Central Oregon downhill bikers rejoice; the best lift-accessed downhill trail in Bend opened for the season on July 23.

Mt Bachelor Bike Park will officially open Redline on Thursday at noon, after a rainstorm Wednesday night primed the dirt for opening day.

Compared to Bachelor’s other trails, Redline takes a little extra work to open for the season. Trail crew has been setting up irrigation, which has to be taken down and set up at the start and end of each summer, and fixing parts of the trail that tend to require more maintenance due to erosion and rockfall caused by it’s grade.

With beautifully built jumps, a handful of ‘choose your own adventure’ rock features, and a grade that makes keeping your speed easy, Redline is a favorite of many.

The trail was completed in 2019 by local trail building company, Dirt Mechanics, with help from professional trail builder, Kyle “KJ” Jameson of Black Sage Dirt Works. It is rated as an expert trail, but luckily, it’s also super progressive.

Mt Bachelor is hosting several events, including a brand new one, on Redline later this summer. 

On August 13, Lady Laps will take over Redline for a women’s-only evening on the trail. All women-transgender, cisgender, non-binary, and femme-identifying folks are welcome. 

On August 22, Moon Booter Madness will take place on the hallmark jump at the bottom of Redline, and give riders the chance to showcase their skills in a jump jam. The top three riders in each category will earn their spot at Redline Rally, which takes place on August 29. Redline Rally is an invitational-only event that features the best local riders showcasing their best tricks.

For a town that has a significant amount of cross-country riding, Bend has a sneaky epic freeride scene. 

There are more than a few local pro-riders in Bend who usually make an appearance at Redline Rally, including skier Sage Cattabriga Alosa, who also absolutely shreds on a bike. While these events are a surefire time to see folks go big on Redline, if you ride the trail enough, odds are you’ll see someone backflip the Moon Booter on a casual lap every so often. 

Although these days, I spend a lot more time on a gravel bike than a mountain bike, Redline is the trail that gets me excited about riding the bike park again.

While I’m certainly not tricking (or clearing, let’s be honest) Moon Booter, working in the bike industry has introduced me to a few friends who do, and riding laps with them is always a good time.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.

In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.

The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.

Every now and then, Mother Nature offers a reminder to skiers, mountaineers, and climbers: when you’re in the mountains, you’re merely a visitor, and I’m the one calling the shots.

Photographer Tori Harp captured one such moment, filming a big avalanche triggered by collapsing ice on the Kaufmann Glacier in New Zealand.

“As the glacier moves under the force of its own weight, it advances until it meets a vertical cliff face,” Harp explained in her post. “Gravity then takes over, sending hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ice, snow, and rock crashing down in a dramatic collapse.”

“While this happens regularly, today’s event was particularly powerful,” she added.

The Kaufmann Glacier splits off from the Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest glacier.

Located in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, the Tasman Glacier—also known as Haupapa—was named for Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer. Several geologic features in New Zealand have two names, one European and the other, like Huapapa, being Maori. The name Huapapa describes the glacier’s ice. 

You can, in fact, ski there. Alpine Guides, a guiding outfit, offers ski trips up the glacier using helicopters. 

As Harp pointed out, collapsing ice and resulting avalanches aren’t uncommon in these kinds of alpine environments. 

Glaciers are in continuous, albeit slow, movement, which, according to NASA Earthdata, causes stress. That stress leads to cracking and eventually blocks of ice cleaving away from glaciers. 

Or, in other words, the ice and rock that make up glaciers and mountainous peaks are in flux. And when bits or pieces fall away, they can trigger pockets of snow, creating avalanches. Mountain climbers manage these risks through careful route selection and other measures, but traveling in exposed areas includes some inherent, unavoidable risk. 

In other cases, this ever-changing state of geologic affairs can impact ski resort operations. Last winter, a significant rockslide near the famed Peak Express at Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, led to the chairlift’s temporary closure. 

As for Harp, her adventures in wild areas like the Kaufmann Glacier have resulted in some stunning shots. You see more of them here.

Aside from a few exceptions, the ski season in North America has come to an end. Instead of skiing, we’re biking, climbing, and doing whatever other hobbies best distract from the fact that, yes, there are three to four months before winter begins anew.

But that doesn’t mean that in other corners of the northern hemisphere, skiers aren’t still getting after it.

Recently, the high-flying Swede Jesper Tjäder stopped by Skistar Trysil, a Scandinavian ski resort that builds an impressive array of park features for use during the warmer months. 

While there, Tjäder put on the kind of show he’s known for, laying down a dizzying array of rail combinations with some airtime for good measure.

If you’re not into the POV angle, Tjäder also shared some clips filmed from afar. 

View this post on Instagram

This summer, Trysil planned to have the park open for two windows: June 26 to June 28, and July 3 to July 5. The ski resort also hosted a summer camp with another professional skier, Birk Ruud. 

Beyond Trysil, a few other European mountains offer skiing after the snow stops falling. One hotspot, Zermatt, Switzerland, houses the highest and largest summer ski area on the continent. And it’s not just groomed trails. The slushy Snowpark Zermatt features jumps and jibs, drawing crowds of freestyle skiers looking to add a postscript to their winter. 

