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., [...]

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 [...]

Bird Brain, with some bird brains

Leave a Comment Posted by on March 16, 2010

Bird Brain I love Jackson. Like sex and pizza, even when it’s bad, it’s still good. Case and point was this last week. Although there wasn’t blower pow anywhere in bounds, there’s still lots of stuff to do out the back. This couloir is off the backside somewhere. “I think, if you just point it [...]

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 [...]
