Two weeks out from the first teaser trailers of the 2026 film season, and the pre-hype machine is already whirring — MSP just dropped a Marcus Goguen top-to-bottom run from Alaska that has people talking, and TGR's Grom Contest closes in two days. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere remains the main act. Chile is stacked — Valle Nevado at 368cm, Portillo at 274cm, La Parva at 221cm — the kind of mid-season depth that makes you wonder if this is a generational year for the Andes. Argentina's Las Leñas is holding at 196cm. New Zealand and Australia are another story: Treble Cone's scraping by on 5cm, Perisher and Thredbo are barely registering, and Falls Creek is the lone Aussie bright spot at 51cm. Red Bull Rampage just dropped its 25th-anniversary dates, Mikaela Shiffrin is explaining why she's still racing, and a small Michigan ski hill is fighting to stay alive on $100K. The calendar says summer. The sport says otherwise.
