I finished eighteenth in last Sunday’s FIS World Cup Parallel Giant Slalom, just missing the finals. I had an unimpressive first run with a more aggressive second, but it wasn’t enough to advance to the head-to-head top sixteen final. As well as I feel like I’m riding now I’m not very pleased with my performance....

The 2nd Annual Aspen Summit for Life 2007 this past weekend was a huge success. More than 200 up-hillers hiked Aspen Mountain and another 150 rode the gondola to celebrate at the Sundeck Restaurant on top. The purpose of the Summit for Life was to raise awareness for organ and tissue donation and help the...

Another podium today at Copper Mtn in the NorAm slalom race. Not my best riding, but good enough for third place. I struggled on both runs to find the rhythm on the top eight or ten gates of the course, but rode fast in the middle and bottom to place third. It was the same...

First win of the season today at Copper Mountain, Colorado! Today was giant slalom, the first of two NorAm Continental Cup races. It was a two run giant slalom race, old school style, instead of the normal parallel giant slalom. The run we usually race on, Ptarmigan, didn’t have enough snow, so we moved to...

It’s warm and sunny in Summit County, feels more like mountain bike weather than winter. I’ve been training hard with my US Snowboarding Teammates the past week in Summit County. There’s not a ton of snow here, but it has been cold at night and the snow guns are firing. It’s actually perfect for training,...

I got off to a solid start to the Snowboard World Cup competition season yesterday in Landgraaf, Netherlands at our indoor slalom opener at Snowworld. It was a lot of fun! I had two solid qualifying runs to advance to the top sixteen head-to-head final. The snow was rock hard, but grippy and smooth, perfect...

I’ve had a great week of training in Germany with my teammates preparing for the Snowboard World Cup Opener this Friday indoors at SnowWorld in Landgraaf, Netherlands. Last week we got ready in Botrop, Germany outside Dusseldorf at Alpine Center Botrop. It was like training in a mineshaft. They had a ropes course there we...

i had an awesome training camp in New Zealand followed by a fun week of surf on the North Island. After two weeks down South in Wanaka, I met my wife in Auckland to celebrate our one year anniversary. We rented a camper van and toured the North Island of New Zealand on a surfari....

Training camp in New Zealand is going great. I am having a lot of fun and riding hard. The weather and snow conditions have been absolutely epic. I’m feeling fast and ready for a great season ahead. We’ve been training hard on-snow the past week, 7 a.m. sessions. Sunday we took a road trip to...

I’m in New Zealand training for the snowboard competition season ahead. I’m having a lot of fun and training hard. Our team started out training at the Remarkables and Coronet Peak, but quickly moved to Cardrona due to a lack of snow. It rained last week and destroyed their bases. It hasn’t been a huge...
