On Friday, freeskier John Nicoletta was killed after a fall at the Freeskiing World Championships in Alyeska, AK. After dropping a 20-footer, he lost control, and went tumbling over an exposed, rocky area. Nicoletta had been living in Aspen for the last few seasons, and doing really well on the big mountain tour. He was an amazingly vibrant person and skier. Below is a link to a clip put together…

I remember the first time I saw Dana Flahr in a TGR flick. It was at the TGR World Premiere three years ago. Needless to say, my friends and I were blown away. And, he's killing it even harder now. Check out this video of Dana in Haines, AK from a TGR trip. I absolutely love watching helmet cam footy since it gives you the perspective of the skier. And, it's good to see more and more footy of ski…

The slide happened when Jesse and father John were sledding. Jesse had apparently gotten off his sled to check snow conditions when the slide hit. According to officials, the snow pa…

On Tuesday, Simon Dumont is set to try to break Terje's world record quarterpipe hit. It's so "crazy" that the New York Times ran a story about what Simon is out to do. I'm sure he'll get it. The pictures I've seen of the quarterpipe look gigantic. And, it seems like he is on his A-game right now coming off the high from Sweden. April 8, 2008 Injury and Danger No Match for Record-Seek…

A last hurrah of winter?  

A last hurrah of winter?

March 31, 2008

By: Julie

With the weather Summit County has seen in the last month or so, I assumed we were done with winter, and that I could hang up my fat skis and just enjoy warm, sunny park days. And, with all the storms that have been forecasted for the area that were said to deliver a good amount of snow, I figured this one would be a disspointment like the rest. But, I did not give up. I set the alarm for 6:…

Tanner talks X and Pow

March 15, 2008

By: Julie

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Sun Valley bored out of my flippin' mind. It's snowing just enough to make shooting worthless, but not nearly enough for me to actually enjoy a pow day. 48 Straight pipe practice kicks off at noon, with the finals going on tomorrow. It's snowing everywhere else, though. Alta gets 16 new. Jackson gets 18 yesterday and 8 today. What the fuck? Even Summit County is ge…
