On March 14, 2020, over 90% of ski resorts in America shut down in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Millions of people sighed, hung up their gear, and wearily said, "Next year, i guess..." There were a few, however, who refused to stop riding. This is their story.

The 2023 season though my eyes. Hope you guys like it!!
Bummer way to end the season but I couldn't be more stoked on everything I got done before my abrupt end. I am currently in full time rehab mode and will be back stronger than ever with big plans for next season.

Turned Thirty this year, and even though the season got cut tragically short, I managed to sneak a few shot.
Huge thanks to Dylan Siggers and the Burrrlapz gang for the footy!
After an unreal first full season, seemed only right to put a couple of highlights together, HUGE shouts to the boys Adam Cooke, Luca Wasser, Jamie Ogilvie, and Justin Taylor-Tipton for repping our threads out on the hill this last year. Couldn't be more stoked with how it's been going so far. Thank you all for your support and we promise we'll keep trying to deliver the goods! As our second birthday is approaching we'll be making some big announcements and dropping more fresh garms to keep the hype real! PEACE 🙏🏿 #afterjamfam #afterjammin #ajworldwide
On December 23rd, my roommates and I ventured up to the McGill area of Rogers Pass. Waiting for us was 120cms of storm snow and a really jolly day in the hills.
An awesome line in Hatcher pass a few weeks ago. We actually were able to park near the top with our snowmobiles and only had to hike about 10-15 minutes to ski this. It’s amazing how close stuff like this can be with a good group and the right tools.

A truly wild adventure in the Independence Range of northern Nevada.
Private farmland and primitive barbed wire fences litter the nearby valleys, with the closest town over 50 miles south - separated by a seemingly endless sea of sagebrush and no sign of human intervention. This made accessing the mysterious zone a logistical feat: It meant sneaking through the private property in the early hours of dawn to reach the foothills. Over 14 miles of bushwhacking later, I had successfully skied the northeast chute off 10,440ft McAfee peak, and fled from the private ranch, leaving the undisturbed wonderland behind. Side note: old satellite imagery is often the only available information on these remote destinations, so to luck out with perfect snow conditions on June 17th, was just the right amount of unexpectedness. This one felt nice to make it back to the car safely, Gnarly Nevada never disappoints.
Cool fun fact, these mountains define the northernmost rim of the Great Basin, where streams off the east faces flow up through Idaho/Oregon, and water off west slopes run south until it’s trapped in central Nevada.
Short freeride ski film about the access problems we face skiing in chile made just for the love of the sport.
March 2018 in Tahoe truly was a miracle - it came in like a lion, saving our lackluster season with big storms and massive snow totals. Filmed in one day, this film shows different groups of winter athletes accessing the same terrain without conflict.
Featuring Jed Kravitz, Alex 'Shugz' Dorszynski, John Lauer and Chris Cloyd.

In November 2021 I was diagnosed with epilepsy after a recurrence of seizures. After experiencing a rare allergic reaction to my first round of medication I was considered unfit to travel and compete on the Freeride World Tour 2021.However, Just because my neurologist and primary provider have to closely monitor me while we try to find the proper balance of anti seizure medication doesn't mean I still cant go out and ski around my current residence of Bozeman, MT. Thus, this season I am doing a webisode series called Balance, my pursuit to find a suitable balance of anti seizure medication while attempting to ski as much as I can. Thanks for watching.

Last March, we teamed up with Estski on an expedition to the untouched slopes of the Mealy in Labrador; a journey of first descents and pure remoteness.

This video is a trash pile of Gopro and iPhone clips taken throughout our insane season here in Utah. Cheers to everyone who made this season one for the books! Till next year...
Tignes was unreal but gutted the season was cut short due to the rona. Here's a little edit from all of best times had. Cant thank everyone involved enough -...
The Dean's List 2, out this fall. Filmed on location in Colorado, Utah, and Idaho in the winter months of 2023, featuring high level skiing and a bit of snowboarding from some of the worlds best known and unknown shredders.
Tour locations: Telluride-October 6; Boulder-Oct 10; Durango-Oct 13; SLC-Oct 20; Gunnison-NOV 9; Crested Butte-Nov 11. and out online for free some point in November. Thank You Skiing
I didn’t hit rails, I didn’t spin, didn't hit big lines or drops... but I did come back during the season I was told I was not going to get to ski in. I had torn my acl/meniscus April 2018 and missed most of the next season. I drove back to Boston for the summer and fall to have surgery (by the same surgeon who does all of Boston's major sports teams)(((worth going back east for))) and completed the bulk of my PT at MGH and came back to CO and back to skiing during the big storm of March 2019. Luckily Colorado had a great snow season and I was able to keep it going well into summer thanks to Abasin and being in the best shape of my life from PT which brought on lots of hiking. This edit is mostly post-season BC, late abay days, choppy summer skiing and dog laps...Oh and some good times with the people who I had to struggle see shredding all season while working at the mountain but still encouraged me to work harder to get back sooner to shred with them, and that paid off. It was a hard fought victory when I first got back on skis after being told to hang them up for the season. Thanks to all that still made it an unforgettable season.
Entire season skied on the same Armada Ar7s

Shot during Summer/Spring 2020.
I had a lot of free time after Covid-19 hit so I tried to make the best of it safely with the remaining snow in Colorado!
Had so many great memories with countless friends during this time and I couldn't be more grateful. Here are the best moments from the past few couple of months.
Enjoy & Share w your franz :)
Peace!

Some of my favourite clips from the last week of skiing in NZ before going home.@4FRNT skis @Pret Helmets @Flylow Gear Instagram: @henry_zakookey
My comp run from the final stop of the Freeride World Tour in Verbier.
2018 Stevens pass its lit. I know Im not going hard but it might be worth a watch
Shout out Lithic skis check them out.
Well that was fun! This was my first time out to this zone and I enjoyed skiing it with a solid crew!
There are not many runs that make my legs burn 2/3s of the way down, but this was one of them. The temps ranged from -15 F to a high of 5 F and I don’t think my muscles ever warmed up. The snow was perfect cold smoke and felt like skiing on a cloud!

Season edit part 2 shows off all of the new tricks I learned this season. Second half of the edit was my favorite to make. Many of these were learned straight to snow, which feels amazing. Thanks again to everyone who filmed and rode! Couldn't have done this without the ski community that surrounds me in Utah.
