On March 26, 2009, ski legend Shane McConkey died in a ski BASE jumping accident in the Italian Dolomites. In countless ways, McConkey defined skiing as a lifestyle and by pushing the boundaries of the sport. Shane was a member of the K2 Skis team and was a creative thinker who challenged conventional wisdom in ski design. His Pontoon rockered powder ski, introduced in 2004, was one of the most profound innovations in ski design in decades. His concept was soon after adopted by the snowboard market thus making the sports more fun for millions of enthusiasts. READ MORE

Todd Bracher doesn’t need a board to wake surf. In fact he prefers to ride his wave’s “Hungarian style”. The water in the Willamette River is not the cleanest and the amount of water that a rider inhales while trying to perform barrel roles “Hungarian style” is about one gallon an hour. Come to think of it, probably not a good choice of surf styles. Todd went home with the green apple two step. Not conducive to house keeping. We wish him the best and hope that the Sears catalog in the crapper will keep him occupied while his legs fall asleep and his stomach starts to eat the rest of his other organs. On a side note Gutt and Reggie tore up the water on a board. Stoked to see them out on the boat. Thanks to Active Water Sports
for the use of a wonderful MB Tomcat and to WakeMakers for making the wake redicously huge.

(Words By Todd) We were beginning to wonder if summer would arrive on Mt. Hood. After countless June evenings building fires to dry our boots and clothes we wanted the rain to stop and sun to begin. The change in weather would also help the snow, freezing at night and thawing during the day would make for perfect conditions.

If my name was Todd Bracher I would move to Government Camp for the summer and ski everyday. Since I would only be able to ski in the mornings, it would only be natural to follow my heart and publish the days events on some sort of new media outlet. I would feel responsible to K2, and the world to express why the K2 Hood House is so awesome and such a great use of funds in these hard economic times.

Well, my name is Spencer not Todd so I can only imagine what it must be like to live the life of T-Money Bracher. I guess we will read the words from this master of disaster and live through him not with him.

Sean Pettit Skiing K2 HellBents

A couple weeks ago we caught up with Sean Pettit on the phone while he was sitting in a computer lab at his high school. We talked about his blow up segments in this year’s crop of movies, being a teenage ski star, and fighting with his brother Callum. READ MORE…

PK Hunder does it again. This year has started off well for the 20 year old Norwegian. PK came onto the scene a couple years ago at the Jon Olsson Super Sessions. He went, did his thing and dominated against some of the biggest names in the business. Jon Olsson took second with his double flip.

His name is synonymous with big, aggressive lines, insane airs, and style in spades. When it comes to making turns off piste, it’s an easy case to argue that Seth Morrison is the best in the business.

For the skeptic in you that needs a little more convincing though, we’ve got a clip of Seth’s segment in the new TGR flick, Under the Influence. You can download the video podcast here (iTunes Store Link) for free, so check it out.

They won’t make you ride like Seth, but chances are you’ll have more fun on his signature K2 ObSETHed Skis than you’re having right now.

John Symms gives us all a great little interview with K2’s Pep Fujas. Must be nice to be in Argentina getting a couple turns in before the North American season kicks off. K2 Kung Fujas are perfect for Pep this year even without poles in hand. The 2009 skis have a similar feel to last years Seth’s we all loved. No doubt that there were some great photo shoots going down in Argentina. Check Pep out at a premiere near you in Hunting Yeti.
