I just relapsed on snow. I thought I could make it to next winter, but I didn't even get close. I made it 39 days before I was looking for turns.

Dex is a NS'er, but I don't know his user name.

Cheers,
Jake

That was incredible, esp July chute on the semi rotten snow. Do you have freestyle back ground? your style looks much better that most of the jibbers around here. Thanks for summer stoke.

I wish.  There's nothing but heat and rain here in NJ so no summer chutes for me =[ you are a lucky devil, even if it was the sketchiest thing I've ever seen I want to ride it too.

That was sick man. I always thought that once the winter portion of Snowbird closed you couldn't bring your skis on the Tram anymore, but I guess I was wrong. Do you need to buy the summers pass to be able to do that, or does your winter pass still work?

Thank you.  I enjoyed watching that.  It made my day way better.  I've been stressed out this week and that just lifted all that stress off my shoulders.  THANK YOU.  That looked super fun.  I can't wait for this winter.

Thanks for posting that video, I definitely enjoyed it.

I had to cringe watching that chute at the end, so much debris to be bashing some obsethed's against.

@lemmyski: I grew up skiing bumbs, but have been focusing pretty hard on big mtn. for the last few seasons. It's just a different style I think, better for charging, but I can't throw smooth 9s or do switch ups on rails...

@charmander: All Little Cottonwood Canyon (Snowbird/Alta)

@shocker611: Yup, the first July shot is actually the Benchmark Dorms

@steezdragon: You can bring your skis on the summer tram as long as you sign a release waiver. I checked out baldy main yesterday though and it's bone dry. I was super surprised as I'd never seen it like that. You have to grab a summer pass, but they are pretty cheap, I think.

@Sierra_Steeze: :) That comment made me stoked

@416, Big_Spence, Dubsman35: Surprisingly pretty good. Those skis were pretty much done after last season (I bashed them in Taos during their Freeride Comp pretty well).

@skiminnesota: Snowbasin shuts down a bit early (April I think) and Snowbird shut down May 31. The first shots were Snowbird's closing day and the July shots were Baldy hiked from the summer tram

I'm stoked you guys liked the video so much :) Makes them super fun for me to shoot/edit!

Honestly, you totally deserve the 10/10 karma rating I had already previously given you.

Awesome video, and super stoked on skiing. Posting great content and posts all around.

Keep it up!
