A day in AK

Headed up to Alaska for the weekend. Got a chance to shred Tincan Proper the day before the rain came and destroyed our beautiful snowpack. This was also my first run on my new 181 Caylors (a glorious shred stick btw). Headed back up in a couple weeks to spend about a month gettin after it!

Old and New

It's official, I'm stoked to be a part of ON3P now! Baker has been nukin snow and pow days are on the horizon. Can't wait to try out those Caylors!


Went up to Heliotrope last weekend with the roomates and got to make some TURNS! Long hike but it felt great to be back on the skis!


Here's an edit of some fresh pow from the day before I got hurt last year.

Also be sure to check out "Come Find Us" by Toy Soldier Productions. Got a chance to film some rails in Montana last fall with some good friends. They made an absolutely stellar movie and it's definitely worth a look!

Helmet Cam From Last Year

Rossta dug this little gem out of the vaults and made a new edit:

1st park of the year at Mt.Hood

The last time I waited until March to ski park was when I was still ski racing. It was interesting getting my jumping feet under me again but it came back pretty quick. Landis and I bought spring passes at Timberline for only $109, I love me a bargain. I was able to ski for three days until I had to drive back to Bellingham for school. Sharkins let us stay at his house at Windells and we got to shred their amazing facilities. I even re-learned how to rollerblade (the last time I did I was in 5th grade). We were able to make a sweet little shredit of the weekend:

Got some new snow!! Whoo Hoo!!

Went up for a half day after class today, it snowed 5 inches last night. First sign of new snow in a while for me. I also got to build my first booter of the year! Came pretty close on some doubles, hopefully ill get another chance to hit it in the next few days.

Rime Knits Ads

Got a couple of advertisements for Rime Knits!


This was in Idaho with B.Becker. It was actually a large road gap that at the end of the day I decided to hit as two jumps!

This one is an Ad on Newschoolers.com, it appears as a banner ad on the side of the site.

This ad is from Turnagain Pass, AK. It was -10 degrees that day and I only had time to build the kicker and hit it once because my toes were on the verge of frostbite. Im glad i landed my one and only hit.
