I went to A-basin with a slightly injured knee, and no snow forecasted, not expecting much out of the day. They reported 3 inches of snow but they got more like 6-8. The first run down had to be my favorite of the season. It was an untouched powder run down the spine at pallavicini with nobody else around.

When I tried to ski through my friends legs on one of the most crowded runs but he was going way too fast, so I was stuck limboing between his legs for an uncomfortable amount of time while people were looking like wtf are you doing? The whole time I was trying in vain to speed up and eventually we nearly ran into a lift pole so I turned and we crashed. I don't know why. It was just funny at the time.

Packed powder turned into moguls everywhere, just trying to find little tranmies the whole way down was so great

My friend dropped his pole from the ski lift I went into the muddy patch he dropped it in to get it not taking off my skis I stepped down and crossed my tails fell off a cliff kinda area (5-6) feet and managed to wreck an entire ski train of instructors and classes over 20+ kids were whining and the instructors just laughed at the fact that I had kids piled on and around me...Funny as fuck! Had to be there!

When I went skiing at Park City, skied NEFF Land and hit the biggest jumps I've ever taken. And to watch my son have his best season ever, topping it off with an invite to Jr.Natls at PC where he placed 2nd in big air(bragging rights ha)
Also, seeing, and giving a hug to Tom Wallisch at the Dew Tour!

its a close call between two.

fist was when i went to jackson hole in january and had my first real deep powder runs. ive been an absolute DIE HARD skier since i could walk, but living on the east coast i never skied truely bottomless pow. we hired a BC guide for the day and skied shit that felt like it was straight out of the movies. deep pow, fat skis, and face shots. it brought tears to my eyes on the way down.

the other was just this last weekend at whiteface, and it was the first seriously springy day of the season, for me at least. the whole outing club from my school was there (a couple of school buses full) and everyone was rocking retro gear. we all charged "look out below" together, and they were some of the most fun bumps ive ever bumped. cloudless skies, 50 degrees weather, super-soft snow, and some large daffys had me smiling like a goon.

New skis, new boots, best pow day at Mammoth, watching Nosebutter triple cork...

But in general, becoming addicted to freeskiing, and changing my life. That's been what this season has done.

I went on vacation to ski Grand Targhee in Alta Wyoming. It was April 8th that we skied there. I expected spring conditions with no fresh snow. It started snowing the night before and the website said 4 inches overnight. I got there, 12" of fresh, barely any people, my friend hooked me p with a free pass, i skied fresh powder all day on an amazing mountain!

fucking every moment this season. it was my first season skiing full time out west (bridger bowl) and every day was a blast no matter what. i progressed so much and learned how to ski variable conditions so much better, and on top of that it was with my good friends. so yea i'm fucking stoked on the whole season!

Feb 28.
I got to work at 530 in the morning and it was dry as a bone in the valley. Around 10am it was puking outside. By the time I had finished work at 130pm, there was about 6" fresh. My coworker and I ran home, got our gear and made it up the gondola at 215. We made close to the last Peak Chair (Whistler) and cut out into the Khyber. We descended into insane white out conditions and it was dark as doomsday in there. We break into the trees, and just get into the BEST snow I had/have ridden all season. Untracked at 3pm. The best run of my life I swear to god. I took a picture of it's glory before I tore it up.

Not favorite. But memorable.
Lost a ski on a double black, almost went head first into a spine without my helmet on, got up, hit like a 10 foot cliff, rode out fine. And then cruisin through about 5 inches of pow I was gonna hit a small jump perpendicular and right about a tree that was leaning down about horizontal off the run. Left ski shot out in the powder and I hurts tree with my pole in front of my leg going about 25 and front flipped over the tree and double ejected with my skis going about 10 feet in the air.
Life@reno was there and thought I broke my leg then laughed

Mine would have to be when my friend tried a 450 out of a really sketchy up rail, and got a compound fracture in his hand. Idk but my other friend and I made a bunch of really bad hand puns on the lift ride up. Haha even he was laughing his ass off. That moment or landing my first underflip
