Since we didn't lose any power during the storm, figured it meant we should put something together. Here's some straight skiing action from Colorado to pass the time while we wait for winter. Nothing crazy in here, just skiing how it should be. Fun.
A recent collection of shots from skiing and other work
had a good time with friends. shot some fireworks, wakeboarding, shooting and hanging out
I wanted to do something a little different for an early season park edit, so I helped my friend share his story and get each other excited for the winter.
Connecticut, a land of high taxes, casinos and dreams of an NHL return. Everything is within a 3 hour drive; New York, Boston, Vermont and New Hampshire, but what does home have to offer, especially for a winter enthusiast? Winter in the nutmeg state usually provides more nuisance than enjoyment. 5 inches of snow wipes out a month?s supply of bottled water in the supermarkets. Drivers realize that snow tires would?ve been a good idea. Schools are cancelled for ?cold conditions.? Most of all, winter in Connecticut provides a frustrating border to the northern states that provide higher peaks, more snow and winter charm. Even when it dumps up north, the roads around home may be too icy to drive because that nor?easter was actually freezing rain for us. Why is it that we have to drive so far through hazardous conditions, when so many others can enjoy what they love right outside their backyards? The winter of 2010-2011 brought a record-breaking amount of snow that blanketed the state throughout much of January and February. Oddly, many of the storms were southern-based, leaving Vermont and New Hampshire wishing they had a little Yankee Doodle in them. Last winter reminded us that Connecticut still has a lot to offer. All it took was a little white magic? well maybe more than a little.
Trying out the new camera after work. Looks better if enlarged through vimeo.com
After a morning at Zero Gravity, we met up with Jeremy for a little cool down.

Part 1 of 2 from our trip to visit Jake at school in PA. Eric, Eric and Will made the drive from Uconn to Muhlenberg College to give Jake a well deserved study break. Our first day consisted of 10 hours of skiing at Big Boulder which has rails and jumps on virtually every trail. This also meant that all recreational riders join in on the same trails as well which led to some very PA-esque moments. We quickly got acclimated to the riding style of the locals and lapped the rickety chairs from sunrise to sunset and into the night.
We made our way back to Jake's dorm that night where we received a very unique tour of the PA college life. The next degree will continue with the tour and our final day of the trip at Bear Creek Mountain.
Degree 4 was filmed by Eric Leone. Special thanks to Colorado Ski Shop (coloradoskishop.com), Ski the East (skitheeast.net) and Mission Fitness (missionfitnessllc.com).

Degree 2 was filmed in the Killington area throughout the winter. This season lacked in snowfall compared to last year which made it tough to ski the woods. There was a lot of bushwacking and questionable face shots mixed in with packed powder and crust. Everyone knows by now how awesome gopros are and we were able to use them a lot this year which helped to film longer lines. Despite the lack of snowfall in the region we still managed to have some great times exploring new terrain that we'll revisit this year in hopes of more snow.

Sevenpair Productions presents 7 Degrees, a Leone Brothers series of episodes from the 09-10 winter.
Degree 1 was filmed for a day at Okemo in late March. It was bluebird skies and perfect temperature, yet the snow was frozen solid. We spent the majority of our morning doing rails until around noon when the snow slushed up and it felt more like spring. Everyone was enjoying the great spring conditions and Kyle kept pushing his frontflips bigger and farther every time, while Jeremy flipped off of everything he could.

A couple of days this season with will, eric and friends. We're all about pencil steeze and the dirty sanchez. Thanks to colorado ski shop and ski the east.
The only feature really worth hiking at the Killington the week before Rails 2 Riches was the down rail so we spent most of our day there.
Thanks to Colorado Ski Shop, Ski Sundown, the reps and the local Parks and Rec for throwing an awesome event. There were tons of skiers, riders and spectators that made for a great day in West Springfield, MA.
Can't complain about skiing in october. grabbed the handycam and filmed for ten minutes. just a taste of what went down that day.

Episode 2 of yardwork: longboard session and the usual random clips
6XL Group presents the first episode of Yardwork: Letters. Expect a new theme every episode every couple of weeks.
Uconn's first ever rail jam ended up being a mudfest, but it was a lot of fun and went well. We had over 10 truckloads of snow but it kept melting fast cause of the crowds and 65 degree weather, which we weren't expecting at the end of october. we're hoping to do more this year.
This was featured in one of whaleback's updates but i figured i'd share it again. everyone should definitely check out whaleback this summer or winter for a good time

Seven Pair Productions new trailer...sorry for the crappier quality on google
I know it's overplayed but it really gets me every time i watch it
Sorry for the choppiness and for posting a jibberish vid
So ridiculously sick, if you don't know who these guys are yet, be warned. they're amazing and they bring the fun back to skiing and show skiing the way it was meant to be
it's pretty funny how serioius they're trying to be and yet how they suck so much
i just threw some clips back to back and compressed it like crazy
there are a few shots that you've probably never seen where they are at killy or pico
