So today was the 3rd day of the Salt Lake Shootout. I was working with Jesse Hall and Josh Van Jura. We were skiing at Solitude and there was about 6 inches new overnight. With that new snow the mountain was somewhat busy and none of the money access gates opened. We were window shopping ...read more

Today was a bit of a weak day. It started snowing in the morning and was grey all day. I was at Snowbird and the mountain was totally schralped. I was shooting with Carston Oliver and Parker Cook and both guys still killed it and were keen despite the less than ideal conditions. Today was a ...read more

Particularly, my neighbour as a kid and now my neighbour in Roberts Creek, Mark. He always told us that if we didn’t fall or crash, then we weren’t trying hard enough. He was right, ...read more
