Dionne Delesalle has been on a roll. He reported that filming is going well and they've been killing it. Dionne and his crew have been hitting it hard within the last couple of weeks and he's super stoked. He'ill continue to film and shoot photos with his crew in Whistler and then head to Japan toward the end of the month for the Japan Slopestyle scheduled to be held February 27-28 on the North island of Hokkaido.

Markku Koski's been having a ton of fun filming with Standard Films. He's been fortunate to have excellent conditions as well as sunny bluebird days in Tahoe. Markku will bang out as much as possible within the next week and then head to Japan for the Slopestyle event, as well.

Nicolas Droz will be meeting-up with photo editor Nick Hamilton and Joni Makinen later this week to go on a week-long photo shoot in Europe.

John Jackson was last seen slaughtering it with the Standard Films crew in Tahoe. He's been working his ass off filming and shooting photos for the last couple of weeks. John will be joining the ThirtyTwo crew next week to attend the Slopestyle contest held in Hokkaido, Japan on February 27-28.

Tyler Lepore just got back into town from a photo shoot held in Washington. He'll be heading out to shoot and film all week and then take off early next week to Japan for the Slopestyle contest in Hokkaido.

Joni Makinen will be hitting the road with photographer Nick Hamilton for the next couple of weeks, hooking-up with Nicolas Droz and a few of the other European riders.

Janna Meyen's unstoppable. She recently took 1st place at the second stop of the Triple Crown in Mammoth. She's planning on dominating the contest circuit this year and powering out a banging part with a new film project. Janna will be in Oregon for the next couple of weeks shredding and working away. Congratulations, Janna!

Shortly after that, she'll be going to Tahoe for the third stop of the Triple Crown, along with TransWorld's Team Challenge.

Kevin Sansalone has been on fire with the White Out film crew. Along with Dionne Delesalle, he's been killing it, getting a couple of shots per day. Kevin will keep at it with the film crew so he can bang out a solid video part for this fall.

Wille Yli-Luoma reported that he's been slaughtering it with the Mack Dawg crew in Salt Lake City. They've been hitting it hard for the past few weeks at places like "Spot X". They've been at it so hard that they decided to take a few days off to recoup and get some needed rest and relaxation.

Alexis Waite recently signed on with ThirtyTwo and etnies for the next couple of years. Originally from Seattle, Washington, she's really excited to join forces with one of the best teams in snowboarding. "I'm so stoked to be a part of such a well-rounded team!" she commented. Welcome aboard, Lexi! After visiting our offices, Alexis worked her way back up to Mammoth to shred a little. She'll head back to Southern California for the Queen of the Mountain right before she joins the rest of the ThirtyTwo crew for the Japan trip.
