Whistler Part 2 - Freeski TV #18

In this episode, rapper "All-Star", leads you through the 2009 season for the Salomon Team, and you get a quick look at what we're working on for Season 3 of Salomon Freeski TV. This is the final show of the season. Thanks for the support and we'll see you in October.

On this week?s show we check in with Simon Dumont to see how his 2009 season is going, and learn what he?s got planned for the future. Simon?s past few months have been marked with both triumph and tragedy. Hear the real story from the man himself.

Some of the best photos come from the places you'd least expect. In this episode we travel to Tennessee, Ste. Foy, Whistler, and West Virginia, in an effort to explain the story behind the photo. This episode has it all: powder, air, and some of the funniest stuff we filmed all year.

We jump on the bus and follow Kaj Zackrisson and Cody Townsend as they tour the Alps in the mobile Big Mountain Freeskiing contest known as the Swatch O?Neill Big Mountain Pro.

In an effort to do the final round of testing on Mark Abma?s new bamboo ski ? The Shogun ? Mark, Cody Townsend, Kaj Zackrisson, and Laurent Niol venture to the the southern part of Chile for a sled-skiing mission into an untapped part of the Andes.

Sure you?ve seen the X Games, but not like this. Mike Douglas takes you on a behind the scenes tour of X Games 12. From production meetings to the judges stand. From the parties to the commentating booth. This is the side of the X-Games you never get to see.

Proving once again that you don’t need to live within 1000 KM of a real mountain to become a great skier, we head to Spirit Mountain, Minnesota for Salomon’s Jib Academy event. Local groms matched up with Salomon team members, including Simon Dumont, to put on one of the best displays of park mastery ever seen in the mid-west.

Mike Douglas, Mark Abma and Kaj Zackrisson push their limits in Valdez Alaska. Hold your breath as Kaj skies away from breathtaking a crash.
