It was a gnarly PGS race today in Sungwoo, Korea on a very demanding race hill. I think it was the most challenging race of the year, undoubtedly the steepest. It hasn’t snowed here in forever. The snow was rock hard and slick all week in training. It felt like Mt. Hood at seven a.m....

It was full-on winter in Japan. They haven’t heard about global warming there yet, tons of snow. The weather changes there every five minutes. It mostly dumped and blew hard. I certainly remember the inconsistent weather from Nagano ‘98 Olympics. The Furano World Cup PGS was challenging, flat light and soft conditions. I felt so...

We raced a FIS World Cup Slalom Friday outside Moscow, Russia. It was freezing, minus thirty celsius, felt like the North Pole.

It feels like summer here in Arosa. It’s hard to navigate down the pistes without destroying boards. I’ve had good training the last couple days and am ready to rip tomorrow. World Champs 2007 got off to a strong start for Team USA with three podiums in the opening boardercross event. Lindsay Jacobellis won the...

I finished 5th yesterday at the Steamboat Race to the Cup PGS race. I made some costly errors in the quarterfinals against my friend Philip Berube that cost me a possible podium. You must be consistent in parallel racing. It’s hard to come back from big mistakes. It was a fun race though, a steep...

I hope you enjoyed a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday. I’ve been relaxing at home in Aspen and freeriding a lot the past week. I’m recharged and ready to rule it in January. It has been a fun holiday here in Aspen. I’ve really enjoyed hanging with my fam and friends and getting out...
