I had a sick kiteboarding and surf trip at the Outer Banks, NC. It was so much fun being back in the water and on my board again. The wind blew hard while we were there which made for great conditions on the ocean and sound. I did some fun long down-winder’ers on my surfboard....

Wednesday I visited the White House with the 2010 US Olympic Team. I met the President and Mrs. Obama. I got a big hug from Mrs. Obama; I like her style. The Pres was cool. We got a group photo with the Obama’s and the Snowboard Team. The President even posed in his best surf,...

Our 10th Annual Aspen Spring Snowboard Camp this past weekend at Buttermilk Mtn. in Aspen was a blast. Everyone had fun and improved their riding. We had a great group of riders, including about fifteen first-timers, most under the age ten. They went from not knowing how to put their snowboard on their feet and...

The snow didn’t freeze last night, which made for some interesting turns this morning. It’s supposed to rain tonight; I’m having flashbacks of Cypress. Might not be ideal racing conditions...

I raced a World Cup PGS today in Valmalenco, Italy. Valmalenco is one of my favorite towns. It was a perfect day for racing today. I got off to a fast start this morning in the first qualification run, finishing third, but I slid out on a toeside turn near the bottom on the second...

I’m recovering back home in Aspen after a winter spent snowboard racing and training on the road and two awesome weeks at the Olympics in Vancouver. It has been so much fun! It was another great Olympic experience for me. The race was a tough one, but I enjoyed the ride. We got close to...

It feels like spring break at Mt. Washington. There’s fifteen feet of snow here and it has been full on winter almost every day before we showed up, but it has been bluebird and warm the past week for training. We nailed a perfect week. Training is going great. It’s beautiful here. I’m getting my...
