Bill Briggs Interview

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 12, 2011

I had the honor a couple of weeks ago to sit down with Bill Briggs- arguably the father of ski mountaineering in the US. I interviewed him for Powder over a cup of coffee at the Virginian. I must say, what an amazing character. Check out the full interview here.

Filming, Competing, and….Getting Handcuffed at Gunpoint

Leave a Comment Posted by on March 21, 2011

Best view in the world It has been an all-time winter at Jackson Hole. So good, in fact, it’s been hard to leave. It’s not that we’ve had a ton of big storms, just a lot of eight or ten inch days. This has been ideal both from a sanity stand point (not waiting long [...]

A week at Skeena Heli Skiing- somewhere between a little kid in a candy store and a bull in a china shop

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 8, 2010

I might be the luckiest guy ever. After a long season of non-stop competing, marginal snow, and non-stop travel I get to decompress with eight days of exploring new terrain at Skeena Heli Skiing in Northern British Columbia- what!? Needless to say, it’s unreal up here. Located an hour and a half from Smithers, B.C., [...]
