issue 03olympiC leGaCy 2014 was always destined to be a massive year for freeskiing; olympic debuts for slopestyle andhalfpipe would mean mass exposure for the first time, along with increased national and commercial funding. freesking was an instant hit at sochi with its ecclectic mix of athletes and fresh approach. back home we followed every bit of action with the highest expectations and while the weather wasn’talways willing to cooperate, the riders never failed to impress.

but where do we stand now the circus has left town? in this issue we dig a little deeper into some of the issues surrounding sochi, in order to see what kind of legacy we can really expect. we ask ‘what is freeskiing?’, take an alternative look at the event calendar and talk about injuries. in our online season we take a look at the sport from a female perspective, find out what it’s like to be a British team coach and catch up with an olympic judge.

only time will tell exactly what the olympic legacy is for freeskiing. but one thing is for sure;with the worlds eyes now firmly fixed on the freeski scene it is down to each and every oneof us to help show off our sport the way we would like it to be seen.

ON THE cOVER

this was one of my favourite shots from the whole winter.. the picture is a double exposure shot on Kodak 200 ASA film, with a Pentax ME Super camera. The roll of film already had a bunch of landscape images on there before i rewound it back into the canister and left it alone for a couple of months. a few rolls of film later, I then reloaded it to shoot some portraits over the top in the hope of capturing a wicked double exposure.

One of the joys of shooting film is you’re never 100% certain of what your image will look like until it’s been developed and it’s an excitement that never goes away. this particular shot worked out perfectly. it captures one of the many stunning views to be found in the bow valley and a portrait of my good friend and fellow photographer patrick reid.

what isfreeskiing ?

words by adaM spensLey

“what is ‘freeskiing’?” it’s not a question i’d given much thought until recently, but in the wake of the olympics it’s one i’ve seen asked several times. prior to sochi my colleagues and friends knew i spent my time skiing but most had no more understanding of what i actually do than, ‘sort of like snowboarding, but on skis’. now they have a reference point, the olympic halfpipe and slopestyle competitions.

suddenly interest in my ‘other life’ grew and the questions started. but to me and many others, those events and competitions in general are a poor representation of what freeskiing is all about. To explain what freeskiing actually is, I find myself looking back at its roots.

the traditional story is that ‘freeskiing’ was born out of frustration at the constraints placed on mogul skiing by the fis. skiers found themselves skipping training to poach what were then snowboard parks, in order to push their limits. these pioneers imitated how snowboarders used the mountain and adapted their tricks to fit skiing. In doing so, the new ‘sport’ of freeskiing was born.

“freeskiing is so Much More than the events

the worLd saw at sochi earLier this year”

and the story is true, for a given value of truth. the new Canadian airforce, jason levinthal, Candide thovex and countless others were doing something revolutionary. they were creating a new style, new tricks and new ways of performing the act of skiing. it is from their revolution that the olympic sports of halfpipe and slopestyle stem.

will wesson of traveling Circus and many others argue that no competition, including halfpipe and slopestyle, can be considered freeskiing. Competition, by definition, requires judgement and such judgement prevents those events from being truly free. furthermore, now that the competition circuit is regulated by the fis, it can be argued that competitions have come full circle and are little different from the moguls and aerials events that freeskiing broke away from not so long ago.

others would counter that since halfpipe and slopestyle incorporate the style of skiing created by the early freeskiers, and given that there are no official regulations on tricks, these competitions remain true to the core ideals of freeskiing. regardless, it is undeniable that those competitions are only a small part of a far bigger whole.

that whole includes park skiing, urban skiing, backcountry, backcountry freestyle and big mountain skiing. yet skiers have always left the piste to explore the mountains beyond. the hot doggers, the forefathers of mogul and aerial skiing, also created new ways of skiing. indeed there was skiing long before there were pistes to leave. those pioneers were just as free as the freeskiers of today, arguably more so. so is freeskiing really anything new?

jason levinthal, the godfather of modern freeskiing, takes issue with distinguishing freeskiing from any other skiing. in a recent interview he argued that “the word freeskiing is dumb, it’s just skiing. every time you call skiing something else, you’re saying that skiing isn’t good enough for you, i am not a skier, “i’m a freeskier!”. this needs to stop, when was the last time you heard someone say i’m a freesnowboarder?”.

he does have a point, but to me the name is not the issue. freeskiing is completely different to clicking into a pair of skis and making your way from the top of the lift, via three restaurants, to the day’s apres ski offering. it is just as different to racing, ski jumping and langlauf, though they all require skis as a basic tool. bmx and mountain biking distinguish themselves from road cycling through names and calling what we do freeskiing as opposed to skiing is no different.

to freeskiers, skis are the paintbrush to the snow’s canvas. that canvas can be the backcountry, a snowpark or a city street. Ultimately freeskiing is creative freedom on skis. It’s the first tracks down a new face, a new trick on an urban rail or a backcountry jump. it’s countless other things that haven’t been thought of yet.

