Austin Ross: A Ski Blog

Heading home

En route back to Pemberton.

Currently I’m in Revelstoke and while it hasn’t snowed much in a few days we’ve been finding some fresh lines in the slackcountry. If you haven’t been I highly recommend visiting this awesome ski resort. Two chairs with no lift lines and great skiing make it one of my favorite places to shred.

3rd Place @ Wrangle the Chute, Golden BC

It was off to Kicking Horse Resort this weekend for Red Bull’s “Wrangle The Chute” contest. The competition is a combined score of a big mountain line, into a gap jump, finished off with a ride on the bucking bronco (a barrel with a saddle and four bungees that the other competitors crank on to throw you off). I placed third. The idea was original and the relaxed atmosphere and good skiing conditions made the contest really stand out. I’ll definitely be back next year. Thanks to everyone that made it happen!

I took advantage of the good light and was able to get a few hikes in between inspection and the comp runs. Kicking Horse has some great terrain that’s easily accessible from the Stairway to Heaven chair.

Ski'd a few lines in this part of the contest zone.

Raw footy from Revelstoke

Some POV skiing. Warning: I just threw some clips together over a song, there’s no fancy editing.

Whitewater, Nelson BC.

Here are a some shots from Whitewater Resort in Nelson, British Columbia. Special thanks to Doug Lepage for being kind enough to take us ski touring for the day. The moon was shining bright and full overhead as we made our untracked descent in the pink alpenglow. Can’t wait to get back there. Cheers!

On the road again

Hit the road with my two best friends and ski partners, Cody Haggard and Pierrot Bernier. We decided it would be nice to enjoy a change of “skinery” while the Olympics are setting up shop in our home town.

“An Epic Life” video trailer

If you’re lookin for a little entertainment check out this trailer for a video project called “An Epic Life.” Late last summer I had a cameraman follow me around to some of my favourite off season activities in Whistler, BC. This is a very early version so there are a few things we need to tweak. Please feel free to leave comments with feedback. Thanks!

I’ll embed a movie when it’s possible but for now please visit this link to see the edit:
