It snowed a lot in Whistler last year. So much in fact that it limited where Jussi Oksanen, John Jackson, Mikey Rencz, Mark Sollors, and Mikkel Bang could even go to film.

So leave the cowboy hats and leather chaps in the closet because they won't be needed for these rodeos. Here are a bunch of rodeos from Peetu Piironien, Christian Haller, Stephan Maurer, Roope Tonteri, Shaun White, Mikkel Bang, Marko Grilc, John Jackson, Jeremy Jones, Mark McMorris, and Danny Davis. Giddy up.

In the world of 1260s and triple corks, 540s are easily overlooked these days. While a slow, stylish frontside 540 isn't as technically hard as spinning your face off, it is much harder to make look good.
