  • Volcom "Open Air" episode two - Into the Silverton Backcountry


    Wish that was you?

    The second round of footage from Cheryl Maas' winter last year is out and ready for your eyes to see. After being followed and filmed for six months Cheryl is starring in the series "Open Air" and brings her shred experiences last season to the public.

    Episode two shows Cheryl as she embarks on a trip to the Silverton backcountry with heavy hitters Kimmy Fasani and Hana Beaman. All in all, this chicks are beasts. Not in a women's softball kind of way - in a big mountain riding kind of way. Double backflips, massive powder slashes, and amazing bluebird conditions, the crew couldn't have asked for a better trip. Watch the ladies get after it below and if you missed Episode One, watch it HERE.

  • 20 Things you don't know about me: Kimmy Fasani

    Kimmy Fasani charges. Plain and simple.

    Whether in the backcountry or the park, this Mammoth native accomplishes whatever she sets out to do. Her dedication and drive are palpable and each season she pushes progression for herself and for the sport as a whole.

    Last season, Kimmy filmed full-time with Standard Films and boasts one of the only female parts in this year's highly anticipated TB20. Her historic part includes one of the first double backflips ever to be stomped by a female.

    She was also named Ms. Superpark Standout for her tireless efforts, courage and consistency at Snowboarder Mag's Ms. Superpark. This earned her an invite to the men's event at Mt. Bachelor, where she stepped it up and sent it right along side the dudes.

    While you may have known some of this, you most definitely didn't know any of this. Kimmy Fasani checks in with latest edition of 20 things you don't know about me.

    Take it away Kimmy!

    1. Happiness, positive people, good friends... These are all essentials to a good life.

    2. I am an outdoor addict... I love biking and hiking in the summer, and in the fall I spend countless hours in the gym making sure my body is tuned up for the winter.

    3. Mountains are my life- any mountain, anywhere and I'll be wearing a smile.

    4. My fiance, Chris Benchetler, is my favorite skier. He has taught me so much about the backcountry and has been my rock through all of life's twists.

    5. The Olympics are a way to celebrate our passion for sports with every country around the world.....I secretly wish I could make the 2014 US team for slopestyle.

    6. Cooking and cleaning are two things that calm me down and make me happy! Weird I know!

    7. My favorite snowboard trip of all-time was filming in the Whistler backcountry last season with DC teammates Devun Walsh and Iikka Backstrom.

    8. Summer is my time to regroup, workout, and get a tan. This year has been mellow and I have just been biking and hiking a lot in Mammoth... but my upcoming 2 months are a little hectic though. I will be in New Zealand at the end of August with DC. I'm getting married in September, heading to Africa for my honeymoon, and then it's premiere season.. then winter again!

    9. I am inspired by the riding styles of Devun Walsh, Nicolas Muller, Iikka Backstrom, Jake Blauvelt... Those guys have a natural fluid style that just makes snowboarding look fun and effortless.

    10. Snowboarding for a living is a dream come true.

    11. This year I learned how to do double backflips in the backcountry and park. This trick was so mentally challenging and so fun at the same time.

    12. When I'm not snowboarding, I love soaking up the sun on a beach in any tropical destination.

    13. If I wasn't a pro snowboarder, I'd probably be doing something in medicine... Possibly a doctor or nurse.. I'm amazed by the human body.

    14. I tend to be impatient when it comes to getting things done, when I want something, I try to make it happen immediately.... The snowboarding lifestyle has taught me a lot about going with the flow, being patient and not rushing things.

    15. When I am snowboarding my shuffle is usually mixed with Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Rolling Stones, Tupac, and maybe some Britney Spears.

    16. I'm hoping to stay healthy and focus my energy on filming in the backcountry again this season.

    17. I don't like spiders. I get the chills when I see one.

    18. If I am trying a trick that's been a challenge to dial in, I typically find one song that keeps me focused and put it on repeat until the contest or film session is over.

    19. I've had too many injuries to list. Broken pelvis and dislocated elbow- Those were painful!

    20. In the spring of 2010 I accidentally burned my snowmobile down in the Whistler backcountry... That was embarrassing.

  • Roxy Powder Jam 2011 winners

    The Roxy Chicken Jam might seem like it was ages ago but after the storm that decided to take over Mammoth and the event - Roxy still had an entirely different contest to judge.

    With slopestyle getting completely axed due to zero visibility and high winds - the riders were instead provided with a GoPro camera and told to get some epic footage with what Mother Nature was giving them - loads and loads of powder. When provided with the option of park verse powder - I'm hoping most people would get stoked on the latter as much as these chicks did.

    The winners of this video contest have been announced and the esteemed title of the Roxy Powder Jam winning team goes to Ty Walker, Erin Comstock, and Kimmy Fasani. While Erin Comstock and Kimmy Fasani have been in the snowboard world for quite some time and have been steadily killing it - Ty Walker is one of Roxy's youngest team riders at 14-years-old. This being said, Ty Walker took home the top individual prize of $5,000 after cleanly stomping a cab 540 into waist deep pow. Big things ahead for this little lady. The winning amateur team was made up of Mariah Dugan, Natsuki Sato, and Michelle Zeller.

    Since the contest was all-around out of fashion, Roxy also gave a bonus prize away for the most entertaining footage which went to Torah Bright, Chanelle Sladics, and Celia Miller. This may be solely based on the fact that they got a hold of a cupcake and smashed it in Todd Richards face during an interview with Trouble Andrew.

    Alright, that's a wrap. Wonder if next year's event can out do this one. Check the footy below:

  • Kimmy Fasani lands double backflip


    Kimmy scoping the landing.

    Oh, the backcountry. How we love you. Nothing like the ability to huck yourself and stomp a trick that would otherwise scare the living shit out of you. Massive landings, soft powder, and a perfect take-off is a recipe for one damn good day with your friends.

    DC rider Kimmy Fasani got her backcountry moment last week in Colorado after she found the perfect jump, charged it, and went for a double backy; turning "a long-term goal into reality" and became arguably the first female ever to land one.

    Riding with the guys will do that to you; adrenaline, motivation, and people charging all around you will inevitably cause you push yourself more than you ever have and attempt ballsy stunts such as double backflips. Congrats to Kimmy for being one bad ass chick.
