Monday. The most dreaded day on the calendar, or is it? For the masses Monday means leaving the glorious weekend behind and returning to the monotony of school, work, and “real life.” While I definitely am not stoked to go to class in 30 minutes and discuss the reading I forgot to do, I can log on to NS and see the flood of awesome new photos and videos from the weekend.

If anyone is on one (as they say) this season as far as skiing in-bounds goes, Idaho native Sander Hadley is the prime candidate. Basing his campaign out of Alta and the mountain's jump-laden Wildcat chair in particular, Sander has been absolutely demolishing natural jumps, hand-drags, tree taps, backflips, nosebutters, stump bonks, and all kinds of other airborne nonsense in Little Cottonwood Canyon whether there's soft snow on the ground or not.

I'm going to date myself by saying this, but I Feel Ghood was one of the first edits that I watched religiously after becoming a freeskier. It doesn't feel like that long ago at all, but in my defense it was (almost) five years ago. And looking back on it now, in the afterglow of freeskiing's inauguration on the world stage in Sochi, it seems like it's been an eternity.

Armed Pro Edit Battle: Bear vs. Bear

It should be considered a small cultural victory that Bear Mountain - snowboarding's most hallowed grounds as well as center of goofy summer/winter hybrid fashion - has come out with its own dedicated ski web series...

The Olympics have been shoved down our throats since this last weekend. Coincidentally enough, down in Tahoe we had our first major storm of the year last weekend and are at least looking like a mid-season snow pack. Here are some thoughts on the Olympics, mountains, winter sports, and the inherent value behind them all.
