Northeast Skiers on Tour: Brennan Severance
It was nearly ten years ago when we first ran into our good friend Brennan Severance (aka “The Leather Booted Ripper”) while sniffing out a nice powder stash somewhere along Vermont’s Long Trail. Since then, we’ve enjoyed countless ski adventures with Brennan across the northeast U.S., on Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula, Alaska’s Kenai and in East [...]
Solstice, Skiing and Sauna
We made the most of the shortest day of the year by enjoying fresh tracks in some higher elevation, off-piste terrain that’s been tempting us for days, and by enjoying a nice wood-fired sauna with a few friends. The warmth and light of the sauna soothed our souls and recharged our bodies. And now, with [...]
Old School, Off Piste and Balloons
Here’s something a little different…cool footage captured by Warren Miller, featuring off-piste skiing in the Austrian Alps back in the early 1960s. You’ve got to love the soundtrack! And check out the faceshots the third skier in the last scene gets – at approx. 1:28… Enjoy!

“Skiing on Stones” – Sylvain Saudan Shows Us How It’s Done
Former French extreme skiing pioneer, Sylvain Saudan – also known as “the skier of the impossible” – trained for his extremely challenging and oft-unrepeated ski descents in the French Alps and in the Himalaya, by skiing down snow-free mountainsides. Aside from the training element of this kind of skiing, it seems clear that Saudan was [...]

Alta Presents: The Rope Tow Wedgie!
Jonesing for some fresh snow here in the northeast, we came across this priceless video footage while looking for footage of the recent big dump the Wasatch. We hope the skier, who thought he need to straddle the rope, instead of grabbing a hold of it with his hand, has fully recovered at this point.
