Didn't expect to crew up, but Janky and Tahoe Massive casually joined forces and had a blast today. SloMo Saturday! Tim Sargent, Davis Souza, Keenan Hawkins, Jed Kravitz, Robbie Wait, Hazen Woolson, Grant Wiltshire, Anthony Santos, Shugz, Eli Sobel
Nick Mota, local Tahoe City resident and renowned Meat Cannon/Luge Expert worked for 7 days straight tirelessly building gypsy features with a crew of dedicated friends on the secret slopes of Tahoe Donner. What resulted was truly a spectacle of berms, banks, hips, rhythm jumps and poppy booters with a fair share of scary must-make gaps that together created what we all know as the course for the Second Annual Nick Mota Invitational. With one drop-in, the course split into two separate tracks; the "Meat Luge," a winding and twisting trail of rhythm jumps, 90 degree berm turns and a hip, and the "Meat Cannon," a line that showcased a near-vertical aerials-style jump, a death-defying 35' gap, and a gelande style high-speed sender. With this monstrous snow creation the stage was set for Tahoe's best skiers and riders to risk it all. It's hard to describe it in words, perhaps a video would do the trick.
As the coronavirus put the world on lock-down, Tahoe was getting hit with feet of much-needed snow after a dry January and February. With resorts shut down for the season and nowhere to go, the Janky boys got to work on arguably their finest backyard setup ever. With everything from rails, gaps, a backie booter and even a jump off their sled shed, there were plenty of funky options to get silly and throw some twizzles.
Featuring Keenan Hawkins, Timm Phillips, Hazen Woolson and cameos from Nate Calabro, Tyler Smith and Billy Boy.

JANKYfilms, TahoeMASSIVE and Mad Trees converged upon Revelstoke, BC mid January to ski the legendary terrain of this Canadian outpost. With at least 4 sleds totaled, skis broken, personal injuries, and excessive poutine consumption, it's a wonder that we were even able to get any footage!
Song: Borns "Electric Love" (Oliver Remix)
This video wouldn't have been possible without the help of our friends who contributed footage: Connery Lundin, George Vandercook, and Jed Kravitz and Tim Kelliher for manning the cameras with me. Thanks to the Tahoe Massive crew, the Mad Trees crew, Granite Chief Ski & Mountain Shop, and Slant Skis.
Mid-winter in Tahoe was underwhelming indeed for the Janky crew - low snow totals and high pressure forced them to seek out spring-time activities, for example the Second Annual Nick Mota Invitational and the Castle Peak Jump Sessions. Just when they thought that winter had run its course, Mother Nature surprised them all with a cold system of storms that left over 6' of light powder over the Tahoe basin over a week. Everybody scrambled to ski as much powder as their legs and work schedules would allow, not wanting it to end. Enjoy as the crew seeks out new backcountry locations in South Lake Tahoe and pays homage to the freeskiing mecca that is Squaw Valley.

As California faced down a record 3-year drought, the Tahoe loc-dogs grew restless for some real skiing. After a busy holiday and plenty of sunshine the Janky crew gathered and traveled in a Subaru caravan to the land of sweet powder promises: Jackson Hole Wyoming. J-Hole managed to stay relatively high pressure-free throughout the early season with a good base and rumors of more powder on the way. Ski Riders: Anthony Santos, Eli Sobel, Peter Calhoun, Dave Wadleigh, Hazen Woolson, Cody Wilkinson, Henry Holdsworth, Eric McEwen.

We got lucky with a bunch of great weather right at the beginning of May and managed to film for a few days up at Timberline with friends. Follow us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jankyfilms
The winter of 13-14 was looking much like the last 2 seasons by the time March rolled around, and the Janky Crew was faced with another winter of drought. Low snow totals, high pressure systems and high temperatures left them with few options, and building a jump in the ample corn snow seemed like the right move. Luckily Tim Kelliher had spotted a likely location along the south-facing flank of Castle Peak off of I-80 about an hour hike from Boreal, and the idea was born - build a step-up jump and they will come. We spent 1 day building it and another 2 days sessioning it into the last minutes of twilight with a whole bunch of dudes.
Room For Improvement documents the 2017 winter in the Sierra with 3 webisodes exploring different locations in northern California. With record-setting storms and a monster snowpack, the Janky crew skied deep powder, big lines and enormous jumps into July.

