Tandadalen, Sweden World Cup 2003
Posted by admin on / 0 Comments
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...
Turkey Bowl 2003
Posted by admin on / 0 Comments
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 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...
Halloween in Aspen and Speaking in New York
Posted by admin on / 0 Comments
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...
Landgraaf, Netherlands

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...
