Check out this shredit of Ed Dujardin getting after during the 2019 spring in the CB backcountry. When the goods are good you should probably keep skiing them, right?! And the CAST system rules. PS. Check his 2019 mini golf edit here. Ed Dujardin Spring 2019 from West Elk Project on Vimeo.
The competitive junior freeride season wrapped up in Kicking Horse, British Columbia last week at the IFSA North American Junior Freeride Championships.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort played host to an IFSA junior regional freeride competition on Saturday under a mix of cloudy skies and flat light. The classic Colorado chalky hard pack snow that we all know and love so well here in the Elk Mountains was ripping and skiers ranging from 12-18 showcased their skills on […]

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 […]
SIA in Denver is always interesting. This product from The North Face could be a game changer.
We know the snow is low. A few light refreshers here and there have kept the resort skiing well. We just really need a storm! CBMST seniors Oz Scott and Peter Hunt are making the most of conditions at CBMR and finding as many trannies possible and literally making your dizzy with 360s. Excuse the […]
You might have heard Bode Milller suffered a pretty good crash at the FIS World Cup Super G at Beaver Creek on Thursday. He underwent surgery to fix a torn hamstring tendon within hours of the crash. He was having the fastest run of the day at the time and hooked his arm on a […]
Craig Geipel sent us this sweet little edit from recent skiing in the Crested Butte backcountry around Irwin with buddies Ashley Davis and Scott Braun. This high pressure and warm temperature has definitely been annoying and very frustrating when you look at the larger trend, but little reminders of fun skiing makes it tolerable. #actonclimate

Well, this video is awesome. Locals took flight off the peak of Mt. Crested Butte through the Terminal Triangle on the south face of Mt. Crested Butte. There are a couple of barrel rolls as they head back around towards the west facing Terminator Chutes. Enjoy this 1 minute clip! Upon further review, some people are […]
Check out this huge slide triggered by a high marking snowmobiler up in Afton, Wyoming. Good thing he was able to stay on top and his friends were able to get to him quickly. That was lucky!
