A weakend is a place of vacation and letting go. A weakday is a special place where like minded individuals spend years of their lives taking in some of the most beautiful scenery and expeirences. Mountain people live their lives closer to heaven.
I was sick and there was no snow...WHOOPS! Next Weak should be much much bettah! - iancomptonsweak.com
The Weak is over...Take a little re-cap of park skiing in the woods of VT. Tomorrow will bring new footage.
It was 45 and sunny as we sat on the first chair of the first day. The East has been blessed once again with an incredibly fun early season. Good friend and fellow Nordica team mate Jeremie Veilleux came to say his farewells before heading West to Cali for the season, so I filmed him and Rory for a few runs. It was great riding with you Jerm have a glorious winter in Bear. Mount Snow your great, See you next Tuesday.
A new Weak is here. Follow us at http://theweakblog.blogspot.com
See you Next Weak!
Welcome back brathas and sistas. This was a very busy Weak. Sent it to California again with the very talented Shane Mcfalls of the Traveling Circus. After spending some quality time in the van to and from Boreal I headed back to VT where the first day back I went to Sugarbush for a glorious down rail. I miss California greatly, the guys over at High Fives foundation are doing an amazing job at what they do, being friends with them is an honor. Make sure to fallow them and the Traveling Circus for those two companies are the future. Enjoy and see you next Weak!
Started out the season at Killington, VT then headed on over to Utah to hang out with the TC dudes in a van for a few weeks in Cali. Hope you all enjoy and see you again next Tuesday.
Andy Parry and Erik Olson drove from the West to grace the East Coast with the Tell A Friend Tour. Lot's of free gear was given away and even more pizza was digested. Thanks to everyone that came and hung out with us and had a great time. Then the cold hit, Evan and I did what we do everytime we can't ski....Play hockey. Hope you enjoy and see you next Tuesday with some more Tell A Friend entics. iancomptonsweak.com
I took a trip Back Back to Cali Cali. Once there I met up with the High Five guys. High Fives is a Lake Tahoe based 501.c.3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to raising money and awareness for athletes that suffer life-altering injuries while pursuing a dream in the winter action sports community. Hit up highfivesfoundation.org/ to see how rad these guys truly are. The reason for the trip was to host a High Five's week (Weak) at one of the most fun places I have ever been to...Woodward@Tahoe. Much fun was had and kids walked away with some knowledge and plenty of free shwag. Big up's to you Woodward, your doing an amazing thing. See you all shortly, -Cpt

A classic Vermont summer mixed with the skiing of the Nordica Hood trip. Thanks Evan for the shots! See you again soon.
A cousin to the pizza family we celebrate grilled cheese. Charlie Dayton and I took a few laps at Sugarbush and then I lost my groin on the mountain. Saw a kid named Micheal with some new Nordica boots and stickers so we gave him a brand new pair of OMW's in the Christmas spirit. See you all next Tuesday in 2014 Happy New Year! -The Weak Song: Grilled Cheese/ Cherry Blazerr
More nights spent in the van Parked at Killington. Thanks Dan for the parking space. Here's some extreme skiing down early season conditions with great friends. See you Next Tuesday for a different kind of Weak.
Skiing fast is an art form that both Jerm and Cool have perfected. Watch them casual cruise through the park in 5th gear, what good people.
What else can I say besides going fast at Killington. Damn it feels good, stay tuned, winters back/Theweak

I have been playing around in the woods with all this new snow and watching my friends rip around on
Many things happen behind the scene's of filming. You can get kicked out, or you can get beafed out. Enter a day in the life of trying to look cool infront of the camera.
Contrary to popular belief I am still friends with all the TC dudes...maybe not Erik so much after the prank I pulled on him...Anyways, Thank you Bolton Valley for such a wonderful time. The Tell a Friend Tour with Andy went off and they even supplied wood oven pizza for us... Soon after all the pizza was gone I jumped into my van and followed the TC dudes around a chunk of the East Coast. Here's some behind the scenes and the occasional prank. Hope you enjoy and see you next Tuesday.
We are all bound by the same enjoyment we find in going down a hill. The friendships are ones for life though years may separate the day you last skied with them. Every-once and a while the stars will align and old friends will once again ski down a hill together.
What are the days like when you are by yourself at the mountain? Whether it's 33 runs or just 4 skiing on a weekday is a whole different world. It's your world.

While kids were collecting candy and teenagers drinking and dressing up, I was putting on snow pants and clicking into my skis after 5 months of warm summer...Take a quick 4 min break out of your day and check out the last skate session at my good pal Lyles house and the start to the ski season...Happy Halloween everyone, Come back on Thanksgiving to see the first brand new Weak. -Compton P.S. Thanks Shane for the personal pizza's... iancomptonsweak.com
Weather your on Killington's slopes or your backyard, a smile can be found anywhere.
