  • From: ryandunfee

    “Heel Pieces” is a column by Ryan Dunfee published twice a month on TetonGravity.com. In each entry, Dunfee tackles an area of ski culture in an effort to provide insight to the sport. This week, Dunfee takes on the biggest issue facing ski towns world wide: partying.
    
    The Art Of Ski Town Party Planning
    
    Ryan Rambo grew up snowboarding the tiny hills near Columbus, Ohio. After college, Rambo moved to Seattle, started snowboarding the Cascades, and at the same time began break dance lessons. After years of traveling, we would eventually meet in Bariloche, Argentina, where Rambo, completely sober and in an orange one-piece, was throwing down a torrent of a one-man show, completely unafraid to breakdance solo at a party Corona and Reef were throwing in the base area.
    
    We would eventually become roommates in Tahoe, and Rambo’s social fearlessness, relentless enthusiasm for dancing, and passion for creative celebration concepts has led him to a formidable amateur party-planning career around the Lake. He’s been able to break the mold of boring dude-heavy dubstep fiestas and has instead rolled out a series of dance-heavy throwdowns with excellent music, loose inhibitions, and, most improbably, steady 50:50 male to female ratios. Rambo Party Productions and the DEA (Dance Enforcement Agency) have put on standout parties like Barmaggedeon, the Barmuda Triangle Halloween Pub Crawl, and an epic Soul Train-themed party that served as my going-away party from Tahoe. So I asked him to divulge a few of his party planning secrets for all of you on the cusp of throwing your ugly sweater Christmas party.
    
    
    
    Ryan Rambo: Firstly, anyone will agree that the No. 1 problem in ski towns is their lack of women. Hundreds of millions of unscientific studies done by many anonymous party goers conclude that parties in ski towns have guy:girl ratios ranging from 6:1 all the way up to 9:1. This creates a testosterone unbalance that rivals backwoods coal mines and lumberyards in West Virginia. Balance is key in creating a positive vibe. Trust me, no one wants a circle jerk in the middle of the dance floor.
    
    With that said, every part of the party planning process should be considered with the female in mind. No matter who you are, let your potential female guests be the guiding beacon in following the three-step process outlined below that will guarantee a good time.
    
    
    
    1. QUALITY MUSIC: Play music people like. Everyone has their preferences, but the fact is, most will not enjoy the whomp whomp wiggity wack wobbles of brostep all night long. Find a DJ who is committed to adjusting for the crowd, keeping the energy high, and knows WHAT MAKES PEOPLE WANNA DANCE AND JUMP AND SWEAT. The music brings the party and it should never be discounted. Never have a party that is DJ’ed by some randobro who wants to play the latest Justin Beiber dubstep remix on their iPod, or let them gain control of your music output.
    
    2. CREATIVITY: Create a theme and get super weird! Make the theme unique, but open enough for people’s creativity to run wild. This is essential for bringing in the female beings. Females like dressing up. Get them stoked on dressing up and they will come…and bring their sizzling hot friends. Plus having a costume means the bros have to get out of their tall tees and wear something that is actually cool.
    
    3. PROMOTION: If you have the wind in your sails from creating an event that is quality and creative, then naturally your passion will reveal itself as your party vision evolves and it is time to promote. If you want to throw a true rager — a lightnight bolt smashing, in-your-face party — then EVERYTHING in your life must be dedicated to the cause. Your entire schedule leading up to the event must be dedicated to raging and partying and dancing 24/7. Going to other (crappier) parties and exhibiting your own superior party skills, followed by an invite to your (superior) event is a great tactic. When you invite someone to your party, whether it’s at a bar, on the hill, or in the supermarket, make sure you do a super sweet Michael Jackson-esque spin move after to emphasize how serious you are about dancing and getting wild.
    
    OTHER HOT PARTY TIPS:
    
    •    If you want to get people pumped at the beginning of your party, run into a crowd and start flailing your arms and jumping around and screaming “PARTY!” until people start jumping around and partying with you.
    •    Bring popsicles: people love raging the dance floor with popsicles in their mouths. Get wild and create a glorious cocktail by letting your popsicle slowly melt in a cup of vodka.
    •    Get tons of lasers and fog. People go wild over laser beams. It makes them feel like they are partying in the future.
    •    Watch Soul Train videos on YouTube, and better yet, use a projector to play Soul Train Youtube videos on the wall during your party. As far as dance tutorials and inspiration go, both for yourself and your guests, Soul Train is where it’s at. Here you will see innovative body movements and that kind of sexy funk that has been starting dance parties since the 1970’s. You WILL get laid if you can dance like they do on Soul Train.
    
    *In addition, don’t invite males. Dudes will be at the party no matter what you do.

    November 23, 2011

    Premier multimedia action sports brand Teton Gravity Research announces "La Familia", a select group of TGR's key athletes who will work closely with the brand on special projects. Accompanying this announcement is the drop of the brand's latest lifestyle apparel collection.