freeskiing is a feeling and at its heart is an age old spirit, the spirit of freedom. it’s that rush you got when you were six years old, first launched off a bump at the side of the piste and felt like you were flying. Its essence is freedom so it’s impossible to define, but when you’re doing it, you’ll know.

imaGes. taylor seaton enjoys showinG off to the Crowds in les arCs.

the event scene has changed a lot over the last few years; x-Games used to be the one big event that everyone was shooting for, but fast-forward just a few years and

the olympic rat race means that nowadays it’s a very different matter.

today every event seems to focus on rankings, points and qualifying for this or that. in the past there used to be a bigger presence of rider and media

organized events, but so many of these have either changed beyond recognition or fallen by the wayside in recent years. the Candide

Invitational and Jon Olsson Super Sessions are just two high profile examples.

watching those events while growing up was inspirational and has shaped my vision of skiing today. if i had never watched

sammy Carlson’s 2008 joss edit featuring nate abbott’s photography, i wouldn’t be a photographer and i wouldn’t

be sat here writing this article. so what has been their downfall?

b+e inventationaLthe art of coMpetition

words and photos byharry fosket t & rob eMbLing

yet there is hope for the future. in 2013, henrik harlaut and phil Casabon launched a new event. something unlike anything seen in skiing before. the b&e inventational aimed to give riders a different experience to the usual competition format. the innovative setup was designed by the pair to include a mix of verts, trannys and bowls and it would all be judged by the unique collection of invited riders; just the way it should be.

“we all feel like we are loosing the roots, the creativity and the very basics of our sport,” says event organizer and olympic judge, raf regazzoni. “here we have some of the original pioneers, true legends and newcomers all shredding together in a totally new format,” he added, pointing to the changes he wants to see in more events. “the course was a first for all of us in terms of shaping and it was a big challenge. It took 200 hours of snowcat time, 15 days of shaping and over 20,000 cubic meters of snow, but in the end we managed to create something pretty cool.”

imaGes. b-doG & e-dollo both destroyed the Course they dreamt up whilst playinG host to a mix of the worlds best stars.

perhaps we are simply going through a changing of the guard; have the older guys who used to host these events moved out of the spotlight and been replaced by younger skiers who still don’t quite have the leverage to host an invitational? maybe the calendar is just so packed with afp and fis contest obligations that there simply isn’t enough time? or could the answer be as simple as money? are companies choosing not to fund these events because they don’t provide as much exposure as say, the x-Games and olympics? honestly, i can’t tell you for sure but whatever the reason, it sucks.

- Chris LoGaN -

“the setup was just crazy, they never normally take the time to shape something as complicated as this,” Gpsy feelin’s leo taillefer told us after the event and every rider i spoke to seemed to agree. la familia member ahmet dadali was blown away, “you’re making your way down and you can choose to do whatever you want, picking a bunch of different lines. it’s probably the coolest thing i’ve ever seen. invitationals aren’t like competitions, they’re more about just hanging out with friends and skiing with guys you wouldn’t get a chance to usually, it’s awesome!”

as a spectator the whole event was something else, i have never been so excited to watch skiing; the mix of features, the riders’ styles and the general atmosphere were all rad. “you need to mix things

up. keep shit fresh and different,” says Chris logan. “the same two-run format, with the same rails and four jumps in every contest is getting old. you see the same dub 12 high mutes every run and

it’s becoming less enjoyable to watch. the inventational was completely different in the best of ways, it had no real contest feel, just a fun environment with no pressure and no feeling of

winning or losing.”

post olympics, our sport is now recognized on a bigger stage than ever before. at the same time it’s becoming more profitable and of course there are companies and

organizations trying to take advantage of that. but i hope that by showcasing our sport to the public through events like the b&e inventational, we can show newcomers to

freeskiing that it’s about so much more than training and gold medals.

after two injuries in quiCk suCCession and narrowly missinG out on the olympiC parade, peter speIght is forCed to onCe aGain CheCk himself baCk into rehab.

interview by harry foskettphotoGraphy by harry foskett

in the build up to one of the most anticipated ski seasons of our generation, pete speight was well on track to qualify for the olympics. But in our sport there is a constant risk of injury. Combining high speeds, massive jumps and rock solid landings can lead to devastating consequences. i met pete at his gym in manchester, where he is currently recovering from his second major injury of the season, to find out how it feels to get so close…How did it feel to just miss out on the Olympics?it was obviously really disappointing. it was tough to have worked so hard towards something and then fallen at the final hurdle, but I tried not to let it get me down too much. a broken collarbone is a relatively minor injury; it’s just that the consequences were huge in my case. i just focussed on getting back to full fitness as soon as possible

