  • Rahlves' Banzai Tour Finishes Rahlves' Banzai Tour Finishes Strong

    • From: TetonGravityResearch
    • Description:

       

      Truckee, Calif. (March 12, 2013) –Throughout the past two months, skiers, snowboarders and spectators alike have descended upon the Tahoe area to compete in and watch the rowdiest race in the Sierra. Rahlves’ Banzai Tour brought in tough competition from across the country to four renown Lake Tahoe resorts for the ultimate test of ski and riding skills.  The tour also entertained guests with quintessential pre and après ski parties, exciting results, and photo finishes.  

      Starting at Kirkwood Mountain Resort, athletes were challenged by “The Wall,” which proved to be one of the most challenging races to date, as competitors had to drop into an intimidating 20 ft. vertical wall right out of the gate. For the second tour stop hosted at Alpine Meadows, athletes were tested with fast and rough terrain, while spectators were entertained with the closest and most dramatic photo finish in Banzai history. With warm spring-like weather on the first day of the Squaw Valley tour stop, and formidable conditions on Sunday, Squaw tested the resilience of Rahlves’ Banzai Tour, as well as the dedication of tour participants. However, with fresh snow in the forecast, Rahlves’ Banzai Tour rallied for the final tour stop at Sugar Bowl Resort, home of the original Silver Belt Banzai.  

      The Sugar Bowl Final and Super Final concluded the tour in true Banzai style, complete with strong competition paired with music, barbecue, libations and the beloved Banzai atmosphere of camaraderie and healthy competition. Banzai veterans Johnny Bochenek, Kyle Coxon and John Lange took the top spots for men’s skiing during the Silver Belt, which also qualified Lange as the final athlete to compete in the Super Final. Men’s snowboarded Chelone Miller raced to first in the Silver Belt, while women’s snowboarder Kiana Putman and women’s skier Shannon Rahlves both secured the top spot in their respective categories. The men’s Super Final provided drama and a $5,000 paycheck to Salt Lake City skier Kyle Coxon. “The Sugar Bowl final and Super Final were awesome,” said Daron Rahlves. “It was a beautiful day, fans lined the course and the athletes delivered a great show. I wanted to be skiing in the Super Final, but instead was an excited fan like the rest watching and stoked for Kyle Coxon taking home the 5 grand. I will be back in the Super Final next year so those boys better start training now ha, ha.  I’m so grateful to my wife and kids for the endless support, all the sponsors, the fans and athletes for making this year’s tour the best yet. ”

      For those who are curious about the tour’s name, Banzai is a Japanese term expressed as an exuberant cheer meaning, “Long Life!” or “Hurray!”  An apt name for a high-spirited downhill ski and snowboard competition, the Silver Belt Race first took place in the 1940s at Sugar Bowl Ski Resort and was re-introduced with the head-to-head action by Daron Rahlves and Sugar Bowl in 2009. The race continued with one event for another year, and then Rahlves decided to take the show on the road, officially launching Rahlves’ Banzai Tour and expanding to stops at four of Lake Tahoe's premier resorts.

      The Rahlves Banzai tour is presented by Bank of The West. The Rahlves Banzai Tour is also supported by sponsors such as Red Bull, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Contour, CEP “intelligent sportswear”, North Lake Tahoe Chamber/VCB/Resort Association, Spyder, Atomic, Start Haus Ski Shop, Wend Wax, COAL, SVE/BOSE, The Bar Effect, World Cup Supply, Jagermeister, Snow Fest, Sports Insurance, Technical Equipment Cleaners, Resort at Squaw Creek, ZINKA, 101.5 Truckee Tahoe Radio, Tahoe TV, POWDER Mag, High Fives Foundation and CRUX Events, thereby creating an alluring $80,000 prize purse.

  • Sage And Adam Clark Team Up Fo Sage And Adam Clark Team Up For The Co-Lab $100K Video Contest

    • From: TetonGravityResearch
    • Description:

      Sage Cattabriga-alosa enters The Co-Lab

      It’s real: We’re giving away $100,000.

      As part of The Co-Lab contest, Teton Gravity Research is giving $100,000 to the athlete and production team that can create the best freeskiing video segment of 2013.

      The Co-Lab is a skill-based contest, open to the public, where skiers will showcase their ability and creativity in their original, up to 5-minute video segment filmed between November 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013. 

      Once all videos are submitted to TetonGravity.com by May 31, the public will vote for their favorite videos from June 10 to July 15. On July 19, the top 21 videos will be announced. From July 22 to August 9, the athletes from those top 21 videos will vote for their favorite segments. On September 20, a feature-length Co-Lab film will be released, category winners will be announced, and one athlete will get $100,000.

      The Co-Lab contest is open to everyone and anyone can win. With the right talent, a crew from New Hampshire, Minnesota or even Florida could pull off a winning edit. Creativity will lead to victory, not helicopters, big budgets or professional athletes – although those things may help.

