Edgework: This one is a classic. It’s full length, produced by Greg Stump, and yes, the interviews are over-dubbed in Spanish. But you don’t watch this film for the dialogue…you watch it for the “extreme skiing”, in particular, the skiing of Glen Plake (famed for his blond Mohawk haircut. This film is good enough that …

Press Clippings: Good Morning. It’s Wednesday, 15 February 2017 and this is the morning edition of The Nightshift, the world’s overnight news feed.

It’s a combination of snow, ice, frozen rain and winds that could hit a projected 60MPH. If the winds really build up, expect power …
Edgework: There once was a skiing magazine called Edgework. The staff of The Nightshift produced it and when we decided to do something digital on skiing, we brought the name back. It was not like any other skiing magazine because it covered territory that other magazines did not, with an attitude that other skiing magazines …
