It's official. Colby James West has signed a long term four year contract with Elan Kastle Skis. Sounds like he is going to help develop the freeski program that as of now is still in proto. I am stoked to see what they come out with and I guess 2012 SIA will be the place to do that. Colby will be a great asset to Kastle and should help them spring into the market with legit product. The only issue I have is that we won't we able to touch skis for the next 18 months. I guess we will need to watch for Colby rocking something new in competition throughout the rest of the season.Watch Kastle Skis Welcome Colby James WestFollow Colby on Twitter, @colbyjameswest

T Is Back With The ?Tanner Hall Collection? (THC) Webisode Series

I have personally been overly critical of Tanner Hall for the past two years. After watching the award winning documentary, Like A Lion, I have had to take a step back, admit that I was wrong about him, and re focused on the good that Tanner has brought to the sport of skiing. I am stoked that he is back on skis and at a higher level than I would have expected. He has had to battle through a lot of life to get where he is today. I am proud of him for giving skiing another chance. The first webisode of the Tanner Hall Collection (THC) was just uploaded on Thursday night and it is a banger. Tanner's new online media outlet, InspiredMedia.tv, is going to be the place for fresh and moving content for the 2011 / 2012 season. The first edit features Tanner, Sammy Carlson and some friends in the Utah back and side country. ESPN reports that future webisodes will document T's adventures to Retallack and Alaska.
