All On Black | Tucker Carr & Lalo Rambaud

Profile and significance Lalo Rambaud is a French freeride skier and filmmaker from Annecy and La Clusaz who has become one of the most distinctive new voices in big-mountain skiing. Born in 2001 and raised in the French Alps, he grew up lapping La Clusaz with friends and legendary coach Seb Michaud before stepping into the Freeride Junior Tour and, later, the Freeride World Tour Challenger ranks. As a Challenger-series rider with La Clusaz listed as his home mountain, he operates in the tier just below the full Freeride World Tour, competing on demanding faces while also pouring much of his energy into film projects....

Profile and significance Tucker Carr is a young American big-mountain freeskier and filmmaker from Jackson, Wyoming, whose fast rise from junior freeride contests to headline film projects has made him one of the key new faces of Teton skiing. Born and raised in Jackson Hole, with a father who worked at the resort for more than three decades, he was on skis by age two and came up through the Jackson Hole Mountain Sports School’s elite freeride programs. Those weekend groups turned into serious junior freeride starts, then into a professional path once brands and film crews realized how naturally he moved through steep terrain....

Overview and significance Jackson Hole in Wyoming centers on Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, a benchmark North American venue defined by the “Big Red” Aerial Tram, the legendary Corbet’s Couloir, and a deep culture of big-mountain skiing. With a continuous 4,139 feet of vertical and a layout that funnels skiers from alpine faces to long, gladed fall lines, it is one of the most consequential in-bounds experiences in the United States. The resort’s modernized lift network and capacity-managed ticketing aim to keep lines moving on storm and bluebird days alike, while recurring headline moments—most notably the athlete-driven Kings & Queens of Corbet’s—reinforce Jackson Hole’s status in global freeskiing....

Overview and significance La Clusaz is a Haute-Savoie classic with five linked massifs—Beauregard, Manigod, Étale, Aiguille, and Balme—spread between about 1,100 m and 2,600 m. The official figures tell the story for mileage and variety: roughly 125 km of runs served by 47 lifts and more than 1,500 m of vertical from the top of Balme down to the village, with the broader Aravis area extending options to around 210 km on a regional pass. For freeskiers, the mix is unusually complete for a mid-size French domain: playful tree-lined sectors for fast repetitions, a headline alpine bowl at Balme for freeride when stability allows, and a renewed park program under the LCZ banner for rail and jump work (alpine skiing overview)....

Overview and significance Whistler Blackcomb is Canada’s flagship resort and a global reference point for freeskiing, pairing massive scale with a lift system that keeps days flowing. The resort’s official mountain brief lists 8,171 acres of skiable terrain, more than 200 marked runs, 36 lifts, and three terrain parks spanning intermediate to expert, with highest lift access at 2,284 m and base elevation around 675 m—good for roughly 1,609 m (5,280 ft) of vertical in a single push. Average snowfall is given at about 432 inches (1,091 cm) and the operating calendar regularly stretches among the longest in North America, which is why film crews, national teams, and everyday park riders treat Whistler Blackcomb as a season-long training ground....

Brand overview and significance Soleil Noir is a French sun-care brand created in 1978 with deep roots in skiing and high-mountain culture. Originally developed by a family of mountain enthusiasts who wanted protection strong enough for winter UV but pleasant enough for everyday use, the brand quickly became a reference for skiers, guides and instructors who spend entire seasons on snow. Over time it evolved from simple sunscreen into a full cosmetic line where tanning, anti-age care and technical protection are treated as a single package rather than separate categories....

Brand overview and significance Turtlebox is a US-based outdoor audio brand best known for its ultra-rugged, ultra-loud Bluetooth speakers designed to survive real-world abuse. Created by a small crew of friends who kept breaking conventional speakers during hunting, fishing and boating missions on Houston’s Buffalo Bayou, Turtlebox started as a garage project rather than a business plan. When nothing on the market was both tough enough and loud enough, they built their own solution and only later realized that thousands of other outdoor addicts had the same problem....
