  • We've all seen this guy at the park. Just call him "Snake" because that's what he does. Flaunting all rules of park shrediquette and basic human decency (every 6-year old knows it's wrong to take cuts), he cruises in to this small step-up at half-speed totally cutting in on someone who had been waiting to drop, and disasters all over the landing, losing a ski in the process.

  • Earlier this week Eero Ettala released a vintage clip of him shredding it up in 1998. If you ever wanted to know what the pros looked like when they were wee ones, check out this handy-cam footage. It's literally him, holding a camcorder and recording a TV showing the old VHS tape!

  • Whistler BC is one of those places that everyone wants to ride one day. This mountain is bigger than anything I've seen. Whistler and Blackcomb peaks are 4900 and 5100 vertical feet (~1500m), so easily twice the height of most Ice Coast resorts, and much more expansive, too.
