Pic of the Day (Pull Up Your F'ing Pants)

In the first installment - in what will surely not be a daily occurrence - for Pic of the Day is this offering by one Mister Dong Stul. These characters were spotted getting on the lift at Mount Snow.


Clearly, the bums have not lost. Skiiers: Pull up your pants, you're starting to look like NJ park rats. Dong couldn't be righter with this caption: "Umm...yeah, if you know this guy...hit him for me. Then pull his pants up."

None More Blacker - Featuring Tim (Teaser 3)

As insidious hordes of indentured servants slave over film and meticulously splice together the snow epic "None More Blacker," another teaser has been released. In this clip, watch as Tim kills the slopes with his laid back style and skitheeast skill. Equipped with a cigarette in one hand, a red bull in the other, and a bottle of Jack in the other, this man knows how to ski.

None More Blacker - Featuring Pukey (Teaser 2)

As None More Blacker looms on the horizon like a harbinger of death itself, another teaser has been released. This one features the rookie young blood of the group. Defined by sketchy style, questionable balance, and a love for rumplemintze and creamy beige, Pukey has been struggling to earn the team scarf. Will she succeed in her quest? Tune into None More Blacker to find out.

None More Blacker (A Teaser to Tantalize)

With the 09-08 season drawing down, and the majority of photography completed, that means only one thing: None More Blacker approaches.

Fresh out of the editing booth comes this Teaser from the darkest pits of despair. Be warned, once you look into the void, you might see the void looking back. Could it get any more blacker? No. The answer is of course, None More Blacker.

The Traveling Circus (Stuff to Watch)

Even though I'm no skiier, this stuff is awesome. Brought to us by Line skis and some of the meathead boys (Will Wesson and Andy Parry), the Traveling Circus is super low budget ski/travel/jib awesomeness. They MacGyver rails like no other and are dirt poor. Episode 5 just came out and you can catch the line here. This newest episode is pretty hilarious because they kill themselves well when they finally get into powder.

Spring Time Sucks (Little More Season Left)

Well as we are now in the middle of March and the big trips (Jackson, Utah) are in the history books, we can now look forward to mushy skiing and clearance sales.

While the NY component of the Moguls is headed up to G305 on Friday, I will likely be attending last weekend festivities at Liberty - coming back as a returning hero after my big win.

Quick recap. Jackson Hole was amazing. It's only a few days since we've been back, but most of us are now reshaved (minus my chin steeze) and back to the grind (the bums lost Dong).

Jackson was a big gnarly mountain. The only thing I didn't like about it was I had to leave. As conditions kept improving while we were there, it was as if the mountain kept getting bigger, more interesting, and more challenging. So many spots on that hill could be turned into full day sessions. Whether they were cliff drops, tree runs, or steep slopes, endless terrain variety abounded. I'd pay 1200$ any day to have one powder run at the Hole, it is that good. Hell, even the traverses at Jackson are good. First mountain I've ever been on where you can be on a flat traverses on a board yet still be able to cruise to the next trail or across the mountain without ever stopping and having to push.

So let's enjoy Spring skiing, t-shirt riding, and goggle tans. Perhaps a trip to Mount Hood is in order for June, and a trip to Chile to ride South American style during the heat of the Summer.

Corbets Couloir (Someone hold me)

Late in the day on Friday we made a point of hopping a tram and shooting all the way up to scope out the epic Couloir of doom. Alright. It’s big. It’s really big. And wow, steep. Videos, pictures – anything online – don’t do it justice. It is insane. I was getting vertigo just trying to get near the drop-in to scope it out.

We heard from a few other guys that were up there that the couloir – from the storm and recent weird conditions – was gnarly than usual. Instead of just a two-story drop into a 55-degree pitch, it was probably closer to three stories with exposed ice/rock far more prevalent than usual.

Heading up (and for the last few weeks) we all teased the idea of dropping in with differing digress of seriousness. After looking at it though, it was just way too epic. Too late in the day after too many days of riding. Even if the conditions on the couloir were a little better, our shot legs wouldn’t have held that first epic drop and then it would have gotten very death inducing.
