We received the decision today from yesterday’s hearing on whether I’d be named to the 2006 Olympic team. The arbitrator upheld USSA’s nomination of Tyler Jewell as the sole representative for the U.S. in PGS. I disagreed with USSA’s application of the qualifying criteria and wanted a fair hearing on the matter, which I received....

I was off to a good start yesterday in the FIS World Cup in Kreishberg, Austria. I charged the course and had a solid top half, but flew out mid way down and ended my day prematurely. I’m bummed. I should have nailed it yesterday, but it wasn’t my day. It wasn’t for lack of...

I’m in Austria training and preparing for Sunday’s FIS Snowboard World Cup in Kreishberg. I’ve never been more fired up to race. It has been three great days of training for me here. I love the snow and the hill. I’ve raced on this hill many times and have had good success on it. The...

I returned home to Aspen this afternoon from VT. I’m happy to be home, relaxing and getting ready for the holiday with my family. It’s my favorite time of the year. I’m looking forward to relaxing, freeriding, and recharging for a fast January ahead. Quebec went alright. The first day of racing was good, the...

It has been a great week of training for me here in Quebec, Canada. After a few weeks of pow riding at home in Aspen and a great week of training here, I’m ready for this weekend’s back-to-back World Cups at le Relais, outside Quebec City. I’m feeling good. I’ve worked hard. Now it’s time...

It has been an awesome training camp here at Copper Mtn., CO. It’s winter wonderland here in Colorado, frigid temps and fresh pow. We’ve recieved over three feet of snow in the past week. The freeriding is epic, the training a little soft. We’ve been loading the lift at 6:30 a.m. each morning in the...

I’m at home in Aspen preparing for our on-snow US Team Camp starting Sunday. I’ve been fine-tuning my gear and my training the past weeks in anticipation of our next camp. I’m fired up to get back on-snow and in the race course. I’m planning to head over to Copper tomorrow for some freeriding before...

Hope you enjoyed an awesome Halloween. I had so much fun. I went as Anchorman Ron Burgundy. Missy was Veronica Corningstone. It was classic. We were the local Aspen News Team 4.
