Kids these days are... ...respectful, hardworking and skilled. At least that's what I thought as I yelled go, go, go as we ran out of light on the one day I shot with the Whitewater Jr freeride team. And on cue, they went off...

The best day of the ski season is rapidly approaching, and you better bring it. Yep you guessed it... the one, the only, the original.... Gaper Day Whistler. The phenomenon that was once a small posse of friends keepin' it unreal is now a National Holiday (in America apparently) celebrated by hundreds of awesome Whistler skiers, snowboarders and monoskiers. Rain or shine, wind, sleet or snow, it's on like Donkey Kong.
Things To Know
Date: Monday, May 27th. Last day of Whistler...

Across Canada from Thunder Bay, ON to Whistler, BC, the sleepy pretzels, easy conversation and incomparably grabbed grabs of the young Dane Degruyter and I have, for no less than three years, been attempting to create the text that follows. Scrupulously, we hurdled over our own ants and anxiousness to release the piece that had for one reason or another stunted itself. Until now.
Coming into this season 'head to toe, geared up!' Degruyter has formed a 'base-line of sponsors...

"Summer" seems to be here, so we're back with our weekly "Wide Eyed Wednesday's" column, bringing you the best ski related news and eye-candy for you to feast on.
Bushy Splashin'
First up, local Squamish based shred-star Rory Bushfield has graced the pages of sites like "The Hollywood Gossip" for winning the Splash reality TV series! We'd show you the video, but hey it seems to be unavailable in Canada (must have been an X-Rated dive). So...

A lot of companies are coming out with touring boots that are supposed to ski like the real thing these days. You hear from a lot of people that they just don't quite do what they are supposed to. A decent walk mode but not the rigidity of a true freeride boot. This comes down to crappy riveting hardware and a cuff that doesn't actually lock down. Yes, I know. The Dynafit Vulcan is amazing, using the TLT5 buckle lock out system. I don't have $1000 to spend.
Since I...

Disclaimer: if you want to know who won and lost in the contests themselves, this is not the article for you. This may not be the ESPN version of the WSSF, but it's not the same story as anyone else and the depiction is accurate.

I opened my eyes and sighed with relief. I was staring at the automatic, cool breeze of the walk-in refrigerator's fan at Citta's Bistro in the village square, only a few dangerous inches from the blades. The stubborn tears I was treating came...

As North Americans we’re used to a certain aesthetic in mountain photography. Moreover, we’re used to certain conventions when it comes to action shots and the ways in which we interact with mountains. But the ways people move through mountains all over the world vary according to the conditions, scope, and traditions of those particular mountains. So when I spent last season shredding in France, I had to develop a whole new lens to see the mountains through. One of the things...

Introduction
The G3 District is a decently wide ski at 112 underfoot (dimensions are 140/112/130). It's the biggest offering in G3's touring oriented "Mountain" Series and with a 25-meter turn radius (179cm length tested) has moderated sidecut. For a biggish ski it's decently light at 1850 grams per ski. It's got camber underfoot, a fair amount of early rise at tip or tail, but is not a twin tip. Think of it then as a cambered ski with mild rocker. It...

Party in April, sleep in May, as the saying goes. Or is it ski tonnes of slackcountry pow in April, sleep in May. Either way, we're just over half way through the 2013 World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler, and damn has it been a good time so far. (Top image by Stewart Medford. Click to expand)
We'll save the full story for the end of the festival, but here's a glimpse of what's been going down so far...
First and most importantly, it snowed! Late April and we...
