Red Bull Rampage is wrapped and our recaps will hit it hard. This is a historic year for Rampage as it’s the first year the Women have been invited to participate in what’s widely considered to be the pinnacle of freeride mountain biking. Robin Goomes etched her name into the history books with TWO huge backflips to take first place. Brandon Semenuk pulled his Rampage out of the first, stomping a perfect run after hours of delays and a disappointing first go. First place in the clutch for the 5X Red Bull Rampage champ. Women’s Podium: Robin Goomes 🥇 […]

So far, Noah has skied for 645 hours this year and still claims to be enjoying the sport. Here are some examples of things you could do with 645 hours: If you made the federal minimum wage of $7.25, you would have earned $4,676.25. We really need to work on that […]

One last storm for the season knocked out all of the power around the King Pine area but who needs electricity? We didn’t.

The Forecast With global warming and climate change making themselves known, there is no surprise mother nature has us on the naughty list this year. Giant dose of coal stuffed […]
SNO-GO Has Lost Their Dang Minds The people at SNO-GO have decided that because they’ve proven they have a safe, effective, and fun way to get down the hill, they should be allowed on the resort. Who goes to a ski resort to have fun anyway? By taking a bike, putting skis on it, and cruising down the hill, SNO-GO has ruined skiing for everyone, and they might have even ruined biking. It’s far too beginner-friendly. I had some time on one of these, and in one day I was able to navigate through the mountain in a controlled manner […]
