Ah, how they grow: what just yesterday seemed a gangly, pimply and socially awkward ski event called the West Coast Session has quickly matured into a full-grown, hairy-chest man event. What’s become Mt. Hood’s signature spring park skiing session is back for a third year, and it’s bigger and better than ever.

Presented by AMPLID and Newschoolers.com, the West Coast Session gathers 25 of the world’s top young park skiers for a four-day film and photo shoot on the unique creations of the Timberline Lodge terrain park crew, documented by a group of equally talented guys behind expensive lenses who will capture all the action for extensive event coverage on Newschoolers.com.

Over 70 competitors came out to the event in good weather & soft snow to see who would walk away with the first victory of what will surely become one of the signature events to that you’ll want to mark on your calendar.

A Dope Beat to Stepp to …

Recently, I was informed that I have passed Steve Stepp on the NS karma scale. I felt pretty bad about this because: 1) I didn’t know people still used karma and 2) I didn’t know exactly who Steve Stepp was other than being a skier from PA.

My guilt lead to curiosity which then lead to this interview. I think its pretty good.

Enjoy and +karma,

-Rogge
