I spent today in the sun, doing quick park laps through Keystone Resort’s A51 with the likes of Ahmet Dadali, Mike Hornbeck, Matt Walker, Henrik Lampert, and other Summit County locals. As the wind finally decided to die down for the first time all week, we were able to finally T off on Keystone’s big [...]
Under Armour product is rated at 10,000MM / 10,000G…
That’s a pretty big number but I don’t really know what it means.. Therefore, I thought it fitting to dump an entire 3 gallon container of water on my head. I know the photo is tough to see but that water just beaded off. I mean, look [...]
As you can see from the photo below, it’s been quite windy in Summit County the last few days…
With average gusts of 25 mph, its been rather difficult to hit big jumps at either Breckenridge or Keystone. As a result, I’ve spent two days attending the Freeskier Ski Test…
Yep, that’s my credential that gets me [...]
As many people may or may not know, Copper has recently teamed up with Woodward to bring the ski and snowboard community an entirely new epicenter of fun…
Whether its summer, spring, winter or fall, you can now ride in Colorado in a relatively risk-free scenario. While some may disagree with the word “training” in conjunction [...]
If you want to get off the ground you have to earn it. Put OrOr go to alaska and jump off a mountain. So by a nice “grain shovel” and get out there.
Newschoolers.com member popcornboyjunior spoke of my last blog post saying, “nothing worth skiing in summit? spoiled FU#K…” While I can admit that I am somewhat spoiled, I would still say that there is a serious lack of difficult terrain in the Summit County area…
To back up my above statement, here is a short story…
Following the [...]
Hey everybody, how’s it going? The US Open and the Killington Grand Prix are coming up. I am super excited! I have been working on some new tricks. I was hitting jumps at copper and did switch back nine to front 10, I land both tricks clean. Hopefully I can land them in the contest. [...]
Recently, while shooting with Level 1 Productions in Utah, I managed to absolutely destroy my snowmobile.. My current estimate for repairs is around $3600.. That’s pretty good right?
As a result, I have returned home to Colorado where I have been skiing in Summit County for the last week or so. However, the weather has recently [...]

It has been a rather weird time here in Utah. By weird I mean the sudden onslaught of spring like weather. The temperatures the past couple days have reminded us of how indifferent winter can be. Just last week we had great storm system move in and like famous chef Emeril [...]
This weekend was the 13th US Freeskiing Open, making it the longest running ski competition in freeskiing. Copper mountain and MSI did a great job of organizing the event and the pipe was in great shape. The weather co-operated on Saturday, making semis and finals a great show. Justin Dorey proved once again that he [...]
A bear skull. Don’t know what kind.
Below is my chair lift. The mother ship. Includes; push shovel, snowshoes, tools,boards, knives, and of course a stereo.
The weather finally worked in our favor and was warm and sunny in Northstar. Justin Dorey was tied for first in the overall standings for pipe and Bobby Brown was in 2nd for Slopestyle. Tanner Rainville had one of the more stylie runs in qualifying but didn’t make finals.
Bobby put together a good run in [...]
We are just minding our own business, when around the corner comes 10 snowmobilers. One see’s our group on the hillside and decides to highmark across the mountainside. As you can see a slide broke loose and moved toward us. Fortunatly it was only a few feet deep and stopped before reaching our group.
A member [...]
Hey everybody, how’s your winter going? Mine is going well, lots of snowboarding contest and lots of fun! I’ve been learning new tricks this winter and riding slope style more this year. The past few weeks have been super busy for me. I went to X-Games to watch my sister and all my friends, but [...]

When a person thinks of an ostrich they might think of an oddly large flightless bird that lives in Africa. All of which is true but when I think of an ostrich, I think of a crash in snowboarding or skiing when someone is stuck in the snow upside down with their [...]
The last week in Utah has been insane.  The snow has been falling unrelentingly and everyone that I know has been skiing through aches and pains just to be able to experience the snow, which eluded us for some time this year.  I myself was supposed to be taking it easy from a knee tweak [...]
Kyle’s Blog #1. I get wicked all over the USA all year long. Here is a sample of the things I see. Some photos will rule and others you could take yourself, but that’s a blog for you.
Even though X-Mas was a while back there is still room to tell this story. In late December Utah was getting some good dumps but with a really weak facet layer of snow from Thanksgiving, the back country was a risky game of roulette that many did not want to partake in including myself. With [...]
This past week I was lucky enough to time it right and ski what was possibley some of the deepest snow of the season. I drove out to Utah for a Dynastar team shoot at Park City, which started of with sunny skies and spring like temps. Once the team shoot was all wrapped up, [...]
