SKIING/SNOWBOARDING

The massive mega-resorts offer a lot of conveniences when it comes to your ski vacation, but charm and character aren’t among them. When you’re looking for an experience that makes you feel more connected to your destination, then resorts that rank high in Local Flavor, otherwise known as that certain “something-something,” are a great place

We skiers don’t ask for a lot from resorts when it comes to guest service. Considering the price of lift tickets (or season passes) and the amount of planning and schlepping it takes to get to the resort in the first place, we just want to be greeted by friendly faces in parking lots, lift

The full-length flick travels the globe once again, snorkeling through neck-deep fluff in B.C.’s Monashee Mountains with adaptive backcountry riders Pete McAfee and Dominic Davila, chasing powder of mythic proportions in Greece’s Olympus Mountains with John Falkiner (a WME alum from the ’70s and ’80s), and grass skiing down the summery slopes of Wengen, Switzerland

In 2018, champion halfpipe rider Zoe Kalapos got kicked off the U.S. National Snowboarding Team. She’d been working hard, but she’d had a string of poor performances. And the hard truth is that female snowboarders usually get scrutinized way harder than men, she says, even today. Partway through the season, the team manager broke the

Leave it to Morgan Maassen to make such a relaxing surf-like edit from somewhere in the hills of Switzerland for the new shape released by KORUA. Enjoy.  From Korua: The Überegg is a direct descendant of our Obelix shape, and has found its way straight into our Classic Line. We teamed up with a bunch of

From Victor Daviet: For the 5th volume, I invited a bunch of friends such as Marion Haerty, Juan Cachat, Johann Baisamy, Anais Caradeux, Robin Janvier & more for a good old time!

A binding serves two necessities. First, it needs to literally keep you on board. Second, it needs to provide toe-to-heel support, so as you lean from

I don’t actually remember when I first met Kimmy. Last summer, a mutual friend asked us and neither of us could pinpoint the occasion. But this is because since I first met Kimmy, she has been a resolute and unwavering part of my life. It’s hard to think about a time when she wasn’t someone

When it comes snowboards, Ståle Sandbech has an innate understanding of the precise balance of high performance and maxed-out fun–and his new 2023 line up of boards with longtime-sponsor Rome is designed with that in mind. The Ståle Collection is made up of three snowboards, the Stale Fish, the Stale Crewzer, and the Stale Mod,
