I A.M. Winner for February

The February I A.M. winner did more than sum up the essence of what it is to be a gnarly Alpine Meadows freeskier, he gave us a first person view of it. Andrew Thomas blew us away with his I A.M. Wild submission! And for that he gets a two night stay at the Resort @ Squaw Creek to spend some time schraping and making more videos @ Alpine Meadows.

He also blew us away with the other videos he sent in. Looks like Andrew hit Alpine for the first time on new years and spent some of the day in the Shredows.

Apparently his real love is steep jagged rocks and deep fluffy powder. Nice timing on his part hitting Tahoe on an amazing snow year! Andrew and his helmet cam have had some good times on the mountain!

Check out Andrew’s video and freeskiing handiwork on Vimeo! Thanks for shredding Alpine Andrew!

Telemark Freeski Festival Final Results

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:41:42 +0000

It was a great 4 days of shralping with Tough Guy Productions @ Alpine Meadows. We had over 60 competitors in the Telemark Freeskiing Competition on the Keyhole Friday and Saturday. Even the guys from Powder Whore were impressed.

Competitors went BIG, picking tough lines through Keyhole and throwing down killer tele turns. In the end the best men and women won, and the rest of us drank not a few beers

Thanks to all the competitors, volunteers and spectators for making this one of the coolest events of the year for us again. And thanks again to Tough Guy Productions for putting on another killer Telemark event!

TOUGH GUY COMP UPDATE

Mark Sanders — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 17:49:53 +0000

Hello Schralpers! Greetings from the Uber Shralp Zone of Alpine to bring you closer to one of the most anticipated events this year! My name is Mark Sanders; I will be providing music and the voice at this year’s Tough Guy Productions Telemark Freeski Competition, held on the Buttress. Qualifying will be held at the Great keyhole Face. The Buttress is open and has provided some fine conditions, where Keyhole in not quite there. The features are BIG at both venues so prepare YOURSELVES for huckness. The snow pack is solid with a grippy layer of filth mainly on the North facing slopes. More snow is on the way kids, so stay tuned! We’ve got some great sponsors on board with more to come which will increase the prize purse and the swaggles. See ya on the hill!

Telemark Freeskiing Championships @ Alpine Meadows: The Movie

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:18:36 +0000

You may have noticed a lot of skiers at Alpine Meadows zipping around with nothing attaching the heels of their boots to the ski! Don’t worry. That is “normal” and nothing to be afraid of. Us freeheelers, knee-droppers or telemarkers, can scralp with the best. And to prove it we rounded up the best Telemark Freeskiers within striking distance of Tahoe (some from as far as Montana) to take their best run through some awesome snow on the Keyhole last month.

We had over 25 competitors in 4 categories ripping all over Keyhole for the Telemark Freeskiing Championships on Friday and Finals on Saturday! We had skiers shooting Marhenkins chute way on skiers right, dropping flips off the castle in the center and picking super gnar lines down Keyhole 1 on the left.

Check out the results of the race here and check out the helmet cam footage from Mike Abarno’s cliff huck. Get your knee dropping chops warmed up for next year with the $159 unlimited spring pass and start dropping the knee down some of the sickest drops in the Tahoe Basin. And if you want to try Telemark Skiing, one of the few rental shops with telemark gear in tahoe is @ Alpine Meadows.

Free your heel – free your mind!
