Kevin Brower is an amazing athlete. At least a dozen images of his skiing antics have been published over the past 4 or 5 months including a running add for Mammut, a double page spread in Powder's photo annual, and two shots in Red Bull Illume. Photog credits go to Steve Lloyd.

While he may be at his highest level of skiing so far in his careef as a sponsored athlete, he has basically left snow alone most of this season to get an awesome project off the ground. The project is Snogression. Snogression is an indoor bike/ski/board training facility. There are really only a handfull of legitimate facilities like this in the nation.
Inside, you will find a ramp/foam pit with a new fully automatic propulsion system called Hyperdrive. This system is unique to Snogression and totally awesome. I got to see it in action last night. This system allows for a lower ramp with less steps to climb for each return trip. Ramp surface can be changed for bike sessions. You will also find Olympic fly bed trampolines, two of which are placed up against the foam pits. With good demand, the facility has additional space for expansion and new features.
Snogression is an awesome joint. One can learn new tricks in a safe and condusive atmosphere before taking them to the snow or dirt.
Check out the schedule for session times and information.
