Backcountry.com Athlete Shaun Raskin finds some deep snow following a series of thaw, rain, and finally big storms.  At the opening of 2013, in her latest episode of Life Unbound, she’s declares “powder is back.” (“But for how long?” you might wonder: Protect Our Winters.)

Backcountry.com Athlete Cody Barnhill cut together some of his greatest hits from the 2012 season, mostly riding Alta, Snowbird and some spots in British Columbia. It’s shot in a sort of lo-fi style that will have you wondering when Instagram broke into the video market, and there’s some POV stuff that will set you free.

Backcountry.com Athletes Ian and Neil Provo head to Alaska for their Steelhead and Spines adventure: riding spines and fishing some of the best steelhead runs in the world.

Mission Antarctic, starring Xavier de Le Rue and Backcountry.com Athlete Renan Ozturk is underway. Xavier was in Antarctica four years ago as part of a Swatch expedition, and this time he’s bringing Renan (who only had three days of downtime following his Oman expedition) for some video/art input.

Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner heads to Valdez in the latest episode of Roner Vision. He bags some great lines and skis where no one’s ever been before (except, he aptly points out, the cameraman who’s filming him). Then he takes a terrible fall and ends up in the hospital with a broken femur, but you’ll find that the guy’s spirit is incredible. Get well soon, Erik!

Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner made his way to Haines, Alaska to shoot for a Teton Gravity Research film with Seth Morison. See some sweet pow, learn a bit about defecating on a glacier, and perhaps you’ll even be a little bit entertained.
