The small village has preserved the old ski mountain culture and way of life. The local hospitality was incredible and the terrain was unbelievable. The boys rolled into some of the deepest conditions Alagna has seen in over 10 years. • Red Bull Surfing – Mentawi Islands: In a world first for surfing, a group of pro surfing’s star names and hottest new talent were brought together for this ground-breaking event. This was the first time World Champions, explosive young talent and current World Title contenders shared cabin space aboard the surf charter ‘Indies Trader IV’ with a group of specialized performance coaches. Athletes include Jordy Smith, Mick Fanning, Julian Wilson and other top surf talent. • Dean Potter: First "FreeBASE" ascent: One of the most revered climbers in the world, Dean Potter attempts the first ascent without ropes on one of the most difficult faces of the Eiger. With only a small parachute marking the difference between success and a near certain death Potter once again pushes the limits of climbing on one of the world’s most challenging peaks. •The Canadian Freestyle Ski Team Preps for Vancouver 2010: WOAS gets up close and personal with the Canadian Freestyle Ski Team at their practice facility in Quebec City as they prepare for the 2010 Winter Olympics. •Columbia Sportswear Pioneers: Extreme Unicyclist: Dan Heaton isn't a regular in the sports section.

Whistler Blackcomb is on the hunt for 20 of the most mountain-loyal male and female competitors in the region for the first ever Whistler Blackcomb Opening Day Pass-a-mania, to be held in the 24 hours preceding Opening Day. Not one, but two season passes are at stake – one each for the top male and top female competitor – and the opportunity to ride the gondola first, on Opening Day. It’s easy, really. All you have to do is compete in a 24-hour battle of wits and attrition through more than 15 epic challenges. Win the challenges to win points. Get the most points and you’re skiing free this season.  When not competing in challenges, participants will be confined to a PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola Sky Cabin stationed at the base of Whistler Mountain. With 20 people in such close proximity for 24 hours, will love blossom? Will pet peeves be ignited? Will our competitors succumb to the dreaded lack of sleep? You’ll want to head over to Whistler Mountain’s base on Opening Day to find out.  In order to get a shot at the gold, head to www.whistlerblackcomb.com , accept the rules and regulations and fill out the application form by Thursday, November 10. Then, Whistler Blackcomb will randomly select 20 competitors - 10 male and 10 female - to participate in Pass-a-mania.  It is up to Mother Nature to determine Whistler Blackcomb’s Opening Day. If the snow flies, this contest will throw down as early as 8 a.m, Friday November 20 or as late as 8 a.m. on Wednesday, November 25. The day before Whistler Mountain officially opens, all 20 contestants will gather at the Whistler Village Gondola to begin their 24-hour crusade to the top. At the end of the competition, the male and the female with the most points will ride the first gondola up with the option of bringing along three pals each for the ride. All participants will have the chance to win a number of prizes, and will be able to bypass the lines and head up the gondola, right after the winners and their friends, on Opening Day. Interested?