      Recently, we caught up with Sage Cattabriga-Alosa and Adam Clark, who have teamed up to enter The Co-Lab. While this is a high profile crew, they have the same chance of winning as you and your crew. The mantra of the contest is “Of the People, by the People, for the People,” so the general public will decide which video features the coolest and most progressive riding.

      We don’t pick the winner. We just provide the platform.

      Below are Sage and Adam’s thoughts on The Co-Lab.

      Are you filming for The Co-Lab yet? Send us your Co-Lab stories to CoLab@TetonGravity.com and you could be featured on this site.

      Adam Clark Shoots for The Co-LabAdam Clark frames up a shot for The Co-Lab $100,000 freeski video contest.

      TGR: Have you started shooting for The Co-Lab? If so, where?

      Sage Cattabriga-Alosa: Yeah, Adam and I did a bit of shooting in Utah during the month of December. 

      Adam Clark: Yes, we started shooting around Alta and Utah backcountry. Utah had a great start to the season. Sage and I were mostly focused on freeskiing, but Sage found a few sweet features that we pulled the camera out for.

      TGR: Why did you decide to team up with Adam Clark? Adam, Why did you team up with Sage?

      Sage: Clark and I have been close friends for a long time and always enjoy bouncing creative ideas back and forth. When I heard about the comp, I knew I wanted to partner up with him.

      Adam: We have worked together for a long time. I think 2002 was our first year shooting together. We have a lot of similar tastes in art and skiing.

      TGR: Other than the $100,000 prize, what attracts you to The Co-Lab contest?

      Sage: The opportunity and motivation to work on a personal piece where we can take our individual creativity to its limit was the most attractive thing about the contest.

      Adam: Its something unique to skiing, there's never been anything quite like it. 

      TGR: As pros, how are you going to manage shooting for TGR's annual film and shooting for The Co-Lab?

      Sage: Over the winter, I have some trips scheduled with TGR and some windows to fit in some shooting for The Co-Lab.

      Adam: I've chiseled out time to shoot The Co-Lab. I've just said ‘no’ to a few other shoots because I'm excited to give this a try.

      Adam Clark Co-Lab filming kitAdam Clark's Co-Lab filming kit.

      TGR: What do you think makes a good ski segment?

      Sage: A theme, good content, and creativity.

      Adam: Always great skiing, style. I'm a fan a unique angles and storytelling without words.

      TGR: How do you hope to improve on what's been done?

      Sage: I just want to put together a creative piece that people enjoy to watch. It's not my intention to better what other people have done in the past.

      Adam: I'm just hoping to make something different and fun that keeps somebody’s attention for five minutes.

      TGR: Who are you most excited to see enter in The Co-Lab contest?

      Sage: I am really excited to see what gets put out there. It will be cool to see who puts out material and what the various visions and interpretations come out of it.

      Adam: People that I have never heard of. I know there's some dark horses out there that are super talented skiers and filmers. It would also be really cool to see some top name athletes that have their own vision of what they would want to see as their segment.

      TGR: What do you think will make a winning Co-Lab edit? Will it be the locations? The cinematography? The athletic talent? The editing? The music?

      Sage: It really depends. Bottom line, something that is fun to watch and gets people fired up.

      Adam: A combination of all of that. I'm hoping to see some really epic editing and action!

      TGR: If you win, what would you do with $100,000?

      Sage: Split it with Adam, pay taxes on 30 percent and go to Brookstone next time I'm at the airport and get one of those cool RC helicopters.

      Adam: Keep travelling around skiing pow. Maybe buy a new camera. Depends, maybe Sage will keep it all to himself. …

  • Interview: Hayden Price's Alta Interview: Hayden Price's Alta Life

    • From: brodyleven
    • Description:

      Adam ClarkHayden Price crushing in Alta. Photo by Adam Clark.

      Skiing around Alta with Hayden Price is like riding with the best skier you know, your best friend, and the best tour guide ever. Except he’s the guide skiing up to a cliff zone, throwing a huge 180 into pow, and only waiting for you because he wants to watch and give you a high five. You don't actually ski with Hayden at Alta as much as you follow him, graciously. The 26-year-old has had an Alta season pass for 24 seasons. He has a distinct style on skis—seemingly disinterested with passing trends, though invariably on the cutting edge. Hayden was the first skier I remember really watching—like, taking notes and emulating—when I moved to SLC seven years ago. He can't ski Alta without people following him, and you'd be intimidated by that fact if he weren’t the happiest, mellowest, and friendliest icon on the mountain. Everyone knows him and he knows the mountain from behind a set of powder-surfing eyes like none other. He's that popular local shredder at your little hometown hill…except he’s that guy at freaking Alta.



      BRODY: Hey dude. Where are you and what's been happening?

      HAYDEN: Hey Brody! I have been enjoying a better snow year here in Utah’s Wasatch mountains and am currently packing up my gear to head to Canada on a film trip.

      BRODY: Where did you grow up? How often did you ski?

      HAYDEN: I grew up at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. I skied mainly on the weekends.

