When the weather warms and the contest season ends, the pros focus on building the best jumps and jibs possible. In this episode the Salomon Team takes things to the next level at Mt. Bachelor and Timberline, Oregon and Whistler, BC.

In the Queyras Valley time seems to stand still. We follow a group of locals who harness the wind with their speed-flying kits to chase untracked powder all winter long.

Ski

Chuck Patterson is a former pro Freeskier, a professional Waterman, and one of the most fearless humans we’ve ever met. After a brief experiment with skiing on waves several years ago, Chuck’s passion for the idea was re-lit after watching Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend ski the waves of Maui in 2009. In January 2011, Chuck followed the biggest swell of the year to Maui, to see if he could see if he could successfully ski Peahi or ‘Jaws’ – one of the most powerful waves on earth.
