The snow has been falling in Steamboat finally!  We’ve received some new snow to help with the lack of snow this season but today with my limited ride time I just headed to the park and convinced Chris to join in.  We haven’t been able to ride together in such a long time that I [...]

There are two types of weather days in Steamboat:  Dumping powder or bluebird skies.  We rarely get overcast and we even more rarely get rain.  For some reason today on the slopes was overcast but not snowing on the lower mountain and the snow conditions were dust on crust so not the most fun.
I headed [...]

It was another warm sunny slushy day on the mountain so I took my morning to run errands in town before heading up to the slopes.  The park was calling my name and even though I was riding alone, I wanted to step up my riding today.
I was lucky to catch up with Sonny for [...]

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 [...]

It’s hard to imagine that winter is almost over, March has arrived which is my favorite month of winter but also means there are less days on the slopes soon.  I’ve had an amazing winter so far and today everything felt good, cranked the music, lapped the mountain in the early morning and then was [...]

Yesterday afternoon, the riders came out to throw down in the first ever Two Rails One Cup Rail Jam in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  It started at 4pm but I wasn’t able to make my way down till 5pm to check it out.  The riders were a mix of local Steamboat Springs and nearby Summit County [...]

I’ve been enjoying sundays this year since it’s generally my one day to sleep in before getting up on the slopes.  Today was another late start to the mountain but I made it just in time for the afternoon to enjoy the extended spring hours for the chairlifts.  Now I can ride till 4:30pm each [...]

I love the days when I get the phone call from a friend saying it’s time to shred together.  Today was that day, got the call from Philip and twenty minutes later we were hitting the slopes for my ride break.

Steamboat received a couple new inches which meant there was some good powder in the [...]

Steamboat finally received new snow and I finally felt better to get up on the mountain to enjoy it.  Friday was the perfect day to get in some tree riding before the crowds came in for President’s Weekend.  My co-worker Rochelle and I both hit the mountain to get in our turns on a ride [...]

It was another park day in the boat…definitely with the lack of snow this year, it’s a lot of park and pipe riding during ride breaks.  I’m totally fine with it since I’m hitting features I never would have dreamed of last year and I’m ollie’ing onto boxes now!
However with the lack of snow we’ve [...]
