Ron Pankey is our on-the-fly photographer for this winter.  His first stop of the season was at the X-Games in Aspen (followed by the US Open, Telluride and all the other events you’ll see over the course of this season).  He wore a bunch of bandanas, and hung with Tanner at the top of the pipe, he drops the knucks to get everyone going.

Reno Ski BASE Jumping Event
November 17th 2007
Reno, Nevada
Silver Legacy Casino Resort

Words: Jesse Hall

This whole event was created as a Make a Wish Foundation fundraiser along with a Warren Miller ski movie premiere. I cruised out to Reno a few days early to check out the building we would be jumping and drop in ramp we would be skiing off. The weather on the day before the jump was calm in the morning and as the day went on the wind picked up to about 15 mph before sunset.

Yo Yo Newschoolers! Weee’rrreee baaaaccckkk!  We know, you missed us.  Anyways, we here at Colorado FreeSkier are stoked to be back on Newschoolers.com with all of you guys and gals for this coming winter season!  Winter has already begun down here in Crested Butte, the snow’s been flying for over a month now.  We’ve had a few bouts of Indian Summer, but we think that the warm weather is now finally behind us!
