I traveled half way across the world to Sweden for a twentieth place World Cup Finish today! I’m bummed! As well as I’ve been riding recently I was of course hoping for better, but it didn’t happen today. It was an interesting one today, hurricane winds combined with some of the most unusual snow conditions...

It was another devastating Thanksgiving Game day loss for me! That’s 0-2 in the famous Aspen Turkey Bowl. I’m at a loss for words. There was some carnage too! Fab went down with a pulled hamstring, and Dave wrecked his shoulder diving for a long bomb. There was a half foot of fresh pow on...

I wrapped up one of the best training camps of my career this morning at Copper Mtn., Colorado with a final day of parallel giant slalom on Copperopolis Run! It has been an awesome few weeks of training and racing for me. It was two podiums in a row for me in last weeks Continental...

We loaded the lift so early this moring to race I was riding up under the stars, way before sunrise. It was a beautiful morning. It turned out to be a beautiful day for me as well at the Continental Cup Parallel Giant Slalom held at Copper Mountain, Colorado. Sick snow conditions and classic Colorado...

Here is a shot of the Tenth Mountain Skier with some fresh pow atop his lid. Colorado recieved a good dump the past few days. Aspen is reporting more than three feet atop Snowmass. My Aspen buddies hiked up and rode Big Burn at Snowmass yesterday and reported epic conditions. I started training camp at...

I was in Oklahoma City last week visiting the Integris Baptist Medical Nazih Zuhdi Transplant Institute, sharing my Olympic and transplant experiences and promoting donor awareness. It was a great trip. I toured the transplant program with Dr. Nour, the head of transplantation at Baptist Medial. He’s a super cool guy. I loved his enthusiasm...

It was a great Halloween celebration last night in Aspen. The town went off. People really go nuts on their costumes here. I witnessed Teen Wolf dribbling a basketball through traffic and the hockey player from Slapshot skating high speed down Main Street in the middle of the night, as well as many politically incorrect...

I feel like I’m snowboarding at the roller rink; the air inside isn’t much better either. It’s definitely cool, but a little wacky. I can’t really put my finger on it. Part of me loves the fact that we’re in a totally flat country that never receives snow and we’re riding our snowboards, and part...

The FIS Snowboard World Cup debuted the new qualification format and new start gates yesterday in our first European World Cup of the season in Solden, Austria. I pulled a classic in the parallel giant slalom event yesterday. I flipped over the new start gates when I jumped the gun on the start cadence, doing...
