Featured Image: Courtesy of CDOTLast weekend on June 15, a large landslide covered U.S. Highway 6 on Colorado’s Loveland Pass in 15 – 20 feet of rock and snow. Colorado Department of Transportation crews got to work on the mess and have quickly reopened the iconic route. This was no small undertaking, utilizing seven tandem dump trucks continually hauling 92 tons of mud and silt down from the accident site at 12,000 feet.

Featured Image: Courtesy of Beau-James WellsSurrealist freeskiing is a wild, enchanting and growing subgenre of art in our niche culture. As The MET describes on their website, surrealism is a movement that strives to, “release the unbridled imagination of the subconscious.” We have no idea if this is what the Wells brothers have been attempting to do, but it’s certainly what their recent projects have accomplished.

Featured Image: Chris Hocking | Skier: Drew Jolowicz | Location: Mount Hotham Australia is known for many things. Kangaroos, spiders, surfing and one rather large opera house, but if you don’t think of skiing when you think of the Land Down Under, it’s time to change that. A big storm rolled in from the south and smothered the mountainous regions of the country, dropping over 27 inches (70 cm) on several ski resorts. This was just the kick many ski areas needed to jump-start their 2025 ski season.

Featured Image: Courtesy of Mt Hutt Ski AreaIt’s been a wild start to winter 2025 for Mt Hutt, New Zealand. After announcing a historically early opening day, the resort was hit with several days of warm temperatures, causing the accumulated snow to rapidly deplete. But things are changing for the better on the South Island. A large storm made landfall this weekend, bringing with it ample precipitation and cold temperatures. “90cm… sounds about right.
