  • 5 Awesome Apres Skiing Bars in 5 Awesome Apres Skiing Bars in North America

      Homewood Resort - Big Blue View
      No day on the slopes is complete without a little after-party. Apres skiing is by no means a new concept, but it’s something that can turn even the worst conditions into an epic day. Every now and again, we’ll come across gems, some hidden and some not-so-hidden, that were simply meant to complete your trip to a specific resort.

      Homewood Resort - Big Blue View
      Sometimes, simplicity does it best. This small resort on the west side of Lake Tahoe offers one of the finest views in California and Nevada. New to the resort is the Big Blue View bar. Head up the Madden Chair on the northern portion of the resort, and look for the bright blue chairs and listen for the reggae beats. It might not be the greatest spot when the snow is dumping, but it’s going to be perfect for the blue bird and spring snow days. As most visitors will claim, the view overlooking Lake Tahoe from the Big Blue View is probably the best one of any Tahoe resort.

      Mammoth Lakes – Clocktower Cellar Pub

      Mammoth Lakes – Clocktower Cellar Pub
      Whiskey and skiing go together like peanut butter and jelly. While it’s not the easiest venue to find among the vast Mammoth Lakes village, it’s worth taking the time to look for it. The Clocktower Cellar Pub is a small basement bar, a far cry from the usual large restaurants and nightclubs that surround the world-famous ski resort. What attracts us to this specific bar is the exhaustive list of more than 100 whiskies from around the world. A few samplings and you’ll love the feel of this smaller bar, complete with a juke box for your après skiing entertainment. Make sure to ask the bartender about their personal favorites, you might get a taste of a secret stash not available on the menu.

      Mont Tremblant – Microbrasserie La Diable

      Mont Tremblant – Microbrasserie La Diable
      For the microbrew lover, good beer is hard to come by. As ski resorts grow and streamline their operations, the microbrew always seems to take a backseat. Fortunately, for the lovers of the Tremblant Ski Resort, you’ll never have to worry about that with the Microbrewery La Diable. Whether you’re just grabbing an après ski beer, or want the 20-minute tour, free samples of each beer are readily available. They usually have six or seven beers readily on tap for your eclectic pleasure, and the lounge-style jazz music makes it one of the most relaxing joints in the area.

      Vail, Colorado – Garfinkel’s Restaurant & Bar

      Vail, Colorado – Garfinkel’s Restaurant & Bar
      When you’re done on these epic slopes, head down the Eagle Bahn Gondola and into the Lionshead to find Garfinkel’s. Trust us, you can’t miss it. This bar and restaurant is enormous, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. This place isn’t for the quiet-time après skiing, but for those who want to party well into the evening. With more than 20 different bottles and drafts, a full lineup of signature cocktails, and a menu spread that’s sure to please any palette, there are no bad days here. If you’re in the area, their New Year’s Eve party is one of the finest of any ski resort in North America.

      Killington, Vermont – McGrath’s Irish Pub
       
      Killington, Vermont – McGrath’s Irish Pub
      For the lovers of Guiness out there, perhaps your ski priorities should be on the bars in the area. While the Wobbly Bar in Killington always seems to take the mainstream cake, the Irish lovers out there should detour to McGrath’s Irish Pub. This small Irish joint takes pride in serving Guiness the way it was meant to be…perfect. The owner is always out and about making sure that everyone is enjoying their selection from one of the best Irish menus on the east coast. In the summertime, McGrath’s only gets better. The parking lot is also a lot for some of the best trailheads, making it the perfect place to start and end your visit to Killington.

      Plenty of skiing and riding left in the season, in fact March is the best time to Apre and shred pow.  Save big when you book your lift tickets online through Liftopia.com

  • News: SIA Focuses On The Busin News: SIA Focuses On The Business of Backcountry

    • From: jakedesroches
    • Description:

      SIA Business of Backcountry
      SIA’s Backcountry Experience booth hosted seven panelists to discuss the Business of Backcountry. The discussion focused on backcountry education and awareness and began with Megan Michelson (ESPN.com Freeskiing Editor) speaking about her near-death avalanche experience last year at Steven’s Pass resort.

      Along with Michelson, the panel included Jeremy Jones, founder Jones Snowboards and Protect Our Winters, freeskiing icon Glen Plake, backcountry.com director of merchandising, Hud Knight, Crested Butte General Manager, Ethan Mueller, Backcountry Access Vice President, Bruce Edgerly, and Director of the Colorado Avalanche Center, Ethan Greene.

