Pre-Glacier Stoke!
Hey there! Just checking in from beautiful Vancouver, BC! Here I've been enjoying a little sun and staying active in preparation for the glacier season to begin shortly up in Whistler, where I'll be coaching up at the Camp of Champions! Super stoked to get skiing again, as it's all I've been thinking about since the season came to a close a few weeks ago, although it feels like it's been ages. As much fun as it is to enjoy other sports, wear shorts, and Instagram pictures of sunsets, I for one would much rather be making turns on snow.

The Art of Cutting Skis (In Half)
This past winter we signed up with SIA to become Utah's hub for their ski and snowboard gear recycling program. What that entailed was setting up a shipping container to collect skis, snowboards, bindings, boots, poles and helmets from local shops and resorts. When a person was done with their gear, they could turn them in at the shops, and the shops would bring them to us.

Two Feet of Fresh Snow in Kirkwood is making for epic Twisted Sisters Conditions
After a low snowfall year all around the West, mother nature flicked the "On" switch just in time for Twisted Sisters tomorrow. The contest has been moved to the Lower Cirque, which has at least 24" of fresh, untracked snow on it from this storm. And it's still snowing!

Pillow land and Caaanadia
A few weeks a go we took a trip up to the Sorcerer Lodge out of Golden, BC. The trip was unreal, it was my first time skiing pillows-and I got my ass kicked, but man was it fun. This is the final episode of the season for me, hopefully next year wont bring the worst season in 40 years like this one did. pz Weston

EP3: Sleeping Dragon
No secret the winter in Utah has sucked pretty hard. From the low snow conditions to the appalling avy conditions its been tough to get any work done. But with a little bit of travel, a lot of hard work and some luck we managed to find some fun snow. We traveled up to Oregon, then back to Utah and finished up the episode with a Park City Powder Cats excursion. Check it out and let me know what you guys think! -Weston

January
Wow what a Month? At the Beginning of the month the whole Canadian team headed to whistler for a training camp before the back to back competitions of Dew Tour and X Games. Conveniently the North Face Open changed venues to Whistler, which would take place while we were there. So bonus why not a little more practice at competing. In whistler we had a sweet air bag set up. A huge quarter pipe into a bag at the bottom of Blackcomb Park.

Introducing the HOJI - All New for 2012/13
What you see above you is the HOJI, an all new ski for 2012/13. As the name suggests, this is the latest in the line of skis designed by the evil genius of Eric Hjorleifson. The HOJI is basically the culmination of what Eric has learned about ski building through the EHP and the Renegade. The HOJI uses the same Reflect Technology as the Renegade, meaning the rocker radius matches the side-cut radius, but it comes in at 112mm underfoot, making this ski lighter and more versatile in variable conditions. With Eric's focus in recent years on doing more touring, and more long approaches, having a lighter, skinnier Renegade became almost a necessity. It is also a very friendly resort ski. The Reflect Technology, and the 30m turn radius make the HOJI quick and nimble, while still providing the same stable launch pad of the Renegade. Here is what Eric has to say about it: ?Based off of the performance qualities developed, tested and proven by the Renegade, the HOJI incorporates Reflect Tech, matching the rocker profile with the sidecut radius. This gives the HOJI an unparalleled powder carving sensation that I have yet to experience on any other ski (except for the Renegade of course). With a 112 mm waist it is designed to also be a versatile ski in firmer snow conditions for ski touring. I am extremely excited about the HOJI and I will have them on my feet for a good portion of the season.? Here is a short edit we made last June about the HOJI prototyping process, back when it was still under it's working name, the Hoj.