For Tjäder, the visit to Trysil wasn’t the first time he’d dusted off his skis this summer. Last month, alongside other pros, he attended the Scandinavian Team Battle in Copenhagen, Denmark. The unique competition takes place on the flanks of a powerplant that, with artificial snow, doubles as a year-round ski area. 

In the battle, Tjäder took second alongside his teammate and fellow countryman, Oliver Movenius.

Forget Madison Square Garden or private Italian islands, the biggest wedding of the summer happened on a ranch in California’s Sierra Valley.

Sure, there weren’t velvet ropes or paparazzi hiding in the bushes, but there were plenty of dusty cowboy boots, rusty tractors, and enough ski industry heavy hitters to make it feel like the world premiere of an A-list film.

The nice thing about rubbing elbows with ski celebrities is that they don’t act like entitled VIPs. They’re hardworking guides, photographers, athletes, and filmmakers who’ve spent years crossing paths in remote refugios, airport terminals, parking lots, and trailheads.

Once you put them all in an old barn with a stocked bar and a dance floor, you’re sure to have a good time.

The Night Before

Before the wedding, there was Denim Night. With everyone dressed in their most creative jean-themed outfits, it looked like an après party wandered onto the set of “Yellowstone.”

During the speeches, Todd’s brother wasted very little time before reviving a tradition of having the couple chug beer out of their ski boots. As foam dripped down her chin, Amie quickly confirmed, “My Atomics are stiffer than Todd’s Armadas.” 

With varying degrees of success, Amie and her close friend attempted to turn skiers into line dancers. It turns out skiing powder and dancing in unison require completely different skill sets. Then Gabe Schroder hopped on stage as his alter ego, Super G, putting a country spin on his classic ski raps.

The Main Event

After Todd stoically walked down the aisle, Amie arrived on horseback. The horse, appropriately named Cowboy, was a little grumpy. “It was the first time a bride with a wedding dress had ever ridden him,” Amie said. “Luckily, I didn’t get bucked off!”

Longtime ski photographer Liam Doran officiated the ceremony. Years earlier, he had led a photoshoot in Revelstoke where Todd and Amie first met. His important role in their ceremony served as a reminder of how small the ski world is.

After the (lengthy) first kiss sealed their vows, attendees headed across the open meadow to the reception, where bartenders from the legendary Slot Bar took over, and the McConkey Spatula shot ski started making rounds. A classic chuckwagon-style dinner on the lawn followed. Later, in the barn, Todd and Amie’s first dance to “Stand By Me” was followed by one of the weekend’s biggest moments.

During the highly-choreographed father and daughter dance, Amie’s dad (former pro skier and photographer Jeff Engerbertson) managed to launch her into a backflip. Which, as it turns out, had its own set of challenges. “I have a very torn meniscus that I’ll have surgery on in a week,” Amie said. “And my dad sustained serious injuries in January when he was smoked by a snowmobile while working at X Games.”

From there, things progressed exactly as you’d expect they would when you add a couple hundred skiers to a rustic dance floor. After the live band played their encore, DJs took over with the raucous scene, eventually morphing into a late-night silent disco. 

One rumor from the evening remains unconfirmed, with nobody wanting to see the evidence firsthand: apparently, someone danced so hard (in assless chaps, no less) they lost three toenails.

The Guest List

Shortly after the ceremony, Cody Townsend was seen catching up with JT Holmes.

Sammy Carlson wandered by, and Olympian Daron Rahlves wasn’t far behind. Among others, McKenna Peterson, Griffin Post, Lexi Dupont, Dash Longe, Molly Armanino, Connery Lundin, and Elyse Saugstad were all there too.

Even a very pregnant Michelle Parker was onsite serving as an official wedding photographer with her husband (and award-winning action sports photographer) Aaron Blatt. 

Then there were the people responsible for making many of those athletes famous in the first place. A long list of photographers, filmmakers, and storytellers who have documented skiing for decades were scattered throughout the crowd, including Adam Clark, Tom Day, Ming Poon, Chris Whittaker, Hank de Vre, and the guys from Sweetgrass (Mike Brown and Zac Ramras).

There were so many familiar faces that it became easier to stop keeping track. It felt like an industry party from the old SIA days, except everyone had traded hoodies for western wear.

It’s A Small World

The easiest way to describe the weekend is to call it skiing’s version of a celebrity wedding. A more accurate description is that it felt like a community reunion.

When you spend enough winters chasing powder, eventually everyone crosses paths. A film trip turns into a friendship. A chance encounter in the lift line leads to a lengthy text chain. Or, in the case of the newlyweds, a photo shoot in Revelstoke turns into a marriage a decade later.

“Our biggest hope was to give all the wonderful people in our life a chance to meet each other,” Amie said. “It seemed like that happened.”

For one weekend on a ranch in Northern California, the ski world’s biggest names united to raise a glass in celebration of their friends, Todd and Amie.

Which, as it turned out, is skiing’s version of a royal wedding.
