It's spring, which of course means it's insane here at the Newschoolers office. Red Bull events, SuperUnknown, Gear Week and now Kimbo Sessions have us all scattered across the globe watching the best of the best in skiing. Nestled in the midst of the madness was a weekend like no other, an event that stood out to everyone who attended or watched through FOMO-riddled Instagram vision. Our very own event, the Pro Bowl Riding (PBR) Session.

Sunshine Village is known for their willingness to bring visions to life - look at snowboarding’s (don’t hate me) Holy Bowly, numerous renditions of The Village and It’s Tits - as well as being Newschoolers’ unofficial home.

For its fourth iteration, PBR and the epic @ShredSSV park crew along with our dedicated Dig Crew (Shoutout the PEI boys and numerous other volunteers), left no stone unturned in creating the biggest and best park yet, with hidden gaps, creative lines and some seriously gnarly rails.

Stacked crews descended on SSV for a three-day shred fest like no other. Famous faces returned like Ian Hamilton, Kyle Coxworth and B Frank (ARRGGHHH) along with newcomer Cole Isfan showed us how it’s done and the local homies kept firing on all cylinders.

With a loose but lit format being the primary focus, skiers rode the park with friends, filmers and fresh faces all weekend. Stacking clips and ticking off tricks. The Every Man Jack and 4FRNT Best Trick saw a jam format brought to almost every feature in the park where the biggest sends were rewarded with prizing from the sponsors. Riders voted for winners to walk away with the cash and the glory, and the champagne showers returned to mark the end of another incredible session.

Sunshine's support to make to let us run wild with this event is something I cant thank them enough for. Since 2018 when we started this I've got to watch it grow and become better and better. Without a doubt we can say this is the best it's ever been. The features were there, the homies were there, and the vibes always leave us speechless, and even more stoked on bringing it back year after year. We’ve walked away from every one of these with a handful of new friends and a bunch of excellent, often very cloudy, memories. Open format, flow-oriented events bring out the best in skiing and more importantly skiers.

I could tell you more about how epic this event was but if you were there you already know and if you missed it you’ll just have to rely on these photos, the recap edit and attending next year to see what all the fuss is about!