The 9 avalanches caught 10 people. Of those 10, 3 were partially buried with their faces above the snow, and 2 fully buried or their faces were covered by debris. October 5, 2009. Mount Meeker, Rocky Mountain National Park The first avalanche incident occurred on October 5th on Mt Meeker in Rocky Mountain National Park. A small slab broke loose about 6 inches deep and 40 feet across and took two climbers on a short ride. The avalanche ran on the first pitch of the Dream Weaver alpine climb, on the east side of the prominent north buttress of Mt Meeker. The first pitch ramps up to 50 degrees in some places. This route can see significant cross-loading deposit any fresh snow as slab at several areas along the route, though primarily at the first and last pitches. October 11, 2009. Grizzly Peak, Independence Pass A narrow escape occurred on October 11th on Grizzly Peak south of Independence Pass. Three skiers remotely triggered an avalanche in a steep, northerly facing couloir. The avalanche fractured about 40 feet below the second skier. It broke down to rocks and summer snow, taking out the two to three feet of recent snow. The crown was estimated at 45 degrees, and the avalanche ran from near the summit to the lake, about 1200 vertical feet. October 17, 2009. Tyndall Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park An incident occurred on October 17th on the Tyndall Glacier in Rocky Mountain National Park. A skier triggered a two foot deep, 200 foot wide avalanche that ran over 200 vertical feet. The skier took a ride and was not buried. Again, the slide took out all the recent snow drifted onto the permanent snowfield underneath. The slope angle at the crown was estimated at 35 degrees, and it was on an east-northeast aspect. October 23, 2009. Jones Pass An incident occurred on October 23rd near Jones Pass. A skier triggered an avalanche and was caught mid-slab. The crown was about 80 feet above him, 2 feet deep, and 50 feet wide. The skier was taken for a ride, avoided rocks and cliffs, and ended up with only his legs buried. The slope was above treeline with an east aspect, and the snowpack was highly variable. The party had noticed some cracking and one whumpf on the ascent. October 25, 2009. Flattop Mountain, Rocky Mountain National Park There was a third incident was in Rocky Mountain National Park on Sunday the 25th. The slide was skier triggered on Flattop Mountain on a run known locally as the Hourglass. The second skier down the couloir triggered the slide. It was on a north aspect around 12,200 feet. Initially the crown was 4 inches deep but stepped down another foot. Initially the shallow crown was about 100 feet wide but propagated to about 150 yards wide. The skier suffered a few bumps and bruises and some lost gear. Of note with this slide, there was no old summer snow field at the bed surface. October 25, 2009. Loveland Pass Another incident occurred on Sunday the 25th. A skier triggered a soft slab on a hard ice crust or possible summer snow field on an east aspect near 12,000 feet on Loveland Pass. The crown broke about 40 feet above the skier. The crown was about 20 feet below a corniced ridge, about 40 feet wide and 20 inches deep on a slope estimated between 35 and 40 degrees. There was very little debris, not enough to be buried by the slide after the skier rode and tumbled about 150 vertical feet. October 25, 2009. Apache Peak, Indian Peaks While ascending two skiers triggered and were caught in a large avalanche on Apache Peak on October 25. They had skied the line the previous day. Disappointed they had not skied from the summit, they planned to ascend farther and ski a longer run on the 25th. They ascended into the narrow, 40 to 45 degree couloir. They became nervous when they found an 18 inch deep hardslab with a icy crust. In between was a thin layer of facets. They triggered the avalanche at that point. The avalanche caught both and carried them about 1000 vertical feet. One skier was completely buried, the second buried with just a hand free (partially buried critical). The second skier was able to clear the snow from his face and dig himself out. Battered and exhausted, he began a beacon search once free. He quickly located his partner and cleared the snow from his face. Both sustained minor injuries and returned to the trailhead on their own. October 27, 2009. Missouri Mountain A party of hikers intended to summit Missouri Mountain. Worsening weather turned them back. They glissaded down a narrow couloir. As the couloir opened, one hiker triggered an avalanche. The hiker was caught and "rode it down for perhaps 300 feet. Luckily I was able to stay on the surface and never came close to getting buried, but it was scary nevertheless." October 31, 2009. Bartlett Mountain, Fremont Pass A party of three ascended the lower angle west aspect and north ridge of Bartlett Mountain. They dropped into a steep northeast to east facing couloir. The first skier was 2 to 3 turns down when the slope avalanched. The crown was 1 to 2 feet deep and only 15 feet wide at the top, but widened out to 75 feet part way down the couloir. There was an icy layer on the bed of the avalanche. Towards the bottom, the slide entrained deeper snow and left many exposed rocks. The skier was buried to his neck and injured. The other two were able to excavate their friend and call out on a cell phone. Flight For Life evacuated the injured skier.

Enjoy.   We knew we wanted to stand out, really impress the local community, and of course draw attention to local businesses and riders, so we decided to do more than just show a movie – we talked and talked and chose to put on some sort of exhibition. We decided on a single feature rail jam after having to jump through seemingly infinite hoops (liability insurance and stuff like that can be huge if you’re planning one of these events).   Red Lodge Mountain was monumental in getting the event to actually happen, and they custom built and delivered a beautiful rail for us!  Everyone was stoked on that. We used a front loader tractor and a huge dump trailer to gather and move snow.  It turned out to be 70 degrees up here on Halloween so we were a little worried about how well the snow would hold up - we were actually thinking about running up to Beartooth Pass to get more but at the end of the day we ended up with the perfect amount.   DJ Web was killing it on music patrol and we started sessioning!  There was a good crowd cheering the riders on and just creating a great vibe, and everyone was getting super pumped to go watch Re:Session.  The Ski Station brought us some great swag to give out as did Red Lodge Mountain and TGR.  We hit the rail until we were totally beat and couldn't wait any longer to watch the movie.  Everyone crammed inside The Red Door, had a word from Wiley Miller and 4FRNT Skis owner Matt Sterbenz, and cheered on as pro riders mystified us on the two huge screens.  It was a great Halloween: jibs, pro riders, swag, sick movie and good people.  See you next year!

Even though it got up to 70 degrees on Halloween, we ended up with just the right amount of snow for our Halloween session.

We used a front loader tractor and a huge dump trailer to gather and move snow.  It turned out to be 70 degrees up here on Halloween so we were a little worried about how well the snow would hold up - we were actually thinking about running up to Beartooth Pass to get more but at the end of the day we ended up with the perfect amount.   DJ Web was killing it on music patrol and we started sessioning!  There was a good crowd cheering the riders on and just creating a great vibe, and everyone was getting super pumped to go watch Re:Session.  The Ski Station brought us some great swag to give out as did Red Lodge Mountain and TGR.  We hit the rail until we were totally beat and couldn't wait any longer to watch the movie.  Everyone crammed inside The Red Door, had a word from Wiley Miller and 4FRNT Skis owner Matt Sterbenz, and cheered on as pro riders mystified us on the two huge screens.  It was a great Halloween: jibs, pro riders, swag, sick movie and good people.  See you next year!
