so, some of us have already ended their season, and some still have some left ( yay! )

but now i would like to read about the best day of your ski season! whether it's a day with a couple of beers and friends or a no-friend-powday, it's all good.

i had my a week ago, my ski club had a comp trip to a nearby resort. i'm a freestyle coach at my resort so i was there too cause it was a freeride comp. in the morning i got to ski with professional freeskiers peter velisek (chill dude btw, loved skiing so much) and jussi mononen from nipwitz! we skied some pow and i skied some of the best lines of my life. in the evening we had a ski cross like comp and i lost to kalle leinonen from nipwitz. anyways, it was just so cool to see stoked people all around me, and meet them and ski with 'em. and we had beer.

your turn!

I only got to clip in once this year.... New job and no PTO accumulated. Nothing eventful happened. Just tried to get in as many turns as possible. All in all I had a total blast and can't wait for next season to start.

Thanks, fellas! I appreciate the love...
You're totally right, one day was way better than none. Skiing is very spiritual to me, and it might sound weird, but I got to bow my head said thanks to the ski gods, said what's up to CR, Shane and Sarah and got to charge.

Probably a couple weeks ago when I threw my first 3 post knee injury! I hurt my knee in January and came back to skiing mid February. Since hurting my knee I wouldn't even hit a jump because I knew if I knuckled or didn't rotate all the way I would be hurt again. But I nutted up and threw a 3 and it felt great. Had a good rail day that day too. The vibes all around were fucking rad. Just a bunch of the homies mobbin around(there were like 12 of us)! So much fun!

Last day in Aspen skiing Ajax. Free mimosas all day at the bottom and a Buckhorn party at the peak for Grizzly Boards. 55 degrees so no gloves, t-shirt only. The best part though was the human slalom, no poles, open beer. I got even more stoked when a dude in a sit-ski shredded with us. Fucking love the vibes there and can't wait to go back.

Last Saturday. Absolutely everyone showed up. It was like a group of like 25 people and we were in in this one park all day hiking this rail and this 30 foot jump. It was a huckfest. Everyone was throwing down as hard as they could. Everyone learned something new. The day ended with my friend throwing his first dub backy off a fairly small jump, and stomping it.

Oh yeah forgot to add. My other friend was also doing dub flats all day. I was so stoked on everyone doing doubles, I wanted to do one myself. But the jumps were closed so I tried to rodeo 6 off a rail. Ended up pinching a nerve in my back, but I was stoked so I didn't care haha. I'm healed now

Too many good days to pick one.

Today was my worst day lol. Overshot a 60 footer and landed on my face at 9:30 in the morning. Couldn't even keep skiing. Going in for concussion testing tonight.

My last day of work was Tuesday, we had just gotten 7 inches over night, after thinking our season was over. My buddy Fynn and I ghostroad the lift and took some awesome powder laps finding tranny everywhere we could. I had lots of great dyas, but that was hell of a way to end my season. Sent a 25 ft cliff, and threw my first (and only!!!) 5 of the season.

Any day where I'm skiing with friends and trying new stuff is the best day

It could be a surprise pow day in March or a 50 degree slush day in January. As long as my buddies are there and we're goofing around and trying new tricks I'm stoked