      Bruce Edgerly (Backcountry Access) was able to sum up the entire discussion quite well when first talking about Backcountry Access’ business model. He described BCA’s sales system. Where, “we don’t have sales reps; we have tech reps, ski patrol, avalanche safety officers, mountain guides, people who are involved in the snow safety industry. That way, instead of having people sell our product, we have people teach how to use our product.” What this “tech rep” system does is promote a “culture of safety throughout the industry.”

      Why is this culture of safety so vitally important? Because as of right now, the backcountry segment is booming, while the traditional ski and snowboard segments are stagnating. Hud Knight (backcountry.com) was able to really quantify this growth, “sales of avalanche safety equipment have increased 40% year-over-year, and sales of backcountry gear in general have increased by 12%.” Given the state of North-American snowfall over the past two years, this is a huge increase. One thing Ethan seemed to think backcountry.com was failing in was promoting the culture of safety. He said, “We need to find more ways to promote safety with our sales.” This is a noble goal, but something that will definitely be a challenge for the online retailer.

      Ethan Mueller talked about a variety of ways Crested Butte protects skiers and riders from avalanche dangers and how they control Crested Butte’s extreme terrain. Something that really caught my attention, and looks of interest from dozens in the crowd, was talk of an in-bounds backcountry experience on a neighboring mountain on Crested Butte property. The mountain Ethan spoke of “is mostly green and blue terrain, beginner terrain.” For years, Crested Butte has tried to get a forest service permit for lifts to the top. Now, Ethan is trying to find a way to allow hike-to access for this easier terrain. “The goal is to give people a different entry to the backcountry experience, an entry that can be an in-bounds backcountry experience.”

      Ski Hall-of-Famer, Glen Plake, brought up the ironic (and idiotic) conflicts ski resorts face. Many ski resorts today offer backcountry access gates. These resorts even advertise and promote this access points in their marketing, and definitely attract skiers and riders who want to use these gates. But what happens when you go to the ski school and say you want a private guide through the backcountry gate? Legally they can’t take you there, because it is outside of the resort property. What about hiring an AMGA guide? Well they can’t take people there, because they aren’t allowed to take a guided tour from resort-accessed property.

      In the end, I think backcountry and avalanche safety comes down to what Glen Plake called “stewardship.” Glen asked, “Why are twelve year olds learning about avalanche beacons? I guarantee you when spring comes around, those twelve year olds are going to take their beacons and ski hole in the wall. Chances are, they will be fine. But that doesn’t change the fact that Mammoth Mountain’s last fatally came from a skier who was attempting to ski hole in the wall.” Glen continued, “When I grew up, we were told ‘you NEVER ski the backside of the mountain, that’s where you die.’”

      So TGR readers, my question to you is, how can we be stewards of the backcountry and create a responsible and functional backcountry safety system?

    • Description:

      This past December Mammoth found itself with excellent early season conditions, tons of snow, and an Unbound Terrain Park that could arguably match up to the size and quality of most other resort parks mid-season.

      Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut begin their season in the Unbound park, with this ARcast being shot throughout three days of perfectly sunny, wind free days of park lapping in early December.

  • High Sierra Backcountry Season High Sierra Backcountry Season Opener

      High Sierra Opener

      Story and Photos by Seth Lightcap

      The rumors had started to trickle in the previous week. “Crest looking solid. Maybe Negatives?,” said one text message from a Mammoth bro. “Still thin but could be good high, real high,” said another message.

      These were the magic words we had been waiting for. Finally our frantic calls to friends living in Mammoth, Calif. asking, “How’s the coverage? Can we ski in the backcountry yet?!” were met with a response other than, “ Ummm...Bring your climbing gear! Perfect bouldering weather in Bishop!”

      Snow has been stacking up in the Northern Sierra and the Tahoe Basin since late October but the early season storms didn’t hit the High Sierra peaks near Mammoth Mountain quite as hard. Back to back storms the first week of December changed all that, or at least helped the effort. The couloirs and aprons dropping off the crest got creamed enough to start looking tempting anyway.

      A glimmer of hope that we might slay alpine pow lines while our backyard peaks in Tahoe suffered through a nasty melt/freeze cycle was all it took to round-up the posse. Alpenglow Sport’s Jeff Dostie, Brennan Lagasse, Toby Schwindt, Allison Lightcap and I rallied down HWY 395 and went to have a look around near Mammoth in early December.

      This Eastern Sierra season opener trip turned out to offer the complete package - good weather, stable snow, sweet alpine pow shots and the distinct feeling that we weren’t in Tahoe anymore. Conditions weren’t epic everywhere and the coverage was still thin at best, but one thing was certain, it was definitely worthy of leaving the climbing shoes at home.

