The future is bright for women’s snowboarding and one of those bright stars is pro snowboarder Ellery Hollingsworth, who at 19 has accomplished so much in snowboarding and helps drive women’s snowboarding to higher levels.  In 2009, Ellery was the first female rider to land a 1080 in the halfpipe and she recently celebrated her [...]

Yesterday I received a call from the local newspaper that they had been recommended to use me in a local piece in the upcoming Steamboat magazine for next winter.  I was pretty amazed that my name was tossed around (thanks Jon!) and the article was on local’s favorite runs/parts of the mountain.  It meant today [...]

You know it’s a rough week when you might not even get outside to enjoy the snow during the week, unfortunately that was me this week.  With SIA approaching, it means less ride time on the mountain but luckily today I spent my hour lunch break making park laps with some of the instructors.  Steamboat [...]

I wasn’t sure if I’d hit up the mountain today but as soon as I made it to the top of the superpipe and had my best run…there was no turning back on what a fun afternoon it would be.  I came up alone since I had just dropped off Mike at the airport and [...]

It was another day to enjoy a ride break, the sun was out and couldn’t resist heading to the snow to enjoy it.  I joined a couple co-workers for a ride break to the halfpipe, we’re having an employee pipe competition on Wednesday so we figured some practice time would be good.  Most of my [...]

I woke up at 7am to see that there was no new snow and negative temperatures so I crawled back into bed.  Took a late start after sleeping in and headed up the gondola to do a fast run down Heavenly Daze to the halfpipe.   The Lotus-R/Force combo has been keeping me really happy, [...]

I was nervous about riding today but I was going a little nuts and needed to get outside on the snow. The gondola had a line full of people during my ride break so I hit up Christie Express to get up to the pipe quick and make quicker laps. I made a really short [...]

On Monday night I had the opportunity to check out the Oakley Revolution Tour at Copper Mountain. I was really stoked to get the invite and be able to attend the event, even for just one night. I took photos and did a write up for Transworld Business, but also attended on behalf of my [...]

The season is winding down here in Steamboat with closing day on Sunday, April 6th so I made sure to hit up the mountain today for a ride break. Beautiful day from the top of the gondola looking at Storm Peak I managed to make it up and met up with Brent who is crashing [...]

I was stoked to hit up Snowmass after hearing good things about the mountain. It definitely lived up to the expectations, offering up everything in terms of riding. It also offered up the best most successful gaper hunt photos of my trip. Seriously so many one-pieces, it was like Christmas for me! Since I went [...]