EP. 4 JANKYfilms finishing up at Alta and heading west.
After 4 seasons of drought conditions, the average snowfall of 2016 has been the best winter in a long time. The Janky crew has been waiting for years for the right conditions to come out to this zone, and after a big storm in mid-March things looked perfect. With friends visiting from Jackson and the entire Tahoe Massive crew at hand it was all worth the wait!
Big thanks to all who filmed - Zach Steele, Keenan Hawkins, Timm Phillips, etc. Extra special thanks to Chris Hounsell aka the Godfather aka Hounsellhoff

Hi my name's Hazen, I'm a scorpio and I love dairy. This video is about me skiing with friends in California, Oregon and a dash of Utah in a variety of terrain. Thanks to JP and crew for filming and shredding!
Part 1 of our 3 part web series Room For Improvement. After the new year Tahoe faced down one of the most impressive Januarys on record with numerous atmospheric rivers dumping millions of gallons of rain and almost 300 inches of snow on the peaks around Squaw Valley and Tahoe City. In between storms the Janky crew enjoyed some of the best conditions the area has seen in 6 years, capitalizing on amazing storm skiing and a few cold sunny days. Featuring Anthony Santos, Eli Sobel, Pete Kukesh, Jed Kravitz, Andrew Putnam, Hazen Woolson, Aaron Bushey, and Henry Holdsworth. Big thanks to Niel Kasper, Aaron Bushey and friends for helping with filming!

While conditions for the rest of the mountain were still looking grim, the terrain park was heating up whenever the cameras came out. Witness the incredible aerial maneuvers of the Janky team at Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley as they try to make the best of a bad season! http://facebook.com/jankyfilms
January 2017 was a back-breaking and record-breaking month of atmospheric rivers that brought unprecedented amounts of precipitation to the greater Tahoe area, both rain and snow. This edit is a collection of the Janky crew's best shots from the best sessions during the month of January, all filmed in the Tahoe Basin. Thanks to all our friends who stepped behind the camera to help out, and to those who contributed their own footage to make this edit what it is. And to our athletes: Anthony Santos / Andrew Putnam / Eli Sobel / Hazen Woolson / Henry Holdsworth / Jed Kravitz / Keenan Hawkins / Pete Kukesh / and friends
You might think to yourself "They've really matured in their thirties," or "At least they'll be smarter about the decisions they make while skiing," but you'd be wrong. After almost 15 years of skiing together, we still can't help ourselves. When the weather is good and the vibe is right, we just want to do what we've always done - have fun and push each other on the hill.
Boreal had a great spring park going by the time April 2021 rolled around, and the Janky crew set about making questionable skiing decisions and generally not acting their age. Featuring the riding of Nate Calabro, Sam Barstow, Keenan Hawkins, Hazen Woolson, Nicky B, Garrett Russell, and Andy Hayes.

Just a few shots from yesterday's jump, but it's proof that the snow is back! Get stoked folks
Here's a little JANKY edit filmed on three runs at the Canyons a few weeks ago with Anders Fornelius and Shane Peet. The lift broke, so we were pretty limited to shooting, however, it did provide for a bit of hiking with no people. Hope you guys enjoy!
All shot on the HMC-40
The stars and storms aligned for the eastern Sierra to have all-time conditions when the Janky boys arrived at the beginning of March. Featuring Jed Kravitz, Henry Holdsworth, Anthony Santos, Chris Hounsell and Hazen Woolson. Thank you so much to both Chris Hounsell and Zach Steele for helping man the cameras.