      June Mountain
      One day we toured out of the recently closed June Mountain. It was an odd feeling being the only two cars in the parking lot on a sunny Saturday. The lower lodge was barren of any signs of life. It looked like no one had lifted a finger at the place since last spring. Starwood Capital Group, the owner of Mammoth Mountain and June, is obviously sticking to their plan to keep June closed this winter. Starwood’s tentative plans are to re-open the mountain next season. We weren’t sure if we were allowed to start hiking from within the resort boundaries but we saw no signs suggesting otherwise. There were also a few sled tracks on top of the first bench for those with braaa-p lapping on the mind.

      Bootpack at June
      We toured way back beyond June Mountain’s boundaries and punched a staircase up a chute to the crest. Damn it felt good to get back in the bootpack.

      Mammoth Mountain
      Yet again, Mammoth Mountain proves to be the snow magnet of the High Sierra. Mammoth’s upper mountain is caked with snow, seemingly more than any other peak in the region.

      Jeff Dostie skiiing near Mono and June Lakes
      Though it had rained to the top in Tahoe two days previous, the summits near Mammoth were spared the deluge. At 10,000 feet we found drifted panels of boot-top winter pow and a fair bit of wind buff snow. Jeff Dostie lapped it up in between long looks at Mono and June Lakes.

      Brennan Lagasse skis a chute
      Rippable passageways through the craggy Sierra granite are starting to fill in. Brennan Lagasse carved up this surf gully.

      Allison Lightcap hiking
      We chased the sun as we best could but it’s warmth was fleeting. Coverage was way better on northern aspects which kept us hiking and riding cold north faces. Allison Lightcap broke out into the sun topping out for another lap.

      Brennan Lagasse rips wind buff
      If you want to shred in the High Sierra you gotta love wind buff. This mission was no exception. Brennan Lagasse ripped into this tasty textured panel of the chalky stuff.

      Sharky Powder
      I wish I could say the Sierra snowpack down by Mammoth was super fat. Sad but true, it was not. There are some sweet alpine lines that were ready to ride but a vast majority of the peaks needed more snow to be fully in-season. Toby Schwindt carved into a rock field soon after this shot.

      Jeff Dostie rips an alpine face
      But where the snow was deep enough...Jeff Dostie found some High Sierra bliss opening it up down this alpine face.

      Brennan Lagasse slashes a powder turn
      Slashing deep pow in the High Sierra is always extremely satisfying. Between the effort it takes to get there and the unfortunate reality that wind or warm temps often strip away the snow with a quickness, you gotta cherish every blower turn you can get in the Sierra. Brennan Lagasse made this turn count.

      Jeff Dostie and Brennan Lagasse watch Toby Schwindt ski
      It’s a distant second to shredding pow yourself but watching your buddy whoop it up takes home the silver everytime. Dostie and Lagasse approve a Toby turn with a hearty pole whack.

      Tom Wallisch at Mammoth

      Mammoth Mountain, California – In preparation for the 2013 competition season, some of U.S. Freeskiing’s best slopestyle skiers are hitting Mammoth Mountain’s Unbound Terrain Park. Boasting the most open terrain in the country athletes like X Games gold medalist Tom Wallisch (Pittsburgh, PA) and AFP overall World Champion Gus Kenworthy (Telluride, CO) have been lapping the park perfecting their runs for the season. Newly back on skis from an injury last January, five time X Games medalist Sammy Carlson (Hood River, OR) and teammates have been utilizing Mammoth Mountain’s 55-foot tabletop jumps and rails to practice for the upcoming season.

      "It feels so good to be on snow and getting my tricks back on point," Sammy Carlson said. "The weather at Mammoth has been awesome and I am stoked on being here; they always kill it with their terrain park. I’m really working on my run for Dew Tour, Grand Prix and X Games. It’s cool having Tom and my other teammates here to push me. I’m for sure having a fun time."

      The U.S. Freeskiing Team heads to Breckenridge, CO on Dec. 12 for the first AFP platinum level event of the season, the Dew Tour.

  • News: Jake Burton Creates His News: Jake Burton Creates His First Signature Snowboard - The Stone Hut

    • From: TetonGravityResearch
    • Description:

      Jake Burton builds The Stone Hut
      BURLINGTON, VT - For the first time, Jake Burton, Founder and CEO of Burton Snowboards, has built a very limited run of signature snowboards called ‘The Stone Hut’. Available in select snowboard shops worldwide starting today, each Stone Hut snowboard was handcrafted in Vermont at Craig’s (named after Craig Kelly), the most advanced snowboard prototype facility in the world.

