his body more like a urinal than [...]

Snow

Since I don’t have time to post at the momment, I’ll play weatherman. The first flakes of snow are falling and that means ski season is nye. Here’s a clip from Teton Gravity Research’s new film Under The Influence.

Canadian Grand Prix RIP

Not that many of you readers likely care, but Canada was just stripped of hosting the long-running, glorious Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. My brother, a long-time Formula 1 fan, and the face and future of the sport in America, has taken the elimination of the race personally. Here’s what he had to say about [...]

Tanner Hall: Freeskier With Gymnastics-Like Skills

The past week has left me unmotivated to write here; mostly because I’m mired in the negative financial news cycle that’s prevailing. Anyhow, I’m going to stop watching the Downer Dow and start reading things that actually make me feel good.
Check out reggae wonder white boy free skier Tanner Hall at the equivalent of skiing [...]
