New day, new NUBZ. Episode two of "NUB TV" has arrived, and right on cue, as winter is winding down here in North America and we needed a jolt of freeski action like Tanner Hall needs real mountains. The new series from Armada follows Freeride World Tour riders Ben Richards and Toby Rafford on their quest to find a spot on the podium, good landings and a fun party... or two or five.

In this episode, we catch up with the crew in February as Richards takes the top spot on the first-ever FIS Freeride World Championships. From there it's off to Georgia, Austria and Switzerland for a spree filled with poor snow conditions, consistent avalanches and canceled comps. Like all riders on the Tour this season, the pair were handed a basket of lemons and had to make lemonade, which is exactly what happened.

Is this the first edit with footage of Ross Tester skiing park? Possibly, and we're all better off because of it. Catch the full cut and photos from the talented Daniel Rönnbäck below.

From YouTube:

The nubz are back. Ben Richards wins FIS Freeride World Champs in Andorra! Then everything starts avalanching and everything gets canceled. With the Freeride World Tour on hiatus, Toby Rafford, Benji and crew go nubbing around Georgia, Austria, and Switzerland.

Watch freeriders go freestyling. Stay tuned for “elite athletes” "training" to reach the absolute peak of their potential. Get a lesson in how to make a pitcher of lemonade out of a heap of down days.

Ben even crashes in a comp run once, but it didn’t count so we hid the footage. See you all in Alaska.
