Chasing Powder to Alta

Posted  December 28, 2012  by  Edward Dujardin 2.0

It feels weird driving away from Crested Butte in the midst of a three foot storm.  But the Wasatch was set to receive 40 inches on top of a strong base.  So I left the Butte, and after meeting TJ David in Grand Junction, drove through the night and arrived at Alta Ski Area at […]

Dave Sugnet “Uninvited” from US Collegiate Team at 2013 Trentino University Games

Posted  October 25, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin

If this headline doesn’t grind your gears, it should.  We reported back in early September that WSCU student-athlete Dave Sugnet had been selected to the US Collegiate Freeskiing Team (USCFST). Now, we received word the USCFST recently contacted Dave to tell him that he was, in fact, not on the team.  This goes completely against […]

Posted  January 11, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin

Romp Skis Edit: Dave Bunt and Spellbound Opening

Posted  March 5, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin

Romp Skis athlete Dave Bunt took serious advantage of the recent 16″ that fell at Crested Butte Mountain Resort by yesterday afternoon.  With the first serious lift lines of the year, the local population was chomping at the bit.  While the early bird got the worm yesterday, the patience paid of for some as Spellbound […]

High Lift Opens – CBMR Video

Posted  February 8, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin

The long-awaited High Lift opening happened today.  Teocalli Bowl, Headwall, Big Chute, and Paradise cliffs were open with some well-merited closures in between (Angle Gully, Coffee Grounds).  CBMR videographer Chris Segal put up a quick edit featuring mountain athletes Wendy Fisher, Aaron Blunck, Mary Boddington, Rob Dickinson, and Tom Runcie shredding the recent terrain openings.

Big Air On Elk 2013 Photo Gallery and Live Stream

Posted  March 13, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin

Wolf Creek Powder Shred Photo Gallery

Posted  January 31, 2013  by  2. Will Dujardin