32RIDER’S INSIGHTPETE SPEIGHT cHEcKS INTO REHAB

and just tried to take on board all the experience i had gained from the last year in the run up to the olympics.Watching from back home on the couch must have been tough?it was a little tough, because i wanted to be there so much, but it was still brilliant to watch. it’s great to see everyone you know and i was stoked with how well they all did. after competing with them all year, i know how much hard work they have all put in. the slopestyle was the standout event for me; definitely the highest standard comp that i’ve ever watched. You managed to recover from the collarbone pretty quickly, what happened after that?i’m lucky to have such good support. i was able to come back from the collarbone injury really quickly and i was back on skis at the end of february. i went out to kühtai for the ski test and spent a bit of time in the domes, before heading out to breckenridge. i ended up having a really good month skiing in march, relearning all my tricks and starting to progress again but unfortunately it all ended in another injury.It must have been devastating so soon after the first injury?It’s definitely been the toughest year of my skiing life for

“THE TALENT POOL IN THE UK IS PRETTy ImPRESSIVE, SO

THERE’S NO REASON NOT TO BE SUPPORTING IT.”

sure! the knee was really hard to take after just coming back from the collarbone. at the time i was so gutted, i just wasn’t expecting to get injured again. three months on though, i’m feeling a lot calmer about the situation and the rehab is starting to progress. you have to move on quickly and the light at the end of the tunnel is always there. How are you dealing with the injury in terms of rehab?i’m really lucky to have had so much support through both of these injuries. i’ve got physios provided by tass, the

university of manchester and british ski and snowboard, and they have all been amazing. the rehab for the knee is really intense, four or five hours a day. It’s going to be a long summer, but almost everyone i know in skiing seems to have gone through serious setbacks at some point. most of the british team have already been through it so there are a lot of people to seek advice from. mostly it’s pretty positive so i can’t see a scenario where i don’t come back. Looking ahead, what are your plans for this coming season?i have a lot of plans for the future, but right now i’m taking it one step at a time and trying to focus on getting myself back to 100% fitness and strength. I should be skiing by december. i’m going to try and hit up a couple of world Cups, some of the opens and possibly the world Champs if i can make it back in time.Looking further down the line, is the 2018 Olympics your main goal now?Yeah definitely, the 2018 Olympics has always been a

big goal of mine and missing out on sochi has made me more determined. i’ve got a load of other goals that i want to achieve, lots of different tricks and comp results, but mainly i’m just aiming to push my skiing as much as i can. i’d love the chance to compete at the dew tour or the x-Games, so i can go into the olympics at the top of my game.Recently there has been a lot of talk about funding, can you shed some light on the situation?i think overall the situation is positive, it has just been

announced that there is going to be extra funding for the park and pipe programme. that can only be a good thing for british skiing and snowboarding. the olympics has brought a lot of enthusiasm and exposure for the sport and a lot of people have worked very hard to help get the funding through. it’s a controversial area but you just need to look at how well freestyle skiing did in the olympics and the backgrounds of the athletes. the talent pool of freeskiing in the uk is pretty impressive, so there’s no reason not to be supporting it. personally i’m very excited, the extra support makes a massive difference and hopefully some of it will filter down to the grass roots, which could lead to even greater success in uk snowsports.

“THE ExcITEmENT OF GETTING THAT FIRST ROLL OF FILm DEVELOPED WAS ELEcTRIc AND FROm THEN

ON I WAS HOOKED.”

just over a year after first piCkinG up a Camera, davId WreN headed out to banff in searCh of that one maGiC shot.

words by davId WreNphotoGraphy by davId WreN

for many of us, the call of the mountains is one we can’t resist. the adventure, the experience and countless friends are just a few of the reasons we make the annual pilgrimage to experience alpine life first-hand. For me, documenting the experience through a camera was second nature.

my photography started from relatively humble beginnings in october 2012. unable to ski or skate after returning from my first year in Canada with an injury, I somehow convinced my mum to lend me her 35mm SLR. More specifically, a Pentax MV1, an aperture priority only camera, with 28mm, 50mm and 70-300mm lenses. i was hoping it would give me something creative to do whilst injured and thereby keep me sane. as anyone who has used a film camera will understand, the excitement of getting that first roll developed was electric and from

37IN FOcUSIN SEARcH OF POWDER WITH DAVID WREN

then on i was hooked.the excitement never really wore off and from that

day i’ve barely left the house without a camera. i started shooting action sports as soon as i could and straight away, i knew that it was exactly what i wanted to do. the following year i barely put my camera down, spending the winter learning how to shoot skiing and snowboarding at domes and dry slopes, then concentrating on skating & wakeboarding as the summer rolled around.

