I’ve been having a fun time in Vancouver! I went to the USA vs. Switzerland Hockey match on Tuesday. That was super cool. Nice start for Team USA. After a week in Vancouver staying at athlete village, I flew to join my team at Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island for training. We lucked out with...

I just returned home to Aspen this eve from a week of training and racing in Central Oregon at Mt. Bachelor. It was super fun to be back in Central Oregon in the winter. It was nostalgic riding Mt. Bachelor again. I have so many fun memories of growing up riding there. I had two...

Book your tickets – we’re going to Vancouver! I knew we could do it! I’m really happy. The announcement by US Snowboarding was official this evening. I strengthened my position with an eighth place finish yesterday at the Stoneham, Quebec FIS World Cup PGS. It was a fun, but challenging race yesterday. The weather couldn’t...

I placed 5th at the Europa Cup PGS on Thursday in Nendaz, Switzerland. We raced on the same hill that we will race on Sunday for the Snowboard World Cup. It was almost a full World Cup field at the Europa Cup race Thursday. It was the best training for Sunday in my opinion. I...

I had such a fun race at Kreischberg today. What an awesome event, perfect hard, grippy snow, an excellent course set, and a big, enthusiastic crowd. The event was broadcast live on ORF-1. I thought the level of riding was insane – everyone was ripping. It was cool to be a part of it. I...

Merry Christmas! I hope you’re doing well. I’m enjoying being home in Aspen for the holiday with my family! The cast on my right arm was replaced yesterday with a removable, softer version. I’m happy about that. My friend Mark Joseph made me an awesome new Exos moldable brace. It’s a big improvement from the...

My bags were packed and I was prepared to jump on the plane Monday afternoon, before learning that our World Cup PGS Opener in Limone Piemonte, Italy was cancelled due to a lack of snow. I’m bummed the race didn’t happen, as I love racing on the hill there, but happy I didn’t board the...

Friday I wrapped up a month long training camp at Copper Mtn. in Summit County. I had an awesome training session with my AST Coaches and Teammates.
