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.
This past weekend came and went in a flash, and if you didn’t notice the scores of junior freeride athletes terrorizing the Hawk’s Nest and Headwall over the weekend then you were missing out. The bar of possibility was once again raised at CBMR as ski clubs from the western US descended on Crested Butte. […]
Slush, sun, and speed in Crested Butte If there is one thing the laid back Crested Butte way of life can provide during a less than mediocre winter season its the ability to make lemonade out of very slushy, warm lemons. Thats exactly what around 20 Buttians set out to do last Saturday at Crested […]
The Snowblade Extremes went down on Crested Butte’s famed Headwall venue Sunday. Last year’s champion Ben Blackwood showed why he is a snowblade master, claiming victory once again. Non Native’s Jimbo Webb took the Sickbird, front flipping at the bottom of the venue. The comp was followed by an afternoon of charging all over the […]
KC Deane is a pretty ridiculous skier. Nabbing his first cover on Freeskier a couple years ago, he does nothing but impress on two planks. He even was ranked the “hottest winter sports athlete” at some point, but turns out his girlfriend was the decider and that just seems biased. POINT BEING, KC crushes on […]

I just got back from a dreamy, dry ride on the Upper Loop this evening. The Upper Loop, Divine Trail (connector to golf course), Tony’s, 435 1a (connector to Upper Upper), and Whetstone Vista are all dry with only a few micro snow plugs. Upper Upper still has too much snow to ride and is […]
A big congratulations to Crested Butte’s own Aaron Blunck for taking second in today’s Olympic Test event in Pyeongchang, South Korea which also doubled as the culminating event in the FIS Halfpipe World Cup Season. Aaron finished behind his Aspen friend, Torin Yater-Wallace, in the event and the two repeated their podium finish as the top […]
Toby Miller of Tahoe is turning heads in the snowboard world. The thirteen year old has incredible style and throws double corks in the pipe. It is amazing to watch. Crested Butte, see what happens when facilities like Woodward exist? Also, that is how you use an airbag. We look forward to seeing more from […]
