Description:The shapers at the Kingspark in Hochkönig, Austria worked tirelessly to prepare the Chosen Series kicker after overnight snow threatened the 8th and penultimate stop of Nike Chosen Series. The 15m step-over style jump proved challenging to all the riders and their efforts were compounded with bad visibility from the start.A previous winner of Best Style from the German stop, Jonel Fricke, worked the mic to keep the riders and crowd stoked whilst retail partner Blue Tomato kept spirits up with warm snacks and drinks as the 24 riders braved the snow, cold and cross winds in a bid to take the MVP and a ticket to the Nike Chosen Sessions.Ultimately the weather ruled the comp and with Finals unable to take place riders were judged on their performance in the Qualis. Peter Walchhofer took Best Style following his inverted FS7 tailgrab, Most Creative went to Markus Bernhard by laying out a powder run to knuckle line, but handling the tough conditions by sticking everything with style and composure was Stephan Wimmer from Innsbruck - BS5s, 7s and 9s – who claimed MVP and booked his spot at The Nike Chosen Sessions in April.

With a Nike Sessions ticket on the table all riders upped their game in what was a great atmosphere in the park, local Arvet Fuchs styled a Superman front flip and his first ever backside double cork and Roger Schuler held onto a switch back stale almost all the way to the ground.

Description:
This winter, OR ambassadors Molly Baker, Zack Giffin and Neil Provo are subscribing to the gypsy life, taking off on a two-month tiny house road trip in celebration of a passion-driven, low impact, ski bum lifestyle.
“The opportunity to explore the accessible powder stashes with the most passionate locals is the mission," Provo said. "Getting it the best we can is our objective."
Over the next six weeks, the three OR ambassadors, along with videographers Sam Giffin and Andy Walbon will be road tripping to North America’s most respected sidecountry areas in search of deep powder and influential snow loving locals.
"We are refining the entire process of living as ski bums." Giffin said. "It is really about figuring out what you do and don’t need. For me, I want to ski and there isn’t much else that I need."
Unlike any previous skiing road trip, the Sidecountry Sessions crew is on a mission to find the best snow and greatest communities in prominent powder territory while living out of a ski bum’s dream-home-on-wheels. Along the way, the team will be on the search for the most esteemed, enthusiastic and talented individuals to bring on as members of OR’s Grassroots Athlete Team. Could you or one of your friends be the next team member?
Based on recommendations of local skiers via Facebook (no, you can’t nominate yourself), Molly, Zack and Neil will ski, climb and adventure with chosen nominees in order to select the newest members of OR’s athlete team."Being a part of Outdoor Research is really about being genuine with an honest devotion to a life in the mountains," Baker said. "It makes it really easy for the right people because they essentially continue doing whatever it is that they do and that embodies the mission of the company as a whole."
To nominate someone you know, post their photo to the Outdoor Research Facebook page. In the comments section, reference hash tag #SCSessions and include a brief description of why your person would be a great OR Athlete. If we come to their hill, Molly, Zack and Neil want to get in touch with them for a session of slaying pow.
Find out what it’s like to spend the season searching for new ski talent while living in 112 square feet of unconventional living space. Showcasing local talent, communities and mountains, watch video episodes of the Sidecountry Sessions releasing each week and find out what happens when these gypsy shredders occupy your parking lot.
The tiny house made its debut last weekend at Powder Magazine’s 40th Anniversary party in Sun Valley, Idaho. Stay tuned to outdoorresearch.com/scsessions and Facebook for the next Sidecountry Sessions destination. - 2 years ago

Description:
August 3rd, 2010
13 Year Old Willie Borm of Minnesota has been Chosen as the Winner of Teton Gravity Research’s First Annual Grom Contest.
TGR and the First Annual Grom Contest judges were blown away by the edits received from 7 – 17 year old rippers across North America. Choosing the winner from 35 incredible videos had the judges, TGR skiers Sammy Carlson, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Dash Longe, and TGR co-founder Todd Jones debating for days. The submissions from the ski and snowboard industry’s rising stars covered all aspects of the sport including freeride, big mountain, and freestyle. Almost every edit had the potential to win and provided a thrilling glimpse into the future of skiing.
“We were really blown away by the level of riding that is going down right now. The young up-and-comers are clearly going to be taking the sport of skiing to new levels that are not even imaginable today,” commented TGR co-founder Todd Jones.
In the end, the judges selected 13 year old Minnesota native Willie Borm as the winner of the contest. A shortened version of Willie’s edit will play before this year’s film, Light the Wick, at over 125 film tour locations and on the DVD. You can view the entire edit and all other entries here: TGR Grom Contest
As the winner, Willie will be invited to film with TGR for their untitled 2011/2012 annual film – location to be determined.
Get to know Willie Borm:
DOB: 5/21/1997
Years Riding: 11
Hometown: Chaska, Minnesota
BIO: Winning the Midwest Salomon Jib Academy at age 10 was the spark that ignited the inferno that we see in Willie Borm today. With a signature style of making Poke 9’s, 10’s and Rodeo 7’s appear effortless, Willie explodes off of 100ft jumps and floats his way to the podium. His emerging talents have established this soft-spoken guy as one of the sports’ most promising young guns. At 4’ 11” small, Willie takes on 14 Midwest competitions and one National Championship every year. Known for taking the podium in all disciplines: pipe, slope style and air, one of Willie’s more impressive accomplishments include the 2008 Junior Olympics at Steamboat, Co. where he murdered a mute 9 and landed 7th overall out of 116 competitors age 8 to 17.

What are your future goals in skiing and life? Right now skiing feels like it is my life, because I like it so much. I want to do my best and have fun no matter what I do.
What are your plans for this coming winter? I plan to ride in more competitions like Gatorade, possibly Dew Tour and film film film. I also want to learn more tricks.
Tell us a funny story about yourself? I was throwing doubles in front of some girls on a tramp in Whistler last summer..and let’s just say that I made a little noise in between flips. I was so embarrassed.
