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 [...]

2010 US Crested Butte US Extreme Freeskiing Championships Winning Runs

3 Comments Posted by on February 18, 2011

With the “Extremes” kicking off tomorrow I thought I’d post last year’s winning runs. It was deep then, and with two days of snow in the forecast, it should be deep again tomorrow. Since they already used the weather day, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we get at least one day off. If you’re [...]

Chamonix Pov w/Commentary

1 Comment Posted by on April 1, 2010

Well, I’m about two months behind on editing my POV, so here’s a quick edit from the Euro travels earlier this winter with my extremely insightful commentary (talks are in the works with Morgan Freeman to narrate, but nothing has been finalized at this point). As a note, I didn’t end up with a bunch [...]

Kirkwood Wrap-up

1 Comment Posted by on March 11, 2010

Inspecting The Cirque, if you listen closely you can hear Cliff Bennett yelling at someone. Well, what can one say about Kirkwood? The venue is unreal- it’s the only stop on the tour that we’re guaranteed permanently closed terrain. It’s big, the snow’s good, and the vibe is great. Unfortunately, I ended up a less-than-impressive [...]

Later Freeride World Tour- C’est la vie!

2 Comments Posted by on March 5, 2010

An avalanche rips down Tram Face early Monday. I’m watching from the top of the photo. The idea of skiing the Tram Face is amazing- it’s big, it’s gnarly, and it may have the best spectating of any venue in the world. The reality of skiing tram face is, unfortunately, very difficult. It needs to [...]

Bringing Home the Bacon!

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 22, 2010

After a couple of rough competitions in Europe I was able to bring home the bacon in Crested Butte at the 19th Annual US Extreme Freeskiing Championships. Woot, woot! The win put me atop the Freeskiing World Tour standings, so I have that going for me, which is nice. Check it out here: More photos, [...]

Big Mountain Competition: is this shit for you?

2 Comments Posted by on December 3, 2009

The Bec- the premier face of Big Mountain Competition With IFSA registration about a week off and FWT registration ongoing, I felt obliged to give my $0.02 on big mountain competitions (BMC). With the perceived reward of money, sponsors, and film time, BMC seems like the way to go, right? The competitions have helped launched [...]

South American Freeskiing Championships Preview

Leave a Comment Posted by on September 3, 2009

The people of La Parva, Chile, love two things: Condors and freeskiing. While I can’t really explain their obsession with the former, their obsession with the latter is pretty understandable—amazing terrain and meters upon meters of annual snow. For this reason, it’s no surprise that the Freeskiing World Tour is kicking off there next week [...]

Victory

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 10, 2009

A good way to start the U.S. Freeskiing tour is to win the first stop. I skied strong all weekend and was stoked to come away with the “W.” Now, quickly back to the ‘bird for three days for Skiing Mag’s ski test, then off to Squaw for the next stop of the tour. Word
