Lorne, Grand Envers

Who said winter was over?  There’s still some decent skiing to be had in Chamonix at least, as Boax Clothing founder Lorne Cameron proves in the photo above, taken this week on Grand Envers by Graham Pinkerton.

With the Aiguille du Midi the only remaining lift running, battling the crowds of Japanese tourists is inevitable and hopping glacial streams and scrambling up the ladders to exit the Mer de Glace is unavoidable.  But considering it’s the middle of May, it’s still worth a trip for some late-season turns in spring snow.

Some touring should be on the cards for the next couple of weeks, and with rain in town last night there should be some fresh snow to find up high.

Boax Clothing team rider Mario Wanger: Isenseven shoot at Solden

Just a little late-season stoke for you all.  We just got an update from Boax Clothing team rider Mario Wanger, fresh from his first kicker shoot with the Isenseven film crew in Sölden.  Check out some photos in this blog post at TheDjudes.com and look out for some shots this autumn!

Well here it is, the long awaited teaser for Candide Thovex’s new movie, “Few Words”.

We have been a fan of Candide’s since his early days, from 16-year-old X-Games competitor, to pipe dominator, to Freeride World Tour overall winner and beyond. Surely one of the most well-rounded yet understated skiers in the industry, and with the filming for this two year project drawing to a close we’re eagerly anticipating the full release this autumn.

Will this be another two-year let-down à la Seth Morrison’s “The Ordinary Skier”? Or more over-the-top heli porn like “The Art Of Flight”? We’re betting neither. And with Boax Clothing team member Skye Darden heavily involved in the project in logistics and kicker shaping, you know this will be high on your list for films to watch out for in 2012.

Boax Clothing: Snowflakes t-shirt/hoody

This design inspired the whole range this season.  After a popular debut last year we updated it to a two-colour design and slightly different pattern, made up of the Boax marque falling and piling up with one Boax logo hidden amongst it..

Available in 100% cotton men’s t-shirts, women’s t-shirts, men’s hoodies, men’s zip hoodies and women’s zip hoodies, all featuring embroidered X logo on the reverse plus Boax hem label. Limted quantities of some sizes & colours remain, so don’t hesitate too long!

The 10th annual Vans Wängl Tängl went down last week at Boax Clothing team rider Mario Wanger’s home mountain of Mayrhofen, Austria.  As with previous years the Penken Park crew laid on some amazing new features and the comp took a head-to-head team battle format.  Mario’s local team – The Djudes – only made it through a few rounds of competition but Mario was stoked on his run including back-to-back 1080s, both frontside and backside.  Check the edit.

Boax Clothing: Patrick Hollaus, cork 3 tailgrab (Kitzbuhel)

Just a quick shot and update from Boax Clothing team rider Patrick Hollaus, back riding stronger than ever this winter:

“Riding super good right know, kickers are perfect, everything is amazing!”

Amen.

We’re not in the habit of regurgitating content that has been posted extensively across the web, but this film makes a very worthy exception.  Missed by many this winter, 2011′s full length film “While We Can” by Andreas Olofsson & Imaginary Trace documents the current state of freestyle skiing, with input from the riders on the ever-present tech-vs-style debate and some words of wisdom from Boax Clothing‘s own Skye Darden on the current competition & judging structure.  The film is definitely worth a watch even if you aren’t a freestyle skier, or a skier at all.  Beautifully edited, this really stands out from the normal format of in-your-face films being pumped out recently.
