skiing

30 skiers near Montreal pulled off a pretty cool trick on Sunday. They joined hands, hit a jump, and nailed a backflip...together. It was pretty sweet, it looked like an aerial wave. They were reportedly trying for a world record, but it hasn't been confirmed by Guinness yet. Two videos were taken, one from above the jump and one from below. Check out both here:

I'm fairly certain (judging from their comments) that this video was taken by tourists but it's a beautiful example of mellow Spring skiing at Bridger Bowl. The season comes to a close on April 8th, 2013 so get out there, raccoon face!

A Swedish skier triggered an avalanche during a recent downhill event in Switzerland. He outruns it and throws in a backflip! Check out this sick video:

It's true. Bridger Bowl is getting two new lifts for the 2013 - 2014 ski season, essentially splitting the Alpine lift into two separate lifts next season. Details here: According to a press release from Bridger Bowl this morning: Bridger Bowl Board of Directors have approved a $4...

Attention all skiers and snowboarders! With the addition of a Bag Jump at Moonlight, you no longer have to worry about successfully landing that 720 you've been trying to dial down. Simply huck yourself onto this giant inflatable pad and you're guaranteed a soft landing upside down or right side up! Let the progression begin!

Big Sky Resort is the only groomed downhill game in town right now and this Friday hit the slopes all day for the amazing price of $20 (plus 3% resort tax).

I generally opt out of the season pass each year and instead try to hit up all the special ticket price days at Bridger Bowl, Big Sky, and Moonlight. Cheap ticket days paired with full priced great powder days equals a great season for me! From Turkey for a Ticket day to MSU Bobcat Day, I've compiled the dates to mark on your calendars for lift ticket deals this ski/ride season.

On the brink of winter in a ski town...a truly precious thing. Here's a warm 3 minute reminder.

I've yet to ski at Great Divide but from this video of their EARLIEST opening day in history, it looks pretty nice. Skiing in Montana is open for business this 2012 - 2013 season!
