This year’s camp was a great success. We all had a lot of fun putting it on. The facilities and cooperation at Buttermilk were unreal. Our training venues were unbeatable. We had top to bottom giant slalom and slalom courses with a quick turn-around lift, a new boardercross course, a full length jib trail, and...

Missy and I were in Phoenix, AZ last weekend supporting two charity events.

What a way to end it atop the podium at Nationals! It was a great race today. A little hot, and slushy, more like wakeboard conditions than snowboard, but a great race. There were staircases in a few turns it got so ruted up! I survived for the win. Last PGS of the season. I’m...

It was a brutal weather day for racing yesterday for the FIS Snowboard World Cup held at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon. I survived the fifty plus mile per hour winds and iced goggles to place seventh. I felt solid and was riding fast. I really wanted to climb onto the podium, but got eliminated by Bozzetto...
