Trailer Time!!!
I’ve been getting really stoked for this next season: I’ve been having skiing dreams for weeks, I just found out that I’ll be skiing with Cross Sportswear, all of this years movies are looking sick!!! In addition to the movie I’m in, TSM’s “Hippies Punx & Misfits,” Im really looking forward to: Poor Boyz’ “Revolver,” Level 1′s “Eye Trip,” TGR’s “Deeper” fetering Jeremy Jones, Matchstick’s “The Way I See It” and Powder Whore’s “Tele-Vision.” In Case you haven’t seen the trailers, I’ve included them down below, hopefully you’ll get as pumped as I am:
Now that your stoked go check out Cross!
Wave Skiing!?!
I finially decided to take a day off yesterday and just relax. I was looking for some video from the 2010 Mavericks surf contest that took place just over a week ago, and while I was searching around, I came a cross a video produced by SalomonFreeskiTV that wowed me. Let me know what you think…
Early Season Update & Video
My trip to Colorado for some early season shredding is almost at an end. So far I have skied 10 days (about 45 hours) at two resorts. Snow is in the forecast and I’m so excited for an epic winter to start!
I’ve mostly been working on switch tele-skiing, tele-nose butters, and carving on this trip check out the video:

Why do I Telemark???
Besides the cliché half-binding/half-brained hippy statement: “because the turn looks and feels so sweet dude,” I telemark because it is a key to unlock the hidden treasures of the mountains and because it allows access the backcountry. Telemarking allows me to enjoy mountains, and express myself better than I could do with tradition alpine skiing. “Then why don’t you just A.T.” you might ask? We all know that A.T. means “Almost Telemark.” I feel that A.T. doesn’t allow the seamless and fluid movement through the mountains, that telemarking does. I believe that A.T. is a great way for beginners to experience touring, but why not loose that clunky heelpiece?
To me, telemarking is like using handwritten calligraphy instead of type: it’s more technically challenging, it boasts additional style, and it contains an individual flair unique to each artisan… Plus it just looks cooler. Duh!!!
