You knew it was going to happen, but maybe not this soon. It appears that Matchstick Productions is making a movie on living legend Eric Hjorleifson. Though there has been no real formal announcement, MSP and its best pillow smashers have been using the hashtag #thehojimovie and digging out old clips from past movies like […]
Western State Colorado University sophomore Grifen Moller earned himself an 8th place at the Freeride World Tour Hakuba stop, staged at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden BC.

Guerlain Chicherit was practicing for a 110-meter World Record jump in his special Monster Energy Mini in Tignes, France this morning when things went wrong.

Chris Miller’s last big mountain DH edit has us pretty stoked, so this one has us even more so, or shall we say “stokeder?” Way to shred some creative big mountain lines, Chris!
This is a pretty crazy video from up in Alaska that shows the size and scope of a massive avalanche that occurred yesterday in Keystone Canyon on the road to Valdez from Anchorage up in Alaska. The avalanche created an ice dam and the resulting lake is already 60 feet deep and growing. It’s a […]
Have you ever driven through Twin Falls? If so, you’ve probably seen the Perrine Bridge. A lot of people use it to base jump. Mike Wilson, in his typical fashion, made a giant rope swing. He’s a boss.
This morning we woke up to some pretty incredible news that Julien Lopez had triggered an avalanche during his run at the second attempt at the Freeride World Tour stop in Fieberbrunn (the women skiers skied earlier in the week, check out Francesca Pavillard-Cain’s 4th place run here). The previous venue had been scrapped due […]
Tom Wallisch receives more publicity than any other skier out there. He’s the only freeski athlete featured multiple times in one commercial break for different products on major networks. His new nine minute short film, the Wallisch Project, is available on Itunes for $2.99. Is he worth it? Totally. We at the West Elk Project […]
When they stop happening we’ll stop sharing them. Blake Wilson posted an edit earlier this season that had the internet buzzing and this one is even better. Blake puts all kind of style into is riding around Alta, including some ridiculous “screamin’-seamen” grabs on a switch cork 5 and a corked 3. This edit rules!! Thank […]
