Salomon Extremes 2013 - Day 1 at Taos
Day 1 of the 2013 Salomon Extreme Freeride Championships in Taos New Mexico went off today, blue bird and all. With Crested Butte being postponed due to low snowpack, this was the first FWQ event of the season.

Black & Whitewater - An Awesome Leif Zapf-Gilje Photo Essay
We totaled the truck, trashed the sled, and had thousands of dollars de-frauded from a bank account. But no-one was hurt, we were in Nelson amongst the friendliest of friends, and there was fresh snow up the road at Whitewater Resort. Pretty good if you ask me.

Chicks Who Rip – Angel Collinson
Angel Collinson has been catching the eyes of the ski industry after being a force on the Freeride World Tour last season. Some seriously aggressive skiing, mixed with modesty and a positive attitude makes her someone that we can’t help but admire.

Seven Screws and a Plate
It always happens on the last run.
I hit up Excitation off the Peak Chair. It wasn't the best snow conditions. I fell at the bottom. I hit some crusty snow and pole planted between a rock under the snow. My ski pole basket got stuck and I got whipped around and hit my head. I was wearing a helmet.
