Desperately Seeking Wookies!
When you last heard from me, I was telling you about my amazing search for great pow. When my story left off, two amazing girls and I were night riding at Alpental. The next day we moved on to Mt. Baker, where we heard the snow was raging. My friend Mike Hardaker has a sweet place close to there and thanks to his hospitality, we shredded 16 inces of fresh each day at this amazing resort.

SNOW BUILDS ANTICIPATION FOR FREERIDE FLOW...

Desperately Seeking Powder!
What an interesting season this has been! After shredding Kirkwood in almost bottomless conditions in early October, we thought for sure that this was going to be a stellar La Nina season. By mid-January, we were breaking weather records and it was determined that this was the least amount of snow Tahoe’s history. There was dirt everywhere; it was super awkward! It’s 60 degrees out and...

Freeskiing World Tour Stop #3 Revelstoke B.C. by:...
As I left for the third stop of the Freeskiing World Tour (FWT) up in Revelstoke, B.C. Canada, I had the normal “mixed bag” of emotions; feeling excited, scared and nervous. You see, when you enter a big mountain competition it’s not all fun and games.
I mean yea, it’s just skiing down the mountain, same as any day right? Except, you typically end up in situations that you...
While Waiting for the White Stuff...
For those of you looking for something fun to do in Lake Tahoe with a lack of snow here are some options that I have come up with to keep me stimulated and sane.
Of course, shred Kirkwood! Chairs 6, 5, and 11 have great snow. Fast, fun and quite edgeable. Most importantly creating smiles! One of my favorite things this season at Kirkwood has been the airbag sessions, sliding boxes in the...
