Saturn’s National Donor Day 2005, the largest single-day donor drive across America was a huge success. I was proud to host our own local Donor Day Aspen event at the Gondola Plaza downtown Aspen. I was joined by my family, and about twenty members of the Aspen High School Outreach Society who helped me in...

It was a tough weekend at the X-Games for me at my home in Aspen. I broke my collarbone in the Boardercross Qualifier on Friday. I had surgery on Saturday morning at Aspen Valley Hospital. My good friend Dr. Tom Pevny, same Doc. that fixed my knee in ’98, put my collarbone back together with...

It was a disappointing World Championships for me in Whistler. I was feeling fast and confident and ready for a great race, but it wasn’t my day. I got off to a good top five start on my first PGS qualification run and then rebounded from a three-sixty crash on my second run to qualify...

I’m in Whistler, B.C., Canada preparing and training for the 2005 FIS Snowboard World Championships. The World Champs are held every other year. It’s probably the biggest event in snowboarding after the Olympics. I’m fired up and ready to ride fast. I’ve been training with my teammates here in Whistler the past week getting ready...

I arrived in Italy two days ago and am now training and preparing for a World Cup tomorrow in Olang, Italy, the same hill I won on just six month after my liver transplant four years ago. Love to do it again! I hope you enjoyed a great Thanksgiving holiday. I ate way too much!...

We officially debuted our new book ‘To the Edge and Back’ Friday evening at The Tattered Cover Bookstore in Lodo. It was a lot of fun celebrating the launch with friends and family.

I just completed a week of training and racing at Copper Mtn., CO. It was a productive camp. I’m ridin’ fast and having fun. We trained twice a day for a week, followed by two continental cup races. I won the PGS on Monday, racing against a strong field of N. American riders and some...

The 2004/2005 World Cup Snowboarding Season has begun. This marks my 14th World Cup season. It was nostalgic packing my bags at home in Aspen a few weeks ago, departing for another competition season, so many great memories from almost a decade and a half of boarding. I still love it. There’s nothing like the...
