We took a bit of a break and hadn’t been up for nearly a month due to work, holidays, sickness and.. well, the fact there has been absolutely…
Here’s an awesome video found over at kottke: This is like street skating except with alpine skis down hilly city terrain. Includes jumps over hung laundry & parked cars, railslides down stairs, etc. Crazy. Great song choice, too!
Check out this awesome time-lapse of the front face at Copper Mountain shot by Dustin Henderlong. I love watching the chairs suddenly come on and then stop at the end of the day. The work on the half-pipe is fascinating, too. Posted from Frisco, Colorado, United States.

Vail Resorts (Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone) has announced their technology plans for the second iteration of their popular pass-based technology: EpicMix Photo. RFID-enabled passes I remember when resorts were first trying out RFID-enabled passes: the ones with the chips in them that, with special scanners, can be picked up when you get close to…

Shaun White’s private half-pipe was built so he could focus on innovating and building new tricks. I don’t know why I’m so fascinated by this but I am.
