This year I’ve been really excited about park because I’m finally hitting features and trying to progress my park riding.  I feel comfortable on every feature in the small park, a couple features in the medium park and any day that it’s bluebird outside I’m generally taking a ride break to the park especially when [...]

Location: Breckenridge & Steamboat, Colorado Snow Conditions: Mixture of weather with hardpacked groomers to overcast on new snow.

Ah resort town living…it means that some nights you close out the bars only to wake up hours later to press glass and get in some epic powder turns.  That was today for me and a powder day on the mountain cures everything. I picked up Amy at 8am, got coffee and bagels at the [...]

It feels really good to have a 3 day weekend in town where I can leisurely relax and make my way to the mountain when I want to.  I made a couple calls but most people had gone in for the day so I ended up spending the afternoon alone riding the mountain.  We received [...]

I started 2010 exactly how I wanted to:  sleeping in and going snowboarding with friends.  It felt great and was exactly my idea of beginning this year.  Yesterday was the powder day in Steamboat but I couldn’t enjoy the goods so today Philip and I made our way up to find some leftover snow for [...]
