Team Rider Ian Hamilton hustled his ass off last season to chase the snow, build jumps and stack shots. Check out what he cut up and get stoked to see more rad shots coming from him all winter. Smash the follow on IG and keep an eye out for him @ian.t.hamilton
We are stoked to bring on David Wise to our team. Here's his welcome video, and a look at how we prototype skis for athletes.
Part 1 of 4: Goldpan, Turnagain Pass, Alaska
Every year team rider Josh Randich invites us up but every spring we get wadded up and can’t break free. This year we decided to pull the trigger early, at a time when arguably the Wasatch and Tetons are at a historical height, not to mention whats happening in Japan, to get a different perspective on AK. Josh has been teasing us with glistening maritime south facing features for years and its time we get up close and amplify the high times found in the Chugach mid season.
Our shred crew consisted of Josh and Wiley Miller. Austin Ramaley, Carson Meyer and myself were there to capture the action. We arrived February 1st and we spent 4 of the next 6 consecutive days climbing south facing spine walls right off the road. Only in AK and for only 1 week, we were living the dream!

"I never realized how valuable creative expression was for my mental health until I created this edit. I hope that this video resonates with everyone and inspires you to take some time to express yourself. Whether it’s painting, dancing, singing or skiing, a creative outlet is such a powerful method of mindfulness and self-care. Wishing everyone well during this tough time, hope to see on the slopes!" - Ian

"This was one of the best seasons I've ever had. It was my first year shooting with Good Company and Level1. Everything came together and I was in the right place at the right time; not to mention there were all-time conditions that year. It was also my first year of building my pro-model ski, the InThayne with 4FRNT." Read Thayne's full story HERE!

The only worthy roof for the talents of Eric Hjorleifson and Thayne Rich is in a backcountry touring hut, where life remains primitive and the skiing, well, radical. This is a complete 4FRNT adventure with great disparity between top talents, each driven to create content from alternating perspectives.
What happens when you put the GAH poster boy (Hoji) in a hut with a rookie like Thayne? Does the puppy breathe life into the old dog? Does he fall in line, one kick turn at a time?
The 2-part Meadow Lodge documents a 3-day adventure with Eric and Thayne in The Esplanades, an eastern sub range of The Columbia’s where the terrain flows east to the Columbia Rivers’ Kinbasket Lake.
Enjoy the crafts of these two backcountry skiers as they literally ski from the door of Meadow Lodge down fluted spines, endless pillows and perfectly gladed tree runs.

This week Tech Talk wraps up our fundamentals series with an episode on grabs. Time to dominate your own style!
This week we wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the HOJI, which will be in stores next fall. This video was done over the summer for internal use, and we thought we'd share it with all of you. (PS - the ski was originally going to be named the HOJ when this video was made.)
