Welcome to Panda Vision!
After nearly 15 years of creating content at Panda Poles, we’ve stacked up more than 200 video edits! From shredding with the crew to ninja antics and cheeseball infomercials, the Panda Vid archives are packed with both information and entertainment. We’ve recently gathered our favorite videos onto the newly designed Panda Vision page on our website. This collection will be updated regularly with fresh drops and timeless classics. Think of it as a portal into the DNA of our brand. Looking back, I know some of these edits lean into the cringe—and yes, some definitely run longer than they probably should. But each one holds a piece of the history of the Panda Poles. And luckily, there should be plenty of spirit and shenanigans in this archive to keep you entertained (and maybe even inspired) for at least a few of the countless minutes you’ll inevitably spend in front of screens. To that, I salute you. Panda Vision… Tribe UP! www.PandaPoles.com/PV

The Panda Reborn
PANDA POLES 2025/2026 PRE ORDER SALE NOW LIVE AT PANDAPOLES.COM! Okay, this might sound a bit wild to some of you—but Panda Poles didn’t start as an idea. It arrived more like... a cosmic telegram. Picture this: Full moon. February 21, 2008. TanSnowMan is outside at his house at the base of Little Cottonwood, staring at the sky, when bam—spirit shows up. And from the clouds descend these ski poles. Not just any poles. Bamboo wands with cone-shaped baskets, samurai-length grips, and straps that looked like they were stitched by mountain monks. They weren’t just tools. They were a message. A mission. And the Panda Chief couldn’t unsee it. The feeling was clear: Make these. Make them for the people. Fast forward through a decade of building, dreaming, and skiing—and then, 2020 hits. We had to pause Panda. Close up shop. But deep down, we knew the spirit hadn’t left the building. It was just... regrouping. And here's the truth: without the support, love, and sheer stoke of our community—the Panda Tribe—this rebirth wouldn’t be happening. You held the vision with us. You kept the spark alive. And it’s thanks to you that Panda gets to rise again. Now here we are, Earth Day 2025. And guess what? The Phoenix hath risen. The spirit of Panda is alive and well—quirky as ever, but wiser now. And we're stoked to introduce a new, leveled-up version of our beloved Magic Ski Wands for the 2025/2026 season. We’re talking: redesigned Panda Cone baskets, bamboo from what might be the most enchanted grove on Earth, and dreamy new straps that’ll hug your hands like a good friend. We could ramble on and on about details, but instead, we’ll leave you with our first-ever video: Play With The Mountain, from back in December 2010. It was our opening statement to the world—and still one of the truest. Because in a world tangled up in status and noise, play is a sacred act. It reconnects us. Grounds us. Heals us. So go ahead. Enjoy the show. And always remember to bow to the mountain. Tribe UP!

Spring Shreddin' at The Rock: Dirty Pebble
Local riders Bo Ferro, Matt Tsakrios, and TanSnowMan get into some dirty skiing on terrain that is rarely skied at Pebble Creek Ski Area (a.k.a. "The Rock") during the last week of the season at the South East Idaho ski hill. TanSnowMan sums up the day's action in a ski-skewered Hunter S. Thompson quote: "Skiing should not be a journey to the bottom with the intention of arriving with skis unscathed and and edges in perfect condition, but rather to clatter in broadside in a swoosh of slush, thoroughly amped up, totally stoked out and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a slide!" In other words, No Sissy Footin' Around... Disclaimer: The terrain in this video is in atypical of Pebble Creek Ski Area and is rarely skied, particularly in these conditions. This footage in no way should represent skiing at Pebble Creek Ski area. However, it does demonstrate how badass skiing at Pebble Creek can be.

Go behind the scenes, to learn the story of how Josh Jeffreys, Bo Ferro, and Jordon Beesley came to meet their 'sensei' at The Panda Dojo... Note: Yes, we know that Pandas are from China and sensei is a Japanese concept. This is satire.

Panda Poles Season Highlight Reel: KIDZ
Becoming a grown up has it’s way of hardening us, as humans. It seems that as the responsibilities pile on, our zest for life and the playfulness of youth tend to fade into the background noise; becoming faint, distant images of the wonder that used to be. Where creativity, imagination, and spontaneity once took precedence, the priority shifts to survival, stability, and status. Our once carefree sentiments get beaten out of us, until we submit to the role of adulthood... Yet somehow no matter what age somebody is, when we send ourselves down the snow with the only intention being to have fun--the only goal to create joy within our soul--we rekindle our youth. We awaken our hearts and stoke that early flame of wonder and joy which was once all that mattered in our world. We remind ourselves that life is beautiful, and we were meant to play. Somehow, no matter what, as long as we remember how to have fun, we will always be kids at heart … With that being said, don’t let adulthood get you down, man... Handle your biz, contribute to your local and global community, make sure your ducks are all in a row… But then, shred everything else! And for the record, I’m saying this to myself just as much as anybody else… Kidz… Tribe UP! Panda Poles Bamboo Ski Poles www.PandaPoles.com @PandaPoles #PandaPoles

PPSHR 2K15: The Rock
The first day of the season may have ended after only 3 runs, and it may have rained to the top of the mountain the following night... There may have only been a 36" base for most of the season, and the mountain may have closed a month early... Regardless of the conditions, a few passionate individuals managed to make the most of Pebble Creek's "worst season on record", and had an absolutely radical time with their friends and fellow Panda Tribe members at "The Rock"! It's not the conditions that dictate the quality of the season. It's the amount of stoke one can cultivate that creates the richness of anyone's on-snow experience...

PPSHR 2K15: BELIEVE
After several years of below average snowfall, and last year having one of the lowest snowpacks in the history of the western U.S., it's easy to become discouraged by skiing's potentially detrimented future. And if you pay attention to the news, it's easy to feel that the whole world is falling apart. However, there are those of us that believe that regardless of whether the first day of the season gets rained out, or it hasn’t snowed in weeks and there is dirt showing everywhere. Or even if it seems like the whole world is going crazy, the mountain is our temple, and every joyful jump and turn is an expression of our heart, and a prayer for world peace...

HandCrafted in the USA
The smell of sawdust wafts through the room, as the whine of an electric drill stirs the silence. Peaceful intentions in motion like steady waves upon the ocean. With focus and attention, distracted only by perfection, two hands doth work as one. Seeding dreams of magic and wonder into the hands of those who ski, and those who see; that the cost of making goods in China, is more than just money. The cost of making all goods in China is a potentially destructive luxury. With corporation profit inflation, worker wage stagnation, and dismal working conditions overseas; we are but only playing a real life game of Monopoly. The cost of only making goods in China is a decaying middle class economy. The cost is a loss of spirit; that which no one can see… Panda Poles Bamboo Ski Poles www.PandaPoles.com @PandaPoles #PandaPoles
