Winter in the Tahoe area has finally arrived! Recently I got back from slaying powder in Colorado to find Reno blanketed in a foot of new snow. Bentley from DOS media also heard about the recent snowfall and was quickly on the road to Reno.
Christmas night Jason Badger, Bentley, Justin Anderson and myself began setting up for a long night of filming. We started off on the double kink which some of you Reno locals might recognize. I was also stoked to try out my new urban ramp which I finished a few months ago and have been waiting to use it. Despite the fact that this rail has been hit many times before I wanted to get a new trick that had never been done on it. Justin and I quickly started working on our tricks, and Justin was slaying. So finally, I started working on transferring from rail to rail. It was a super hard trick since Clayton's double kinks are not that close together. In the process I managed to shear my binding off after getting caught in the rail and Anderson had one of the best crashes Ive seen in a while! Check out the movie to see what happened.

After staying up for 48 hours straight and filming urban with Bentley we decided to take a day off while the backcountry settled and the avalanche danger subsided. We headed out the following day with photog Ben Meester and DOS athlete Christian Mares into the Tahoe backcountry. After Bentley cruised into the parking lot 2 hours late we took off to try and find a place to build a feature. We found this spot that had a REALLY tricky landing zone, It was a step-over hip that had a super steep landing into a ravine. leaving little room for error. The lip build took us around 3 hours, but turned out to be really fun and I started things off with some flat spins. A couple hits in, I got the shot on the flatspins, then Christian and I decided it twas time for some double flips. I dropped in and set my spin just right, however.... I somehow managed to come up about 10 feet short and land on the knuckle. With the early season snow pack i drove my knee into a rock that was just under the surface. As it turns outs, the rock is much harder than my knee.... who knew?! That ended my day and we headed out, thankful to have gotten my first shots of the year in the backcountry.
