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. Ten percent of the overall field is invited to crown the finals’ winners and overall champions. After a hard-fought season earning points to get invited, the CBMST sent 11 athletes up to champs, […]
If you haven’t yet seen the videos of West Elk Project co-founder Ed Dujardin teeing up some awesome lines this season on the @shredwardstomps Instagram, you should check out his mid-season POV edit. It features a hot soundtrack from A Shadow of Jaguar and a bunch of lines from the Crested Butte backcountry, CBMR, and […]
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 […]
Mikey Curran has been putting together some awesome local content, not to mention his job for MSP Films, for more than the last few years. He got after it with local all-around great guy, Ryan Sullivan, to make this cool, woodsy-feel edit of mountain biking in CB. Check it out! FALL FLOW from Mikey Curran on Vimeo.
The IFSA National Series rolled into town this weekend at Crested Butte Mountain Resort and the talent just keeps getting stronger and stronger. After a strong showing at the regional a month ago in February, the CBMST was ready to take on all challengers on the Hawk’s Nest and Sock-It-To-Me venues. The competition tends to step […]
Packy Westfeldt and TJ David over in Aspen get after it. This little POV from last week out in the Elks on Conundrum should give you just a little taste of what it takes to get up on top of a 14er and ski a sick couloir on the way down. Nice work, dudes! Skiing […]
Martin Lentz was going for it last week in the Freeride World Tour at Fieberbrunn. He had to send it if he wanted to qualify for the Alaska stop, and send it he did. He actually dislocated his shoulder on the first big hit, relocated it, spun a 3, and then went a little too […]
Daniel McFadden is one of those seriously-skilled FWQ athletes roaming around the west shredding everything he can (he took 5th on Big Hourglass in 2014). But when he’s home in Summit County you have to shred everything you can there too. Check out some of this Faction and Giro athlete’s snowmobiling and hardpack skiing antics […]
Ski In / Ski Out seems like a luxury for some. Take it to the next level and make any place ski in / ski out with those super neat hoverboards!
One of the best shows in freeride went down on Monday, the Freeride World Tour at Haines. After mediocre snow conditions and sketchy stuff at some of the previous events, the FWT Haines event went off quite nicely with Ryland Bell taking the snowboard men’s, Logan Pehota the Ski Men, Anne-Flore Marxer the Snowboard Women, […]
The FWQ 4-star event Crystal went down last week with Crested Butte’s own Mark Mikos and Ashley Bembenek winning the Men Ski and Women Ski titles! Rob Vandervoort was there laying it down on his snowboard and was able to take 7th. Our own Ed Dujardin went down hard with a broken femur but is […]
The CBMST Freeride athletes have been busy this March. With a strong showing on the home turf a few weeks ago at the Crested Butte National, the CBMST traveled to Breckenridge and Vail on consecutive weekends. Kye Matlock, who spent most of the winter in Japan and had an underwhelming finish at the CB National, got some […]
CBAC forecaster Evan Ross investigates the recent slide on Schuykill than ran 1000 feet and resulted in a partial burial. Stupid dust. According to the CBAC Facebook, there was another large skier triggered avalanche from the persistent layer in the Climax Chutes. Careful out there.
Terrifying POV footage from a recent avalanche in East Vail. Lots of activity happening around Colorado. Find a write up below the video from avy victim Austin Porzak, who is apparently a very experienced backcountry traveller. Quoted from Austin’s YouTube video: “First of all in no way shape or form do I think being in a […]
