If there's one thing we can say about our boy Lee Swassing is that the homey can send... His skiing last season was absolutely ruthless! Full-on, cranked way past 11! But on-point, nonetheless... Although he can make some really beautiful turns, it just so happens that 95% of our footage of Lee is of him sending 40 footers... #TribeUP "RUTHLESS"!

"Why do you want to take it to the level of 'extreme? Why does human nature drive us to push it to the limit? What type of extreme technique to you need to become extreme? What is extreme skiing?!" -Chuck Mumford (American Ski Actor/Motor Sports Enthusiast) Dive into the controversial topic, and take it to the limit with Chuck, OWA, and TanSnowMan, as they go "Extreme Turbo", or as some call it, "E.T"...

"You know, even though I've skied half way around the world, I've somehow managed to ski the same chairlift for most of my life. It's not that I don't like other chairlifts. And it's not that I don't like hiking. It's just that this is home. It's where my heart lives. And no matter how hard I try to leave, my heart keeps coming back. The Skyline Chairlift will forever hold its place in my heart. And now I have the honor of giving that gift to my son..." - Panda Chief TanSnowMan Skyline Chairlift.

After several years of below average snowfall, and last year having one of the lowest snowpacks in the history of the western U.S., it's easy to become discouraged by skiing's potentially detrimental future. And if you pay attention to the news, it's easy to feel that the whole world is falling apart. However, there are those of us that believe that regardless of whether the first day of the season gets rained out, or it hasn?t snowed in weeks and there is dirt showing everywhere. Or even if it seems like the whole world is going crazy, the mountain is our temple, and every joyful jump and turn is an expression of our heart, and a prayer for world peace... May we present to you, Part I of III of the Panda Poles Season Highlight Reel 2K15! BELIEVE!

Emotions run high this time of year. And so do expectations. And whether it be because power goes out to the whole ski area on opening day, or it ends up raining to the top of the mountain on the very next, the love of skiing, and the convenience of being swept to the top on a floating chair creates the illusion that anything less is pretty much painful. So when the power does go out after 3 glorious laps on opening day, and when the rain does reach the top of the mountain on the very next, it?s important to remember that this is just the start--just the warm up--to what can only be another amazing season on the snow?

Part I of the 2016 Panda Poles Season Highlight Reel, this is "Shred The Rock"! Filmed entirely on GoPro Hero 4 and iPhone 6. The Panda spirit is a gentle soul. Although they could so easily shred flesh, they choose to mostly shred bamboo. However, such as with the balance of black and white, there are moments when the Panda spirit is placid, and yet there are times when the Panda fire comes alive! It is in these moments that the Panda spirit chooses to shred that of snow and rock... Panda Poles Bamboo Ski Poles @PandaPoles #PandaPoles www.PandaPoles.com
