This week it's resorts under the microscope. Like softgoods and skis, people are finding unique ways to be more sustainable.
Colby Stevenson was having a dream season and then Corona struck!
This wasn't the first time Colby had to press pause on his ski career though.
Comebacks, Covid, competitions and even Tanner V Simon are discussed in the Colby Stevenson Interview
To put it simply; you can’t ski without a pair of skis. So if skiing really wants to be environmentally friendly, finding a sustainable way to make them is vital. After last week’s look at softgoods, this week it’s How to Ski More Sustainably: Skis.
In the first of our 'How To Ski More Sustainably' series, we take a look at what companies are thinking about the environment when they produce your latest threads!
In these uncertain times, it’s nice to see a familiar face and a chat with Henrik Harlaut is always interesting. We discuss brain injuries, covid lockdown, skiing narrower skis to save his knees and more.
If you're struggling to pass the time, here's Colby Jame West's guide to getting through...
Most of us are cooped up inside at the moment and for good reason. In very different circumstances, this is the second time I've been in a similar situation.
Here are my thoughts on why time without clicking in, can only increase your love for skiing
At the beginning of March, we were treated to an edit from two freeski icons: Simon Dumont and Tom Wallisch. In this interview, Simon talks about how that came about and discusses his break from skiing. He also looks back on the 'golden era', World Records, injuries and his 'rivalry' with Tanner. It's a long one, but there's a lot to talk about with Simon Dumont.
Markus Eder was a day late to reply for the article about 'How are the pros keeping busy during the Covid-19 outbreak?' but his response is so shocking that it had to be published.
What are guys like Phil Casabon, Tom Wallisch, Jake Mageau and others up to while the world goes into lockdown?
Good news for fans of SLVSH: the inaugural SLVSH World Tour is happening this year!
With XGames Norway this weekend, we'll see the return of their new judging system: Overall impression without numerical scores. We all have our own opinion of this system, but NS got the views of the judge, Jason Arens, and commentator/competitor Tom Wallisch to start the conversation.
Brady Perron is immensely talented behind the lens. His two X Games Real Ski Gold medals are a testament to that. And anyone who saw his appearances in 4BI9 and Stept movies will know that he has the talent to impress on either side of the lens.
After seeing a couple of threads on here about concussions, I think it's time for a quick and simple guide to concussions and the best treatment and precautions.
This article includes some advice from concussion expert, Alex Evans.
*This probably won't be a particularly 'fun' article, but that's ok if it helps people out*
Before FWT2020 kicks off in Hakuba this weekend, an actual FWT judge gives NS a quick refresh on what they are looking for on a run.
In the second half of our interview, Mr. Plake gives us his view on modern skiing and all it entails. You can probably guess that he's not 100% behind freeskiing in the Olympics!
Sam Jackenthal was undoubtedly a talented young skier, but he was so much more than that. After a tragic accident, skiing in Australia, in 2015, Sam passed away. In 2018 the Jackenthal family started Live Like Sam, in his honor, to help young athletes reach their dreams and excel in life and to live like Sam.
The man, the legend, the mohawk. Glen Plake is one of the most recognizable skiers of any generation. The man with so much to say that we had to split his interview into two parts! This week he talks about his early life, troubles and the movie that changed his life.
New sponsors, new motivation. And if you saw his latest movie, 'Over Time', you'll know Sammy Carlson's not slowing down anytime soon!
Vincent Gagnier never looked like he felt the pressure of having to follow his talented brothers, but it turns out he may have been using the force this whole time anyway...
