Winter X is coming!

Filming for Real Snow, Winter X Games

Only the first to do so are remembered. David Wise and the other insanely gifted athletes of the super-pipe are stoked to drop jaws. From January 23-26, Aspen will play host to those that go big. I know that the Olympics are soon to follow, but damn if the X Games don't get the first word. After the super-pipe, real snow is one of my favorite events. Athletes get to film themselves on their home terrain doing what they do best on the daily. Peep their amazing videos here. Big ups to the extraordinary athletes who truly push the envelope. Those of us on the left coast are dying for snow. To the shredders who actually have powder, thanks for inspiring. If the snow doesn't fly, you should. In the meantime, check out Deja Vu to get your wintry fix.
