"After walking the future Red Bull Hardline track, I'm pretty intimidated but excited... bringing Red Bull Hardline to Canada is something everyone has wanted."

Kirkwood has had a pretty solid past few days, seeing 42 inches of snow through the past 7 days, 31 of which fell in the past 48 hours. As of April 13th, Kirkwood has 5 lifts spinning with 45 of 84 trails open to skiers and snowboarders.

The ski season in Colorado is being described as the worst in 50 years, with resorts opening less than half their usual terrain for much of the winter.

The Black Lantern Inn was a familiar place where I ate with my kids, sometimes once a week. My room was well beyond my expectations for a last-minute booking: a king-sized bed, separate living area, jacuzzi bath, and many thoughtful details, including several back issues of Skiing History Magazine to flip through.

The storm cycle will bring 8-17 inches of new snow to most open resorts in the PNW, with snow quality starting dense to moderate on Tuesday and improving as colder air arrives on Wednesday.

Mammoth Mountain reported between 12 and 18 inches of new snow over the past 48 hours, with additional snowfall forecasted to add to an already solid late-season base.

Both days delivered clear skies and cold temperatures, with hardly a cloud overhead and almost no wind. Despite the strong alpine sun, temperatures remained below freezing, keeping the snow in excellent shape across the mountain.

For 20 years now, the crew behind the BC Bike Race has been bringing fun and challenging MTB events to British Columbia. This year, they've announced the all-new BC Bike Fest, a three-day MTB festival taking place from May 29-31st. This event will debut in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island, B.C., starting on the final day of the BC Bike Race and running alongside the first of two Mega Volt eMTB events for 2026.

Enzo attempted a double front flip at Alaska's Hilltop Ski Area. He comes pretty close to landing it, nearly getting his skis all the way around, but he just didn't quite get it.

The 2025-26 winter saw extreme weather, with the eastern half experiencing consistent cold and heavy snowfall, while the western half endured record warmth and a lack of snowfall.

Isaac Kaufman is earning quite a reputation for epic airs and gnarly flips, many of which take place at his home mountain of Palisades Tahoe.

The storm from Tuesday morning through Thursday evening is expected to deliver significant snowfall, particularly in the Banff corridor and Kicking Horse, with Sunshine and Lake Louise receiving 30-40 cm of snow.

Violence on the ski mountain is never justified. If there's a serious problem, get ski patrol and let them handle it. But some people are just too entitled and have no sense of self control, ruining the peace that should exist on the resort.

Every single one of the resort's 116 runs was open, and all 16 lifts were spinning. In early March, that's a big deal. Arriving at a mountain firing on all cylinders-with no closures shrinking the map, is a decadent experience during this trying winter. Big White provided wide-open freedom across five alpine bowls and perfectly spaced glades.

If you've never driven into Banff, it's a sensory overload. Razor-edged peaks reminiscent of the Italian Dolomites, glacier-carved valleys that echo Yosemite, and a constant play of light and shadow that shifts with every bend in the road. Photos don't do it justice.

Two guests at Whistler Blackcomb narrowly avoided injury in an inbounds avalanche on February 2. The incident took place in the Saudan Couloir, an 'experts-only' run, on Blackcomb Mountain known for its steep pitch and demanding terrain. This avalanche highlights the persistent risks present in steep, high-alpine terrain even within resort boundaries. At approximately 12:11 p.m., Blackcomb Ski Patrol received a call and responded immediately to the area.

Conditions delivered a glimpse of for what Fernie is known. Soft snow lingered across much of the mountain, especially on shaded aspects and in the trees, where cold temperatures preserved quality turns and wind pushed snow into healthy pockets. Visibility fluctuated at times, but when the clouds lifted, the terrain revealed itself in layers-bowls feeding into glades, ridgelines spilling into natural halfpipes, and sustained fall lines that can keep a rider's legs burning.