    La Familia members include TGR athletes Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Ian McIntosh, Dash Longe, Jeremy Jones, Ryland Bell, Dylan Hood, Nick Martini, Erik Roner and Dana Flahr.

    "We've always treated everyone we film with as part of the TGR family in some way," says Steve Jones, TGR co-founder. "With La Familia, we've formalized relationships with some of our athletes in order to collaborate more effectively on upcoming work."

    "I came up with TGR, and they've really supported me on a lot of different levels, from helping me take my skiing to new places, to working with my sponsors," adds Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. "La Familia reinforces the 'tight-loose' vibe we have."

    As a brand, TGR is as much about the lifestyle the athletes and producers live as it is about the riding in the films. TGR's latest athlete-inspired lifestyle apparel collection celebrates the brand with a line of logo apparel and accessories, featuring original art created by TGR. All tees are made of organic cotton, and hoodies are made of an eco-blend. You can view the collection on TGR's online shop, where TGR's new film, One For The Road, is also available.

• Meet Mack Jones and Colston VB Meet Mack Jones and Colston VB

  • From: sbcskier
  • Description:

    Mack Jones and Colston Vb, good skiers and good people, that being said, they come from opposite sides of the ski spectrum. Party partners by night, these guys are completely different when they get to the hill. Mack slays parks all over the west coast while Colston spends his winters scouting lines and following the snow, where ever that takes him.

    

    Colston VB Blasting Through Some BC Pow

    Mack Jones made the move out west from Ottawa, leaving behind its rolling hills and parks for big mountain and a bigger scene. This man skis like a beast, stomping landings the way they should be stomped, and in my opinion has the best trick selection of anyone coming up that I have seen. Lately Mack has been on his grind, filming with Voleurz, PYP, and Toy Soldier Productions, no doubt putting together solid segments with all of them.

    Growing up in Rossland B.C, home to Red Mountain, Colston got his start skiing the deep white stuff and sending big rocks. His urge to ski pow and drop cliffs never waivered. He has been able to steer clear of the bright tall tees and gang signs that suck so many into the park game. With his consistent hard work and an almost concerning never ending smile, Colston is now starting to make some noise in the big mountain scene, competing all over the coast and filming with the Voleurz family.

    I took some time to talk to both of these young men and asked them the same set of questions to get an inside look at both sides of the ski world. This is what they wanted you to know.

    

    Far from the nearest powder stash, Mack Jones throws a rodeo 5 over a perfectly manicured kicker at Camp of Champions

    Big mtn / park / pipe – what takes over?

    CVB: I can see park skiing getting a little played out. Don’t get me wrong, right now I love the park stuff, I’m a fan, but now that pipe is in the Olympics and slope is being pushed to be an Olympic event I can see it getting too regulated. More judging doesn’t make it better.

    In my mind, big mountain deserves more main stream respect. It brings out more in a skier; it takes a more creative skier to pick a sick line. To me the mountains are limitless and skis were created to access the mountains so that’s where they should be used.

    MJ: I’m a little biased on this one due to the fact that being originally from the East coast, park is what I grew up shredding and continue to ride the most. The fact that you can always learn something new and push your limits never seems to get old to me, so in my mind park riding takes over… for now. But after spending a week in Retallack this winter and seeing what the bigger stuff is all about, I’d say big mountain takes over in terms of straight up gnarliness. I’d never really stood on top of a line and been like, “No idea where I’m going, ok let’s just survive… dropping!” until then and it gave me some serious respect for the mountains- definitely want to do more big mountain stuff. Then of course there’s pipe, which is going to take our sport to the next level. I have so much respect for the guys who slay pipe, some of the stuff they’re doing now is insane! With it now being a part of the Olympics, pipe skiing is going to take the sport right to the mainstream with guys like Dorey, Riddle, and Margetts leading the charge… and who better to do that than some awesome Canadian dudes, right?

    What has to change with contests? Big mountain / Half-Pipe / Slopestyle…
    CVB: Big Mountain contests are getting there, now there is a “style” category so doing tricks is now a big part of your score which I like. Still though, it seems to be who’s the gnarliest, not always who’s skiing the best. It is getting so hard to place well in them without totally risking your life because the level of gnar is so high. I would hate to be a judge for big mountain contests.

    One thing that could be changed in my opinion is the on hill inspection. There is no reason why inspection can’t be done visually. We had a number of instances this year where it would snow over a foot but then due to heavy athlete inspection of the venues in the morning it would be hard pack by the time anyone got a chance to ski.

    MJ: Honestly, I’d have to say that contest trends in both big mountain and slope are really cool and I like the direction things are going. In terms of big mountain, more events like Red Bull’s Linecatcher and Cold Rush would be good. Those contests are so cool to watch and must be a blast to be a part of… much more interesting that your typical big mountain events where the win goes to whoever is most extreme. In slope, the courses are getting much more creative with unique jibs and jumps that require more than your standard slope tricks, which makes it fun to watch everyone do things you’re not used to seeing rather and 38 doubles and a 270 disaster.

