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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This week was definitely working for the weekend and when the weekend arrived, it was much-needed time to shred!  With Mike in town we were finally able to take laps together and since he spent the last two days freeriding the mountain, we opted for a park day today. Say hi to Mike…he’s the behind [...]

After yesterday’s amazing riding at Buffalo Pass, it wasn’t a hard decision to go back there today for more snowboarding.  Despite a late night out, some of us rallied this morning with much needed coffee and made it back to the sleds for more powder turns.  We had less people and ended up being more [...]
