I’m in Bad Gastein, Austria getting ready for Two World Cup Slaloms Wednesday and Thursday and a Europa Cup Slalom on Friday. There’s still not much snow here and it’s too warm to blow, but the organizer remain confident they can pull off the races beginning Wednesday. I seems cold enough to make snow, but...

I raced a FIS World Cup PGS today in Olang, Italy, one of my favorite race hills. I won here just six months after my liver transpalnt in 2001; it’s a special place for me. Unfortunately I didn’t find the podium today. I had a solid first run, but got off track in the second...

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday. I have so much to be thankful for. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. My bro’s and their families are in Aspen to celebrate with us. Today I played in the annual Turkey bowl football game at Wagner field in downtown Aspen....

I’m training hard at Copper Mtn. I enjoyed my thirty-fourth birthday yesterday by railing fast turns in the course. I’m still lovin’ it. The conditions are epic. We got dumped on in Colorado last week, but it has been cold and dry since, so the snow couldn’t be more epic for carving. I’ve been training...

I finished 21st at the FIS World Cup PGS race on Sunday in Soelden, Austria. It was a fun race. The conditions and weather were perfect. I wanted to be on the podum of course, but am o.k. with my finish. Nine weeks after breaking my ankle and limited training on my new gear didn’t...

Training is going great in Soelden. I’m ready to rip this weekend. The snow and training conditions on top of the mountain are epic. It’s super crowded and littered with rocks on the lower part of the mountain, but perfect man-made super grip on top. It’s sick carving conditions. Hard to believe they are making...

I finished sixteenth in the slalom indoor World Cup opener on Friday in Landgraaf, Netherlands. I was stoked to be in the final and ride solid. Of course I wanted to win, but after breaking my tibia just eight weeks ago in a training crash at Mt. Hood, I’m happy to be back. I got...

Another World Cup snowboarding season begins. I’m in Landgraaf, Netherlands training and preparing for the World Cup opener tomorrow, Friday Oct. 13th. I’m riding well and excited to kick off the competitive season. I broke my ankle eight weeks ago in a training crash at Mt. Hood. It is healed and ready to go, just...

We finally got hitched. Missy and I got married Sept. 16th in Sisters, Oregon. It was an awesome party. Thank you to all of our friends who joined us to celebrate. It was worth the wait after twelve years. Thank you to our friends and family that helped make it happen. It was cool parting...
