Suck on this: Mark McMorris Flies Private!

Come and swing above the heavens in a PJ with the Olympic bronze medallist…

Eighty percent of the world turn right when boarding their commercial jet. If y’got any length in your bones, you’re screwed. Wedge yourself into seventeen inches of cushion. Eat re-heated scum and drink wine so cheap the homeless will spit it back into your face.

But the world ain’t egalitarian.

Some are lucky enough to hit the left indicator and bask in pampering and service so slavishly servant-like it was once reserved only for sheiks, sultans and princes. Mr Mark McMorris, a twenty-four-year-old Saskatchewan, has always enjoyed the charmed life.

He has dated Coco Ho, one of surfing’s hottest athletes since 2013. Her nickname for Mark is Sparky.

And Mark, not content with regular travel has found an elitist edge of his own. The joy of the PJ. While the claustrophobic cabin, sub-par seating, and turbulence susceptibility might leave something to be desired… the sheer convenience and added elitism of private jet travel puts it a cut above.

Mark’s jet of choice is the 2001 Citation Excel. Seating for eight, a range of 2000 nautical miles and a cruising speed of four hundred-plus knots. Three gees an hour, if you’re interested.

Or three-ish mill to buy your own low-mile version.

Stroll through the cabin below.

Buckle up.. Stampede time🤠⚡️

Daughter of Korean Immigrants Lands Front 1260!

Ain't nothing delicate or fragile about the outrageous and persistent Chloe Kim.

The Olympic gold medallist, Chloe Kim, who just turned eighteen, is a first-generation Americano, the kid of Korean immigrants.

Chloe is also the first woman to nail a front 1260, three-and-a-half spins if your nervous system collapses at numbers etc. At spring camp at Mammoth in May, Chloe says she ate up three days practising the trick and “seven to ten” tries before she rode out of one.

Chloe says she ain’t one for air bags. All tricks on the snow. Ride out or die, so to speak.

Watch!


Hacked: Thanks a lot Burton Russia!

We've been down! But we're back! Or at least back-ish!

Your fifth favorite snowboard enthusiast website has been down for days due to some troubled backend issues most likely being ok’d by the Kremlin/Burlington.

And thanks to that nefariousness this is what you missed!

By the wonderful Muzzey.

Longtime Jackson scene-builder Jeff Moran is hosting an event with the Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club tomorrow night that will bring out a heavy roster of local luminaries to talk about all things snowboarding; Travis Rice, Bryan Iguchi, Cam FitzPatrick, Blake Paul, Hana Beaman, Willie McMillon, Rob Kingwill, Mark Carter, Mikey Franco, Lance Pitman, Jack Hessler, Alex Yoder and Halina Boyd will be on stage, talking story, and fielding questions from the audience.

If you’re in town and want to hear firsthand from some of snowboarding’s most relevant and respected voices, head over to the Pink Garter Theater.

Son of a bitch.


Merry Christmas from us to you!

Blessings on all!

Oh please forgive the lack of content here this week… we are still, officially, in a soft launch period but are almost ready to really fly! In the meantime, very Merry Christmas to all and may the Snow Miser visit you soon!


Watch: The most creative end ever!

Sami Luhtanen takes his skillz to the water park!

I was scrolling through my Instagram feed just yesterday, killing time, creeping, when I stumbled upon Halldor Helgason’s post which read:

Faaawk Mr @dr.luti Just Dropped One Of the Heaviest Street Parts Of The Year 👊🏼👑🍻🌶(Link In My Bio)

And fist bump, crown, beer pepper? Of course I had to click!

And Sami Luhtanen did not disappoint! Oh I can’t post the video here because it seems exclusive to TransWorld but it is so worth going right here to watch.

But I must spoil the ender for you. Young Sami takes his skillz to a water park and shoots down some slides!

Does it look fun?

No!

Does it look deadly?

Yes!

Watch today!
