Video 2: B-Dog Off the Leash – Street Skiing Contest

This video playlist is about the "B-Dog Off the Leash" Street Skiing Contest, which offers an hour of the finest street skiing with 64 entries. Not everyone will be able to relate to this radical, urban skiing, but the riders put their heart and blood into this discipline - with the emphasis on blood.

If you don't know B-Dog this is Phil Casabon's character, considered one of the best street skiers of his time, offering a tribute to his favourite discipline with this contest. The diversity and creativity of the riders, who show their tricks in often extreme and risky locations, make these films a unique experience for anyone who is enthusiastic about the limits of street skiing or would like to take a look.

Video 3: FIFTY+ The Hunt for New Classics - Northstar Couloir, AK. Ep 1 - Cody Townsend

After six years of tracking the 46 lines from "The Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America", Cody Townsend is now launching a personally inspired list of classic ski routes.

FIFTY+ includes more than just 50 classics. In each episode, Cody joins guest skiers, climbers and adventurers on expeditions to backcountry lines that are evaluated using criteria such as aesthetics, ski quality and climbing difficulty. The question: "Is it a classic?"

Episode 1: The Northstar Couloir
The journey begins in the Northstar Couloir at Alyeska Ski Resort in Alaska. A 16-kilometre approach and 1,800 metres of vertical drop lead to this iconic line. Together with Elyse Saugstad, they embark on a multi-day expedition full of difficult decisions, avalanche hazards and a "sufferfiest" to ski this Alaskan icon.
