The Newschoolers awards are back, though looking slightly different as a result of social distancing. We believe that ski films are the heart and soul of the freeski scene, so this award could be argued to be the most significant of all. We considered all video projects that were posted online without a paywall in 2020 as eligible for this award, which essentially comes down to everything except for the one or two movies still being released in that way. The Newschoolers Awards are presented by Toyota & Mountain Dew.
The nominees are:
Bermuda - @strictly
Magma 2 - @MAGMA.film Crew (@AlexHall , @hunterhess , Owen Dahlberg)
Keeshfile 20 - @Keesh
Nothing - @Level1 (Freedle/Parker White)
Skivas - Bug Visionaries & @colineballetbaz
Short ski videos have been the blood pumping through the veins of Newschoolers since we added the video section waaay back. We variously call them edits, shorts, short films, and more, and it’s hard to know where exactly to draw the line between the three. For the NS awards, cuts over 10 minutes were eligible for Outstanding Video Project. Those sub-10 minute films, were judged as shorts. And whatever you call them, we couldn’t have an awards without recognizing perhaps the most important part of ski media in our eyes. The Newschoolers Awards are presented by Toyota & Mountain Dew.
This year's nominees are:
Intent - Dylan Siggers/Jake Strassman
Switftcurrent - Maggie Voisin/Good Company
Forrgive - Forre
Swirl - Mitchell Brower
Resilience - Sammy Carlson
One of the best parts of skiing is being out on the mountain or in the streets with your friends. Aka anywhere with the right people. More often than not, you start passing a camera around while you have your fun. And so crews become a cornerstone of the media landscape too. This award goes to the crew that has had the most impressive 2020, judged by their output and how stoked their vibe got us. The Newschoolers Awards are presented by Toyota & Mountain Dew.
Shoutout to @-Dan , who came through with some cash from Arsenic to go towards the winner's next project.
Nominees:
@buldozgang
@strictly
@BloodyCarnage
@Keesh
Forre
Love them or hate them, competitions are a huge part of the freeski world. We watch and cover all the major events, and there are some guys out there who make the whole process more enjoyable, courtesy of unique style or interesting trick selection. We wanted to recognize the fact that even though they don’t always come out on top of the podium, their skiing is often the most inspiring to us and the core ski audience.
The nominees for Comp MVP are:
Ferdinand Dahl
Colby Stevenson
Elias Syrja
Henrik Harlaut
Mathilde Gremaud

Well Fuck. You know you need to keep your eyes peeled for some madness from Audi Nines on this insane setup. @MattMasson is out there for NS and so we'll have some sneak peeks for you of what's going on. Keep your eyes on the gram!
Read all about the week and the rider's experiences here.
With the stoke level cranked to 11 and creativity hitting new heights, this year’s session was one to remember. Here's the Audi Nines 2021 Ski Mixtape!
You've already seen the Ski and Snowboard highlights, now prepare yourself for the full monty.
The Ultimate Highlight Mixtape rolls all of our favorite moments from the 2021 Audi Nines presented by Falken into one whirlwind bonanza of shred action. From the slopes of Crans-Montana, Switzerland straight to your screen, this is our homage to yet another spectacular Audi Nines and the visionaries—riders, shapers, filmers, editors, designers, drone jockeys, cat drivers, and photo Gs—who make this very special event what it is.
From the creativity of Patrick Hofmann and Moritz Boll to the sendiness and style of Kim Gubser and Matěj Švancer, this edit encapsulates all of the top moments from a week's worth of shredding on one of the world's most unique feature designs. So sit back, crack open a Monster and prepare for a full-length journey into this year's Audi Nines.

The legend of Hotdog Hans is back!
People have been going down the mountain the same way since the sport began. Then, one day, Hotdog Hans came along and moved the whole sport forward by going down the mountain backward. Free-skiing was born, and the rest is history. But these punks forgot who started it all. Hans is here to remind them!

Recap edit from Scandinavian Team Battle 2022 at CopenHill in Copenhagen Denmark.
The discussion over what ski edit is the greatest of all-time has raged on since the dawn of Newschoolers. So this summer, we figured we'd put the issue to bed. We called on our audience to vote on their favorites from our top 20. We then pitted the top 8 against each other in a head-to-head bracket, voted by our members. Now, without further ado, we present the top 10 Greatest Ski Edits of All Time, as chosen by you.

“For years, top women in the ski industry have heard the same sentiment ‘we already have a girl in this segment, one is enough’,” said Michelle Parker, one of the industry’s most prominent freeskiers and Nexus athlete. “If we want to see change in this industry, we need to be the ones out there moving it forward. Nexus is a milestone this industry was long overdue for.”
While Nexus isn’t the first all-female ski film to debut, something of this scale is the first of its kind as a high-budget feature film, both directed and produced by an all-female team.
Presented by Arcteryx. Five distinct groups of female skiers, five unique stories that tell the story of a deep connection to the mountains, each other, and beyond. Explores how the mountains have been a transformative place for each of these athletes and what they’ve learned from their time on skis.
Coming this Fall.
Two legends of freeskiing join forces to pay respect to those who inspired them in their careers and to tell their stories. Broadcast live on IG, this first episode sees Phil and Eric catch up with Mike Nick, OG Line Skis pro, the man behind Orage and 90's and 00's stalwart.
"Mike Nick is an unsung pioneer of the Freeski Culture. His extensive contribution to the community is manifold; from winning the freestyle ski gold medal at the Winter X Games to founding the first, rider owned, rider operated outerwear brand in newschool skiing, organising radical events, managing a highly celebrated outerwear brand—he has done it all. We are 'Giving Flowers' to Mike Nick" - @b-dog
