Looks like Mr. Tanner Hall is back on snow after a grueling year of rehab. He looks to be in amazing physical condition and we wish him well. We hope to see some more summer hood footage soon!

The 2010 Red Bull Cold Rush results are in and all I have to say is, WOW. That is the best competition ever. Red Bull sure knows how to make it happen. Check out the video and watch it all go down. The 2011 K2 Hellbents that Sean Pettit is rocking look pretty sick. READ MORE AND WATCH THE VIDEOS…

We are so stoked to hear that Grete is going to be part of the impressive Volkl FreeSki Team. Leaving Head Skis after such a great stretch in her career had to be hard. She should feel at home with teammates Ingrid Backstrom, Dylan Hood, and JF Houle. I am excited to see what she will be able to accomplish with a pair of the new Volkl Chopsticks. Stay tuned for updates on Grete’s new movie “Say My Name“.

Grete Eliassen Volkl Press Release

Everyone could use some organizational help, but skiers are notorious for being especially messy. Maybe it’s the wax scrapings all over our floor, or the gloves, hats and goggles strewn about to dry out, but for whatever reason skiers get a bad wrap for being disorderly.

In an effort to help you clean up, we’ve searched high and low for the best quality wall-mounted ski rack available. Check out our review of the winner after the break (or if you’re the impatient type, just go purchase one right now).

I really hate to report bad news, especially this kinda news. Freeski legend, CR Johnson has passed away today while skiing at Squaw Valley. As reported by FreeSkier Mag he was dropping a cliff at the Light Towers and went over the front on the landing. This sent him over the rocks leading with his head and neck. Ski patrol responded quickly but details of his condition at that point have yet to be released.

Peace be with the Johnson family and friends in this time of great distress. Our thoughts go out to the entire ski industry who will be deeply saddened by CR’s death. RIP

We heard some bad news over the weekend; a rider at our local area was killed in a terrain park accident. While the full details have yet to be released, it is clear is that he died of a severe head trauma, and that he wasn’t wearing a helmet.

Our thoughts go out to his family for their untimely loss, and let this be an all too real reminder that if you’re not wearing a helmet, you should be.  Look, there are hundreds of different helmet styles at varying prices from expensive to cheap from all of the major manufacturers, so there’s really no reason for you not to be wearing one.  Even the pros are doing it, so go pick one up that matches your style, and wear it, it’s the cool thing to do.

The Campus Rail Jam Tour is a grassroots snow sports movement, dedicated to promoting the amateur ski and snowboard scene. We are after all the “up-and-comers” and those who are “about to blow up.” Yeah, you. Oh wait…you don’t have a deodorant sponsor or your own pro-model? Well, that’s cool too. We are down for anyone who knows how to throw down on a pair of sticks.

We have seen TJ, Andreas and some of the other 6.0 athletes wearing what looked to be technical outerwear with the logo we are oh so familiar with. Well here it is. The Nike 6.0 Outerwear line dropped and it is DOPE. I am so stoked on the designs presented this year at SIA. The only question I have now is… “Nike 6.0 is proud to announce TJ Schiller, Jossi Wells and Andreas Hatveit on Nike 6.0 outerwear.” (Nike6.com) Props to all the boys and girls in Beaverton.

Put your skis away because TJ Schiller just closed down the sport of free skiing for the next couple of years. Last night at Winter X Games 10 Ski Big Air, TJ landed a double corked 1620. Yes that is correct, 1620. He just ruined the sport by progressing it way too fast. Because of an awesome couple of jumps by Bobby Brown, TJ had to settle for the silver but I am not sure he is that bent about it. WOW!
