New year's 2017 brought lots of snow to the west. Thiss first storm of the year was described as an "overachiever". Here's Icelantic athlete and team manager Scotty VerMerris getting amongst it at Alta on the new Nomad 125
Icelantic athlete Owen Leeper checks in with us about how good skiing has been over the holiday in Jackson with pictures to prove it.
Christmas week in Jackson Hole - 48" of snow since monday, Jackson Hole skiing was the best of the year this last week.
A huge storm struck the west this week. Mountains and cities from the Northwest down through the central Rockies are getting pummeled with snow. So what did we do in this situation?.. We made an early morning departure from Evergreen, CO to chase down the white stuff in none other than Steamboat. We found even more snow and less tracks than expected and are still thawing the ice from around our shit eating smiles.
Check out the photos from the past few days! We've been here for 3 days and it has snowed a foot every day on top of two feet that fell previously. Is this El Nino??
Owen Leeper is not insane, he's calculated and he's one of the strongest skiers you'll ever see. Check out his season edit skiing on Icelantic Skis. We are proud to have Owen be part of the team. Check out this jaw dropping edit that just dropped!

Sheregesh, Russia... After two weeks of straight travel we arrive in Sheregesh, Russia where it has snowed four feet over the past week. By morning, an additional six inches of snow had fallen and the sunrise marked my twenty-fifth birthday. A small Asian man in a taxi van picked us up at our “hotel”. His gold covered teeth were complimented by his high-energy personality. He screams “America!!” at the top of his lungs a dozen times as we pack our nine pairs of skis into the small vehicle. The single lane road leading to the mountain is grid locked...
Some called it "The storm that saved the season!" It sure was nice to get substantial totals last week. Thank you Ullr may we have another! Check out a couple runs from an infamous day in Little Cottonwood Canyon....
Showing up to a whole new venue for Powder Week was a trip. Looking up at this gnarly mountain, a different one Lone Peak was already for something different. Of course opening ceremonies were full of lively energy, kinda like...
