It seems we can add Armada to the list of brands that will publish their web TV next season. The Californian ski brand has posted an opening for a video intern capable of shooting and editing videos. Intern is most certainly code for lousy, if any, pay but on the other hand: as the official Armada video slave you'll get to travel the world with the Armada team. Interested? Send your resume to media@armadaskis.com.

Rumors have been buzzing since weeks, but after the initial confirmation that the Winter X Games are coming to Europe next year, we now have the dates. The show is on for March 8-12, 2010 in Tignes, the resort that shares the Espace Killy ski area with neighbor Val d'Isère. It's the first time that the Winter X Games will be held outside the US. During three days the resort will be the backdrop to eight different skiing and snowboarding competitions: superpipe and slopeestyle for both men and women.
So far no information has been released on the athletes to be invited, but we'll keep you posted as more news becomes available. And of course: count on skipass to be reporting live on the Winter X Games, both in the US and in our backyard.

The event will be aired by CANAL + Networks in France and the French-speaking territories.

// this is a skipass.com exclusive. if you wish to re-publish this trailer, go ahead but be kind enough to use the embed codes here. //

This year’s film, directed by Dom Janiszewski, is the outcome of a solid collaboration between Dom and Sammy, who has been involved in every stage from planning to graphic design. They began shooting just before the X-Games in Aspen and the surrounding areas. The next big stop was in Europe in Montgenèvre where they had excellent conditions. Then to finalize everything, Dom spent over a month in the US travelling all over the place with Sammy and company.

This year, Ride the Planets also collaborated with filmers based in the US: Pete Alport, Justin Weigan and Brandon Husak. They filmed the more urban shoots around the US with various riders.
The film also features freeskiers such as Matt Walker, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Tommy Ellingson, Mike Hornbeck, Ben Moxham, Liam Downey and Nick Martini as well as ‘Sammy’s kids’ Willie Borm and Seamus Flanagan. Of course, infamous paragliding shots with Antoine Montant are topped off with impressive speedflying.

Tanner Hall, who has been recuperating in Park City, Utah, ever since his accident back in May will probably not be back on skis this season.  His physical therapist Janna Mann, who has been working with Tanner on his recovery at Alpine Sports Medicine in Park City, says in an interview with Powder Mag that he can be expected back for the 2010-2011 season. 

Tanner himself wrote on twitter today that he's walking on both legs awaiting his next surgery: "Big changes in the knees walkin on both legs right now killing shit one day at a time!!!" As soon as he's strong enough he will have to undergo two more surgeries to repair his ACL’s.
