After a season full of travel restrictions, not optimal snow, and a series of injuries, the last couple weeks of the season went off in Colorado. Riding at my home hill Arapahoe Basin and chased around by Ian Zinner, we put a couple days worth of footage together capturing the height of spring skiing. Can't wait to do it all again!

Words by Arapahoe Basin "Spring skiing at it's finest, with Ray McDermott last season."

Skiing in the spring is the best! Big storms, sunny weather and long days. Join me for some pole flips, regular flips, and spring lines! Thanks to everyone who filmed, especially Ian Zinner.

During the snowy month of January 2020, a group of friends embark on a journey to the wild expanses of Eastern British Columbia. Little do they know of the fun and excitement waiting for them. This is a tale of great skiing, lots of hours in the car, food fights, boot packs, snow and most importantly friends skiing together. Also Flylow kept us dry and warm on our adventure, so check them out if you need some sick gear!

It Comes From The Sea and Stays In The Trees

The Japanese Alps are a pretty special place, the combination of culture, snow and terrain is so unique it almost doesn't seem real. My friend Daniel and I booked plane tickets the moment we realized that our winter in Colorado wasn't going to materialize into much. We headed for the Japanese Alps, and more specifically a place called Myoko Kogen. It was so much better then we expected, and so much worse. After skiing some of the deepest snow of our entire lives, we got days of rain and terrifying avalanche conditions. There were wet slabs ripping to the ground through a 3 meter snowpack around every corner. Right before we left, Myoko got pounded by yet another insane storm, while the sky went blue and the snowpack stabilized out. We had an amazing time, and I hope you can enjoy our video as much as we enjoyed our trip!
