A few months ago Keely Kelleher honored the late ski racer Spencer Nelson, by entering a photograph in a Warren Miller contest. With over 2000 Facebook Likes, she ended up winning the contest and donating the grand prize — a 6 day heli-ski trip to Alaska — to Spencer’s younger brother Connor. The winning shot? [...]
Ted Ligety and a dozen or so boys of the US Ski Team are at Mount Bachelor in Oregon putting some miles on the ski odometer. While the race training conditions have not been all that good with too much snow (believe it or not), the freeskiing has been great. The people at Bachelor caught [...]
Melissa Presslaber is one adventurous freeskier. She recently sent us some amazing photographer of some back country Arlberg action this past season. With terrain like that, I’m sure she was happy to have her back protector strapped on.…
Shred’s Austrian freeski ripper Melissa Presslaber hit the mountains for one last time this season. She strapped on her helmet cam and came back with this footie: Thanks for the scenes Mel! Hope you have a killer summer with plenty of sun and surf.
It?s only getting better. For real, the past month has been really good for me! I took some time off from physical therapy to have some fun and recharge mentally. After spending all of March in Park City slowly progressing through therapy I was ready to take a break! In early April I took a [...]
Yeah, we know… the shredder page has been outdated for far too long. Shred has received many emails and comments about the need to change the old Shred Athletes page and to spruce it up both aesthetically as well as actually feature most all the sponsored Athletes. Now we’ve got our athletes listed with more [...]
If you’re going for it on the mountain, you better take some sensible precautions. Just take a look at this spectacular ski crashes video of carnage!
Alice McKennis blogs about her harrowing experience breaking her leg in a World Cup Ski Race a few months ago… I was injured Jan. 2 training SG in Saalbach, Austria. It was the last run of the day, almost last gate, my left ski caught and I crossed my tips. Not a super crazy-gnarly crash but violent enough thats [...]
Balls-out.
Turns out that Marco tweaked his neck on after slamming hard on a massive jump. Actually, this pic was taken moments before the fateful impact. Yeah, his back was spared, but what can you do about whiplash besides not…
Flying under the radar seems to be Ted Ligety’s MO. Who can go season after season, winning alpine skiing crystal globes, winning championships, Olympics and just generally dominating an entire discipline, and not be hounded by the tabloid press? OK OK, Ligety ain’t no Lindsey Lohan whose every move is documented, but damn, just look [...]
Well, all good things come to an end, and it looks like Marco Feichtner (aka Fichtl) may have had his last day of powder for this season. He was out shooting pics on this killer powder day with Gigi, Björn,…
German shredder Tobi Deckert can usually be found just killing it on the hill. Park and pipe wunderkind isn’t a stranger to the camera and the edit bay. Here’s a little piece he did for the Suzuki Nine Queens Event in Austria a few months ago. It’s in German, but I think you can still [...]
Austrian flow master Wolle Nyvelt recently checked-in and told us of the not-so-great news that he tweaked his knee while out on assignment. Pain intense and fearing the worst, Wolle set out to check with a knee specialist.

A few days ago, Resi Stielger sent us some action shots from the mototrack on Maui gettin’ dirty. This time it’s a whole different kind of dirty, as snowboard Jedi Romain De Marchi goes cruising Whistler with his Yes boys. There’s nothin’ really dirty about this vid, besides the fact that it’s straight to the [...]

Back on the bike after two years. I had some little kid yelling slow poke at me down at MMA. It was classic. Watching those little kids throw themselves over jumps when they probably just learned how to walk is so motivating. I love doing millions of different activities and challenging myself. Off season is [...]
