All hail Cameron Little, this season’s FIRST winner in the Third Annual Swany Outdoor Adventures Video Contest. For his winning entry, Cameron gets a pair of great Swany Gloves.

In his own words: ”My home town is Port Angeles, Wash., though I live at Apex Mountain Resort (B.C) in the winter. I’m currently a Computer Science/Honors student at Western Washington University in Bellingham. My parents introduced me to skiing when I was 4 years old. I raced a bit when I was younger, then got involved in freestyle at Apex six or seven years ago. Last winter I coached the D-Team at Apex, and this year I’m instructing and shredding at Mt. Baker Ski Area.

The video I submitted was one awesome day at Apex this winter break. We got about 20 centimeters of powder on Dec. 30 and I skied with my helmet camera all day. On the technical side, I filmed in 720p 60fps (almost all of the video is slowed down to 50%) and used Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5 for editing. The music was provided free by the Weeknd.”

Didier Cuche celebrates his record-setting fifth win at the famed Hahnenkamm.

UPDATE: Michaela Kirchgasser of Austria took advantage of mistakes by the favorites on Sunday (Jan. 22) to claim a win a World Cup slalom race in Slovenia. Lindsey Vonn, not normally a threat in slalom, finished a strong seventh to pad her lead in the overall World Cup race. See what happened to pre-race favorites Tina Maze and Maria Hoefl-Riesch in this story.

Jan. 21: Didier Cuche might have announced this will be his last season on the World Cup circuit, but the the Swiss superstar proved Saturday (Jan. 21) that he’s far from finished.

Cuche won the famed Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria, for the fifth time to surpass the previous record held by the legendary Austrian downhiller Franz Klammer. American Bode Miller, looking to win the one downhill that has eluded him through the years, nearly crashed at the bottom of the course and wound up 29th.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Local favorite Tina Maze was an unexpected fifth, opening the door for others to claim the top spot in a slalom on Saturday (Jan. 21) in Slovenia. Amongthose taking advantage was American Lindsey Vonn, who survived a near crash to finish fourth and further grow her overall points lead. Learn more and see who won the race.

Talk about getting to the bottom of things.

Controversy has been bubbling on the World Cup ski circuit over Tina Maze’s underwear. Actually, it’s not THAT kind of underwear, but rather the base layer the Slovenian slalom star has worn in recent races.

The issue has gone so far that it’s generated a complaint from the Swiss ski federation because it suggests the base layer makes her less wind resistant than her competitors, an edge that might well matter in races determined by hundredths of seconds.

For her part, last weekend Maze stripped down (some, not all) after a recent race to reval a jogging bra with the message “Not Your Business” written on it. Read what the Washington Post has written about the controversy, then listen to additional reporting from NPR.

The surprising decision by the 37-year-old came Thursday (Jan. 19) in Kitzbuehel, Austria, at a news conference prior to Saturday’s classic Hahnenkamm Downhill. Read more.

Best ski event of the year? Even with the famous Hahnenkanm downhill looming, it’s not on the World Cup Tour.

It’s the Cowboy Downhill at Steamboat, which saw its 38th edition storm down the hill on Tuesday (Jan. 17). As always, skiing carnage and hilarity ensued.

Visit the Steamboat Pilot for a photo slideshow and a video of the madness.

Those are Swany's Rising Star gloves in Paris Hilton's right hand.

We have always had style at Swany Gloves, so we’re never surprised when we discover stylish people wearing our gloves.

Check out this shot of Paris Hilton getting ready to hit the slopes in Aspen, wearing a stylish white ensemble (look at that fur hat!). Now pay attention to the white gloves in her right hand: they are a pair of our Rising Star gloves.

While we’re guessing Paris chose Swany mainly for our high quality construction and superior warmth, we’re also aware that it might have been for the clean white color and the “star” design, which matches well with her “starred” ski pants. So if you’re looking for superior warmth AND style, accessorize like Paris and wear the Rising Star.

Lindsey Vonn flies to a Super G win.

Jan. 14: Second place has rarely been good enough for Lindsey Vonn, but even the American superstar seemed to understand that second was the best she was going to do on Saturday in the World Cup Downhill in Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy.

“I’m really happy with my run,” Vonn told the Associated Press after she placed second to Italian veteran Daniela Merighetti on a day when the wind played tricks on the racers. Part of the reason she feels fine with the result? She remains the overall leader on the tour. Read more.
