This year has been interesting for my riding, I’m jumping everyday now!   I never really wanted to but I’m feeling more comfortable and just having fun with it.  I probably won’t ever hit big jumps again but right now I’m enjoying the small jumps in the Forest Trail and Wonderland Parks.  Today I hit [...]

It’s another beautiful (well overcast) day in Whistler, BC but the Grenade Games make every day a good day on the slopes with the fun antics, good riders and all around good times.  I headed up with evo’s Molly, Chris, Gorio and Amy to check out the superpipe competition.  Of all the pipe contests I’ve [...]

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 [...]

Throughout the week the qualifiers have been going on at Breckenridge for the Totino’s Open aka Dew Tour and while I missed them, I was happy to come down for the finals today and tomorrow.  Waking up to this view of Breckenridge Mountain this morning was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the [...]

The Copper Superpipe opened today as the first halfpipe in the United States and during a non-Olympic year it might have gone unnoticed but with the Olympics around the corner it was a very busy superpipe training day. Tom and I headed over to Copper to enjoy an easy day on the slopes and get [...]

I wasn’t sure if I would make it on the hill but it was a good day to break from work, enjoy the sun and lap the superpipe.  Winds were high so the gondola was not running by the time I got up and other chairlifts were closed but luckily the park chair and Christie [...]

I made sure to Nikwax my outerwear last night for my trip to Washington tonight.  It rarely rains in Steamboat, I can count on 2 hands the number of times I have seen it rain in Steamboat in the past 3 years.  I decided just in case it wouldn’t be a bad idea to re-waterproof [...]

There’s one day of the year that I go out snowboarding to remember friends that are no longer on the mountain and that was today. I’m sure they are riding powder somewhere where they have epic powder fields and bluebird days. Someday I’ll join them but for now I’m enjoying snowboarding when I can. Here’s [...]

I woke up in Keystone but decided to hit up Breckenridge for the day for something new. Some of the crew stayed at Keystone and K had to work so I called up Zac from Hybrid Sessions to meet up and ride for the day. We made a mini video of today’s riding, some groomers, [...]

Shredding Part 2 Well we left A-Basin and I offered up the idea to check out Breck to do some hiking. Breck’s superpipe is a super easy hike from the base of Peak 8 and really I just wanted to ride halfpipe. Breckenridge closed last month but the snow conditions are still amazing on the [...]
