Summer Training at Mt. Hood
Posted by admin on / 0 Comments
I just returned home to Aspen from training at Mt. Hood, Oregon the past two weeks. I had a great camp! I was stoked to be back on-snow riding again. I felt great. I love the early morning Mt. Hood rock hard carve fest. The edges gotta be razor sharp and the balance on. I...
Kiting in Maui

I returned home to Aspen today from an epic week of kiting in Maui. I had such a fun trip. The wind cooperated and allowed me to kite every day. I had some fun down wind wave kiting sessions. There were so many turtles in the water. I almost accidently jibbed a turtle when he...

I finished 22nd at World Cup Finals last Sunday in Valmalenco, Italy. I felt fast going into the race, so was hoping for better. A slightly round line on my second run and strong wind didn’t help, but I did my best. It was a great event. I’m disappointed with the outcome, but sure enjoyed...
La Molina, Spain Basque Surf
Posted by admin on / 0 Comments
Last Sunday I raced a World Cup PGS in La Molina, Spain on a hard-core hill. It was a fun challenge. The hill is steeper and slicker than the Palmer Snowfield on Mt. Hood at Seven O’Clock on a summer morning, definitely the toughest race hill this season. I was stoked with my riding going...

I made a few mistakes in my second run yesterday that cost me advancing to the finals in the PGS at the Sunday River, Maine World Cup. It was a fun race yesterday. USSA and Sunday River put on a sweet event. The snow and the hill were in good shape and the weather cooperated....

Unfortunately I’ll have to wait ‘till Quebec for our next World Cup start this weekend. I was...

I’m looking forward to racing on the hill this weekend and hopefully befriending it for next year. I had a fun day of riding today at Grouse Mtn., above Vancouver. There was about five inches...