      BRODY: Although you were frequently at Alta, your home was actually down Little Cottonwood Canyon’s Highway 210, in Salt Lake City. What differentiates you from a skier who has grown up living right in the Town of Alta?

      HAYDEN: Growing up in Salt Lake City was a true blessing. I had the oasis of Alta only a stone’s throw away and yet grew up in a metropolitan city. I believe this kept me open to the diversity that may not otherwise be found if I grew up in the bubble that is Alta. Seriously, it is a different world up there, and you feel it the moment you arrive.  SLC has a great music, art, and food scene that I really enjoy. Variety is the spice of life.

      BRODY: Speaking of variety, please describe your ski style and what influences it.

      HAYDEN: My style is a cornucopia. I spent years dedicated to the idea that I if I can ski it forward, I should be able to ski it backward. As that motivation evolved, I looked to other sports for inspiration because I felt skiing was a little dried up. I saw the way other action sports were using their apparatuses and wanted to emulate the moves they were doing on my skis. Skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and mountain biking had a lot to offer my thirst for different skiing. Growing up at Alta, surrounded by loads of “classic” skiers, I strived to differentiate myself from the masses. I skied a whole season of resort riding without poles in hopes of cultivating a unique relationship with my edges and the way my skis flexed. Watching all the possibilities a skater has for doing tricks, I felt there must be more I can do on my skis. I am currently focused on butters, presses, scrapes and strange transitions. If there is snow, I’ll slide on it and find something that makes it interesting to me.

      BRODY: You ski huge cliffs, backcountry tours, park, natural jumps, and super deep pow. People don't understand what kind of equipment you use for such an array of pursuits. Do you have an arsenal of gear, or what? What is one piece of gear you couldn't live without?

      Brody LevenHayden Price dropping into a line. Photo by Brody Leven.

      HAYDEN: I definitely have an arsenal. Skiing is so particular now that I choose my skis specifically for what I’m doing that day. I have a lightweight tech binding setup for long tours and soul pow turns, and multiple sidecountry setups consisting of Marker Dukes or Alpine Trekkers for hitting jumps and drops out of the resort. My inbounds bindings are Rossignol FKS. All of my skis are 110mm under foot or wider, and all have some type of rocker technology. I couldn’t live without my Full Tilt boots.

      BRODY: Surface employed your snow-snorkel expertise in designing a new ski. Please explain.

      HAYDEN: The Lab001. I look to other sports for inspiration not only for ski sliding techniques but also for the technologies they are using. The new Lab ski has a front-to-back “3 stage rocker” as well as “Deep Dish” technology. This idea comes from our desire to have a really surfy powder ski that has a catch-free feeling.  The “Deep Dish” is a left-to-right convexity on the base of the skis. Essentially, the ski is base-high by a few centimeters.  This really allows the ski to be tossed around at will and opens up the world of trickery in powder snow.

      BRODY: Do you film with anyone? Where can people see and follow you (besides as fast as they can at Alta)?

      HAYDEN: I filmed with Sweetgrass Productions last year in Nelson, BC. This season I have been focused on working with local [Little Cottonwood Canyon] boys, Dubsatch Collective. We have a great season lined up with some really fun ideas. Stay tuned, as webisodes are dropping frequently on dubsatch.com

      BRODY: Why Alta?

      HAYDEN: It is the birthplace of powder skiing. The quality and quantity of powder that falls at the end of Little Cottonwood Canyon is unmatched worldwide. You can’t beat the access, the people, and the terrain. Alta and the surrounding areas are pure magic!

      BRODY: Your skillset is not only strong but also uniquely diverse, how did it develop?

      HAYDEN: I watched my home hill heroes, like Sage, and wanted to do what they were doing while adding my own flavor to the mix. [As a teenager,] I would ride Chip’s Run at Snowbird with all of my snowboard homies, copying the style of tricks they were doing off the cat tracks and gaps. I ran a terrain park at Alta with my friend Jordan for a few years. We always pushed each other to do more creative tricks and to be able to do them in many ways and on different terrain. I am really into climbing and mountaineering, too. Combine the jib aspects and long distance pursuits for fresh snow and you get me, HP.

      BRODY: Who do you love to ski with? Do you like everyone following you?

      HAYDEN: I love to ski with friends and family. Skiing with any of the Dubsatch crew is always great and I don’t mind anyone following us around. Join in on the fun!
      Regardless of whether he grew up in the Town of Alta or twenty minutes down the road, Hayden is most at home on that mountain. His skillset reaches from one end of skiing’s spectrum to the other while being one of those skiers who you recognize through unique skiing style, not through his outerwear or the bottom half of his face in the liftline. Since that season seven years ago, when I first realized how capable he was in the mountains, I’ve watched Hayden’s mentorships and friendships develop within the Little Cottonwood Canyon ski community. Not only does everyone know HP, but they only have compliments to offer. Forthcoming video parts will finally expose HP to the world, showcasing his talents as not a park skier, backcountry skier or Alta skier, but as a mountain skier.
