We’ve been busy dealing with our adult lives this week and not checking Vimeo for the hottest new edit, so as a consolation prize to end your week, let’s see what some Scandos have been up to.. a month ago. Chris Helberg still puttin’ faces on melt status in 2012.

If there’s one thing to look forward to and keep you from killing yourself this summer, it’s probably the fact that Candide’s movie, “Few Words,” is coming out in the fall. JAH BLESS AND JAH PRAISE!!!

Hello nerds… we wanted to take this chance to send a big con-grat-u-lations to one of favorites and one of the most under-hyped skiers in the scene, Erik Olson, for his picture on the Newschoolers homepage today. I hope those of you who appreciate our sarcastic take on life can appreciate the great irony/beauty of Erik casually hand-planting the landing of one of skiing’s most infamous battlegrounds of up-the-ante-ism. Those of you who think we just like to complain will not.
To celebrate, we’re re-printing a sought-after how-to Erik posted in the Line Skier’s Union years ago about how to cut grape vines off an old barn. Enjoy!
Removing wild grape vines from barns
Tools: Heavy duty branch trimmer / clippers / 40 foot extension ladder
Method: Start the attack at the source of life. Use the branch trimmer and disconnect the vines from the ground based anchor points. Proceed to remove all visible anchor points. Use the ladder to reach and then detach highest vines. Next, you should begin to peel the vine net left to right. (or vise versa) As you peel, more points of anchoring will be revealed. ( you may have to use clippers to expose these areas) Continue until large portions of vine net can be pulled down. Continue this method of peeling, clipping, and pulling until the majority of the net is down. Afterward you will use the ladder and trimmer to clip and pull off remaining vines that maybe be scattered on the barn. Lastly, clean up your mess and put away your tools.

In case you weren’t paying attention, skiing in the worst possible conditions is really trending in the underground ski scene right now. Thank god the folks at Marquette Backcountry Ski have made a product specifically for skiing on not bottomless powder. At only 140 cm’s long and with plastic edges, TGR mags might balk at them, but in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where the skis are made, skiing on shit rules the day. As evidenced by the above video and the review on Ski The East, they rip pretty well on patches of snow between much larger patches of grass, which we all know if the future of being cool on skis. So at only $189 and with plenty of tiny patches of snow and lots of mud left to shred this season, what are you waiting for?