    Maybe one thing that could change is the weighting of points on jumps vs. rails. Sometimes I find in slope contests that riders do the bare minimum on the rails in order to not ruin their run before the jumps, because they know that the jump line is where the high scores are earned. That may just be me, but it would be good to see people take more risks on the rail sections and actually be rewarded for it.

    Ski videos need…

    CVB: Better soundtracks for sure… Narration like the old days with would be tight…those movies were rad. The narration was interesting and gave people who don’t know skiing at all a chance to really get into it, not just, “we got here and did this, it was sick”.

    I am more stoked on collaborative projects than the same companies producing the same movies with the same athletes year after year.

    MJ: Aggressive hand gestures at the camera, dubstep, extreme editing, and fancy intros……. kidding! I’m actually a huge ski nerd and am pretty stoked on where ski movies are right now, I just love watching skiing. Insert photo of me in nerd glasses watching ski movies here. A lot of people watch a movie and then go right into hating on what wasn’t in it, what sucked, etc… When I watch a movie I like to spend my time getting stoked on what actually happened rather than what was missing. Yay for skiing, holler!

    Who is the next skier to make waves, out of your crew? 
    CVB: My Rossland homies are REDICULOUS, they are all so sick. They just ski and sled for fun on the weekends and drop bangers all the time, just without the cameras. To me that’s the best, people who shred hard just because they love it, shout out to Brodie Evans and Alex Berg.

    MJ: Rob Heule. Probably my favorite person I got to ride with this winter… he has an uncanny ability to stomp urban rails in a limited number of tries, has some of the best style going right now that is super unique to him, kills it on the Dew Tour in pipe with one of the coolest runs out there, and just happens to be the nicest guy you just might ever meet. Oh… and he drives across North America all winter in the sickest GMC van named Terry, say somethin’.

    Mackstradomus and Colson VB, son of Miss Cleo, tell it how they see it. Now we sit back, wait, and see what the future really holds.

    In Jeremy's words:  

    Stepping into the mountains you never know what you're going to encounter. The first two turns may be waist deep followed by ice through the crux and chop in the outrun. The Flagship is my go-to board for fast and confident freeriding in any conditions. I have designed this board with directional rocker and a blunted nose to keep the tip up in the deepest of snow, camber underfoot and Magne-Traction for edging on ice, a longer radius sidecut for speed and railing turns, a shortened running length for maneuverability in tight spaces, and a freestyle tail to land switch in powder. This board has no speed limit and no boundaries. This is the Flagship of our line and my life's work - the ultimate freeride board. Don't be surprised if you find yourself thanking this board at the bottom of a line.

• Alaska Exploration: TGR drops Alaska Exploration: TGR drops into Petersburg, Alaska

  • From: ToddJones
  • Description:

    March 24th, 2010

    Petersburg, Alaska

              I first rode Alaska in 1993, when Valdez became a gathering spot for big mountain riders around the world. Since that time we have ridden and filmed all over the great state. After 4 or 5 years of exploring Valdez, we had ridden many of the lines in the area and the desire to continue exploring was growing. We decided it was time to start looking elsewhere. We were longing to tap into the endorphin that kicks in when you fly over a ridge and see a beautiful peak glowing in the light and waiting to be shredded.

               So we hit the road and basically started a 15 year mission to discover as much new terrain as we could. Since that time we have explored and ridden in Girdwood, Seward, the Tordrillos, Skagway, Juneau, and Haines to name a few. The latest mission has now led us to Petersburg, Alaska. Petersburg is a bad ass fishing town south of Juneau. We have been doing a ton of recon flights in a fixed wing plane, trying to map out the zones. We have found a bunch of amazing lines and the hitlist is big. We got out in the heli the other day as well, which was pretty sweet. We got into a small spine wall and hit some other mini golf. The weather has moved in now, so we are riding out the storm.

    Here is an initial report from Ian McIntosh as well.

    

    It is always sweet to fly into a new zone. This is coming in on the Alaska Airlines jet into Petersburg. We had flown by this place for so many years. It was time to drop in.

    Petersburg, Alaska is a serious fishing town. This overview gives an idea of how big and active the docks are.

    

    Ian McIntosh sokes in the boats and the town of Petersburg.

    Dana Flahr and the Lone Fisherman. Flahr may stay up and try and get a job on the boats after the trip.

    

     

    Sage Cattabgriga-Alosa srides in the Land of Ice and Snow.

    

    Looks like some cool stuff to do out there.

    

    Sage drops into a sweet face. There is no feeling like that of riding first descents and untouched peaks.

    Flying home at the end of the day. This place is an absolutely beautiful place to ride in. We can't wait to get back into the mountains.