before i knew it, winter 2013 was fast approaching and the thought of heading back out to Canada was becoming more and more exciting. i spent the winter working as a lifty at sunshine village in banff and taking pictures of anybody who’d let me during my lunch break or on my days off. the talent in the banff area is pretty

imaGe. soft City Creations

awesome and i got to shoot with lots of local riders who were all willing to work hard for a sick shot or video clip. this somehow led me to landing my dream job as the resort photographer and filmer, which opened up loads of new opportunities for me.

as with anything, it comes with its down sides, like watching your buddies skiing all the lines on a pow day, or the freezing temperatures and howling winds that make you question what compels you to risk frostbite just for a photo. then there are the times where you have to put yourself in harm’s way so that you can get absurdly close to the action with a fish eye. This is when

WeBsIte www.rwnd.ComfaCeBook /rwndphotoGraphyINstagraM @rwndphotoGraphytWItter @rwndphotoGraphy

you have to have trust in your riders and start working together. most people think it’s mad and maybe it is, i still can’t pin-point one real reason for doing it. but it’s worth it when all the patience pays off and you get that one magic shot that gets you stoked!

over the last year i have drawn inspiration from loads of different places. there are some incredible photographers out there who really push the limits of what is possible with a camera and the images they create are truly beautiful. Guys like frode sandbech, matt Georges, andy wright & dean blotto Gray are pushing those boundaries and get me excited to pick up a camera.

i also love the work of portrait and fashion photographers, the way they use subtle lighting, a clever choice of clothing or an interesting location to get the desired look. i really admire that eye for detail and try to bring that to my own work.

for me, there’s something very satisfying and exciting about freezing a moment in time and making it forever memorable. i can look back on the past couple of years and i’ve got a play by play of all the crazy antics my buddies and i got up to. it’s exciting to imagine where i’ll be this time next year but i’m sure that wherever it is, if i have a camera in my hand, i’ll be happy.

“IT’S REALLy INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THINGS HAVE

DEVELOPED AND HOW mATERIALS HAVE cHANGED

ALONG THE WAy”

we Got a little more than we barGained for on a reCent trip out to west london to visit terry Bartlett and his own personal ski museum.

words by harry foskettphotoGraphy by harry foskett

Founded in 1965 as a hiking, walking and camping shop, bartlett’s didn’t stock ski equipment until the owner, Terry, began his skiing experience in 1975. Since then the shop has grown in size and status, to become arguably the best independent ski shop in england today.

over the years, terry has become fascinated with the history of ski equipment. “it’s really interesting seeing how things have developed and how materials have changed along the way,” he says, whilst showing us one of the first skis to have a metal edge on it. terry has been collecting skis for over 30 years and boasts a collection of around 200 pairs.

as terry shows us more, he explains the evolution of ski bindings, from the primitive leather straps to the first bindings with release mechanisms, DIN settings and

41THE cOLLEcTORSA qUIcK HISTORy LESSON WITH TERRy BARTLETT

brakes. it’s easy to see just how passionate he is about the history behind each and every piece. but his collection doesn’t stop there; as well as skis, he has been hoarding boots for years and owns one of the earliest leather ski boots and the first ever plastic ski boot, designed by Lange.

terry’s favourite ski however, is kept safe at his house. “it’s a true antique,” he explains. “it was made by a local farmer and they must have found a branch exactly the right thickness and literally cleaved it in half. it’s rough sawn on the top and just has a leather binding on. it’s just so primitive and it’s amazing that it has survived.”

although terry has a collection to marvel at, there are still a couple of pieces that he wants to get his hands on. last year scott released a new ski called ‘the ski’, based on a design by bobbie burns. “in the 80’s bobbie was one

WeBsIte www.skibartlett.Co.ukfaCeBook /skibartlettINstagraM @skibartletttWItter @skibartlett

of the original hot doggers,” explains terry. “he wanted a ski that would do everything, so he developed a shape that worked really well for tricks, moguls and basically everything else. scott loved the ethos behind the ski so they asked bobbie if they could use the same retro graphic design for their updated version. i’d love to get my hands on a pair of the originals,” terry tells us.

the depth of terry’s collection really shows off the progression of skiing equipment over the years and for anybody wanting their own quick history lesson, the shop is always open.

Recent innovations in technology means ski equipment is better than it’s ever been before.

Ski boots are much more customizable, as plastic shells can now be heat moulded and shaped to the lumpsand bumps in your feet. Have you improved since you bought your current boots?

Are they still comfortable making you reluctant to upgrade them? A pair of custom fitted boots will be more comfortable than you can possibly imagine

and give better performance than your old ski boots ever could.

Have your skis seen better days? Can you ski everything you want to? Skis have now become much more versatile and user friendly helping you to ski in all snow conditions.

If you choose the correct ski shape and ability level, you will see huge changes in your progression and enjoyment.

Come and visit us today to ensure you have the correct advice from experienced equipment specialistsbefore you invest in your next pair of boots and skis.
