  • Austin Nettleton Texas Tech University MCOM 6050 Master’S Report
    The Continental Divide Examining the effects of the framing of snowboarding and its culture by major sports media organizations on audiences who do not follow snowboarding. Austin Nettleton Texas Tech University MCOM 6050 Master’s Report Acknowledgements This research paper is made possible through the help and support from everyone, including my peers, co-workers, friends and family. Especially, please allow me to dedicate my acknowledgement of gratitude towards the following significant advisors, contributors and persons of importance. First and foremost, I would like to thank my project adviser Ms. Jody Roginson, M.S. for her direct and unabridged guidance, support and assistance. She graciously read my paper, wrote in edits and gave suggestions for corrections and revisions, and kindly offered suggestions to areas of appropriate research, all while donating her valuable time into making sure that I was on the right track writing this paper. Second, I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Ortiz for instructing me on how to write a research paper, as well as Dr. Glenn Cummins for taking time out of his very busy schedule to read my drafts and suggest edits and revisions. Third, I would like to thank my parents, grandparents and friends for their undying support and encouragement. This was my first ever research paper, and I had to take it on independently without funding, so their support, encouragement and words of wisdom gave me strength to push through and write the best paper I could possibly write. Finally, I would like to thank the many snowboarders and snowboarding organizations who contributed to this research with not only quotes and insights, but encouragement.

    Glossary of Ski Terms by Skis.com Page 1 of 11 Home > Ski-O-Pedia > Glossary of Ski Terms Glossary of Ski Terms By Steve Kopitz 12/18/2012 Skiing and snowboarding are two of the greatest winter sports on the planet, and like anything else in this world the two sports have certain terms and jargon that can be confusing without a bit of definition. Below you will find a number of terms/phrases used in skiing and snowboarding to refer to products, clothing, and the sports of skiing and snowboarding in general. We have provided a brief definition to help clear up any confusion or questions you may have on these terms/phrases. A ABS Sidewall: Industry term for a type of edge construction on skis and snowboards using high quality ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic. All-Mountain Ski: A large percentage of Alpine skis fall into this category. All-Mountain skis are designed to perform in all types of snow conditions and at most speeds. Other names for this style of ski include Mid- Fat skis, All-Purpose skis, and the One-ski Quiver. Alpine Skiing: Downhill skiing, as opposed to Nordic Skiing. Après-Ski: The day’s over – time for drinks and swapping war stories from the slopes. Audio Helmet: A helmet wired with speakers that allows you to listen to music while skiing. Avalanche Beacon: A safety device worn by skiers, snowboarders, and others in case an avalanche traps them. The beacon transmits a signal (typically at the international standard frequency of 457khz) that rescuers can use to locate a buried person.

    Media information LAAX OPEN 2019 New: Night final in the superpipe on Saturday, 19 January 2019 International snowboarding event at the ‘world’s best freestyle resort’ in LAAX, Switzerland, from 14 to 19 January 2019 (LAAX, Switzerland – 25 October 2018) – The LAAX OPEN will take place for the fourth year in succession from 14 to 19 January 2019 and will include Europe’s most important and prestigious snowboarding competition for slopestyle and the halfpipe. It is based on a tradition of freestyle movement, which LAAX has been establishing with these events for over three decades. Like in tennis and golf, OPEN events are also the most illustrious competitions in snowboarding. With additionally a whole host of side events bringing the LAAX roots into the modern world, the LAAX OPEN is the showpiece in the riders’, fans’ and iconic-devotees’ calendar. A high-quality field is guaranteed at the FIS Snowboard World Cup: prestigious titles, highest amount of world ranking points and CHF 200,000 in prize money are up for grabs. On the innovative slopestyle course, the leading freestylers wow the spectators with new tricks on the rail and bold aerial moves as well as with crazy rotations and stylish airs on the over 200-metre-long superpipe. The list of winners of the LAAX OPEN includes well-known Olympic medal winners from all over the world, such as Mark McMorris (CAN), Max Parrot (CAN), Ayumu Hirano (JPN), Iouri Podladtchikov (SUI), Chloe Kim (USA), Jiayu Liu (CHN), Jamie Anderson (USA) and Enni Rukajärvi (FIN). The absolute highlight of the LAAX OPEN 2019 will be the halfpipe finals – when night turns into day at 2,252 metres above sea level, when darkness is summoned ‘spot on’ and when the floodlights light up the superpipe, the speaker begins the countdown and the spectators cheer wildly.

  • LOOKING BACK at 50 GOLDEN YEARS of SNOWMASS HISTORY & TIMELINE Olympian and Dashing Norwegian Ski Celebrity Stein Eriksen Lo
    LOOKING BACK AT 50 GOLDEN YEARS OF SNOWMASS HISTORY & TIMELINE Olympian and dashing Norwegian ski celebrity Stein Eriksen loaded the first chair at Snowmass on December 16, 1967, during a festive and frenzied weekend of last-minute preparations, celebrations, and huge media hype. Touted as the country’s largest and most complete winter resort at the time, Snowmass-at-Aspen boasted five chairlifts and 50 miles of trails, all easily accessed by a European-style slopeside village designed by noted architect Fritz Benedict, who trained under Frank Lloyd Wright. Ten years in the making, Snowmass was the vision of California developer Bill Janss, an ex- Olympic skier who had bought up several ranches at the base to develop into multiple Alpine- style ski villages. With nature as the defining principle, he worked with the US Forest Service and what is now the Aspen Skiing Company to create a ski area larger and more varied than the three other Aspen ski mountains combined. The construction of West Village, as the Snowmass Mall area was then known, happened over just nine months in 1967, with the finishing touches of hotels being completed as the first guests arrived and resort crews working around-the-clock in preparation. Over the past 50 years, Snowmass has grown into its own as a year-round family resort, with a mountain whose possibilities continue to be explored. Ski-terrain expansions have included the powder fields and steeps of the Hanging Valley and the vast above-treeline bowl of the Cirque; next summer, summer recreation opportunities increase with the new Lost Forest complex of an alpine coaster, canopy tour, new hiking and biking trails, and more.