      “Even though a piece of me has been in so many of our boards over the past 35 years, this is the first signature board I’ve built,” said Jake. “When the boards team approached me about doing a sig board, I jumped on it and talked them into doing a really limited production run so we could make them in Vermont at Craig’s. Up until now, we’ve only made prototypes or boards for team riders there. So the Stone Hut is special for many reasons, but the one I keep coming back to is I think Craig would be stoked that it was built in his facility - I know I am.”

      The Stone Hut snowboard
      During this past summer, Jake spent a lot of time at Craig’s, fine-tuning each detail of the Stone Hut. His goal was to create a snowboard that was ideal for ‘a powder day in the park’ – essentially a board that was very versatile so riders could easily head down an icy groomer, then dip into powder in the trees. As far as construction goes, the concept behind the Stone Hut board is simple. It’s a twin shaped freestyle board underfoot with a powder nose and a freestyle tail. The Bend is Flat Top, so it holds an edge when riders need it, but also floats in powder. Available in two lengths (150 and 155), the Stone Hut is downsized so that riders can select a board length that is 5 cms shorter than a traditional board.

      For Jake, the Stone Hut board graphic is also ‘a dream come true’ because it features someone he’s always looked up to - Jimi Hendrix. With artwork from the Jimi Hendrix album, Valleys of Neptune, the board graphics are one-of-a-kind. For a finishing touch, Jake personally signed each board at Craig’s.

      Riding the Stone Hut
      The Stone Hut also comes with a few items Jake thought would go well with the board, all packaged in a laptop case that features artwork from Valleys of Neptune. The kit includes EST CantBEDs (size medium), a binding accessory that many Burton team riders and Jake use all the time. If riders need a different size, they can call Jake’s office directly – the number is listed with the kit. Also included is a Sharpie for marking binding stances, an EST Tool for fine-tuning bindings, a credit card scraper that fits in a wallet, a code to download some of Jake’s favorite Hendrix songs and stickers from the Burton archives.

      With only 100 available worldwide, the Stone Hut promises to be a collector’s item for sure. But more than anything else, Jake wants riders to get the boards on snow and send him feedback about the new shape.

      “I want people to have fun riding this board, and I want to hear what they think of the unique shape,” said Jake. “I also hope everyone gets a good laugh from the stickers that come with the board - I couldn’t resist throwing in some that got us in a little trouble over the years.”

      SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Discrete Sport, LLC, a rider founded, owned and conceived headwear brand in the winter sport industry, is proud to announce the addition of Chris Logan to their athlete program.  Equipped with some of the most stylish tricks on the competition scene and a number of strong film segments with Level 1, he is ready to showcase Discrete and make a solid addition to a well-rounded Discrete athlete roster.

      Discrete has committed to sponsor Chris because he stands out among the slopestyle and film skiing pack with a combination of technical tricks, style, and big airs.  Well known as the guinea pig for all of level 1’s massive jumps, Chris put out his strongest segment yet this season and shows no sign of slowing down.  Discrete is proud to help him in his future in the sport.

      Chris's strength is jumping, but he is a multi-talented skier with great rail skills.  His 2010/ 2011 season highlights include winning the North Face pipe and park open slopestyle, securing him a spot at his first Winter X Games.  In the 2011/ 2012 season, his second season of competing at a professional level he qualified for the finals in both of the Dew Tour stops that he competed in. This past season he aimed his focus more towards the film aspect of skiing, and with some very productive trips to Alaska, Europe, and Pemberton, BC he showed off his rounded ability in both the streets and backcountry jumping talents.

      “I created and built awareness for Discrete by sponsoring amazing athletes,” said Julian Carr, Discrete Owner and professional skier.  “Chris fits our program so well, it’s refreshing to know there is a kid out there with so much talent and an eagerness to work hard – that’s our formula.”

      Chris will be based out of Mammoth Lakes, California again for the 2012/ 2013 season.  He plans on competing in The Winter Dew Tour, along with a few other contests throughout the season.  He also plans on continuing his film career with Level 1 Productions and putting out web edits with his Mammoth based crew Montage Inc./ Purple City Project. 

      Discrete Sport, LLC is the true rider conceived, rider owned, rider operated headwear company in the snow industry.  Business operations begin in 2008, Discrete is a collaboration of athletes, designers, musicians, artists, and photographers.  The company’s international office is located in Salt Lake City, Utah with distribution in the United States, Norway, UK, France, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and South Korea.
