Although its summer here in Tahoe some people are still making it happen. Our Australian/New Zealand Distributor checks in with some cool shots.

Here are a couple of shots of Austin Toner at Falls Creek, VIC, taken by Mark Tsukasov. Not bad for a 22″ base when the shots were taken.

Alaska: Big Lines, Big Checks, and a Big Van

moment — Fri, 21 May 2010 19:02:00 +0000

I ventured to Alaska in March with 20-year-old Jake Sakson in his vegie oil powered van. We competed in the Alyeska World Comp, filmed with Powderwhore Productions on Thompson Pass, and spend a lot of time working on the 1988 retired ambulance van. Here are some photos from our trip.

SHRED ALERT! AK 360!

Powderwhore, Jonah Howell, catches the action. Check out their website, http://www.powderwhore.com, for info on their movie and tour.

Big lines in the Valley of the Tusk. Look for me in the bottom right of the photo.

Melt in the mountains not in your hand.

Jake and I stopped at Chilkat Pass on our way to catch the ferry in Haines. It was hard to tell how big the peaks were because there were no trees for reference. After skiing two lines off this beast we found out that it had over 3,000 feet of vertical relief.

Drying gear in the spring sunshine on Chilkat Pass.

After the ups and downs of hunting big lines for five weeks, Jake and I and spent a week in Anchorage trying to collect and clean 100+ gallons of waste vegetable oil to begin the drive back home. We weren’t able to clean the oil to our standards so we opted for the casual ride, the Alaska Ferry from Haines to Bellingham.

Big thanks to Brooke Edwards for organizing Telepalooza and putting us up, to Dylan Freed and Valdez Heli Guides for getting us on big lines at hippy price, to Megan Michelson for the photos, and to my sponsors: Flylow, Scarpa, 22-Designs, and Moment Skis for keeping clothes on my back, and skis on my feet.

Cheers

Bibby in Switzerland

moment — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:38:29 +0000

Hey Readers,

Hope everyone is having a good winter so far. I just figured I would let you know how mine is going at the moment… Currently I am in Switzerland with level 1, the crew includes Tanner Rainville, Wiley Miller, Jeff Cricco, Josh Berman and myself.

To be more specific we are staying in Switzerland but end up skiing in France and Switzerland each day since you can cross that border while skiing in the mountains here. So far we have just been skiing around looking at zones and snow quality. We have got a pretty big list of thing’s to do and right now it is snowing out so it looks like were going to have good snow when we take care of our list.

The mountains are really amazing here and well as how many skiers there are. One thing I noticed right away was how many people just seemed excited to ski in general. Many people have gear here that is well over 7 years old but are just as stoked to ski as anyone. It is kind of refreshing to see, there is no attitude around here that I have encountered. Other than maybe not knowing how to speak french, that would help me quite a bit. I plan to take care of that this summer. Another thing that is different with on hill manners is the line-ups. There are no guide line ropes around to stop people from snaking each other. It was a holiday week this past week so it was a free for all in the lift lines. You can try to snake as hard as you can, no one will say anything, because they are doing the same. It all seems to work out though.

We are here for about another week and a half then it is back to BC for me. Happy shredding everyone!
