It’s that time of the year again. Everyone that is something in snowboarding or freeskiing is flocking to Aspen, Colorado for the yearly X Games (26 to 29 January). It’s the most prestigious competition you can win in skiing and snowboarding. Period. The athletes are hungry and as always very excited to see the slopestyle course.

Slopestyle is just one of many disciplines at Winter X Games 2012. Big Air and SuperPipe are the two other major desciplines.

Tanner Hall used to be king of the pipe. He might not be ready to give that title up just yet – judging from this recent video of him riding the super pipe in the Three Kings Terrain Park at Park City Mountain Resort.

Australian pro skier Russ Henshaw has been skiing in Whistler recently. The weather was pretty bad, so he has mainly been perfecting his rail skills. Check out this little edit of both him skiing and Charles Beckinsale snowboarding the Habitat Park.

We just received this video with good vibes from SuperparK in Champéry Les Crosets, Switzerland. The park is open. Go shred!

Bobby Brown is back again today with a nice video of his run all the way through Keystone’s A51 Terrain Park.

Go for a run through one the best parks around at this time of the year – Park Lane in Breckenridge, Colorado. Pro skier Bobby Brown showcases the park with a never ending line of seemingly perfect kickers, rails, and boxes.

Val Thorens is a popular ski resort in the huge 3 Vallees area in France. The whole area offers an incredible 600 KM of interconnected slopes and 180 ski lifts. Wow!
The local snowpark in Val Thorens has grown a lot in recent years and is now right up there with the best parks in France. We got the chance to hear more about the park straight from the source. French shaper Romain Dujean is part of the team that designs, builds, and maintains the park. He lets us in on what Snowpark Val Thorens is all about and what it takes to be a park shaper. Imagine waking up every day just to go up to the snowpark and hang out all day. Sounds like a dream job, right?
