AK Comp Update #2

I’m exhausted from today so I’m quoting Brooke…

“Everyone killed it today on the headwall at Alyeska Resort! Huge kudos go out to star telemark athletes: Paul Kimbrough, Jake Sakson and Conor Davis who hiked the Headwall (A HUGE STEEP FACE) FOUR times to compete in two runs tele and two runs alpine (on tele gear) and all three are advancing to the super-finals tomorrow in both disciplines! Way to represent for our sport!” -Brooke Edwards

AK Comp Update #1

I’ve been in Alaska for three days now, the skiing has been good, but this morning we woke up to a foot of new snow up top. After a great breakfast, Jake Sakson, Paul Kimbrough (Who drove their modified ski-bum ambulance form Colorado) and I went to go shred Alyeska resort. We met up with the rest of the Tele Crew: Paige Brady, Corky Still, Candy Froerer, Dave Magoffin, etc… The snow got to be a little heavy down low but we still had a sick day! Comp Run tomorrow morning and we’re all super stoked to ski some AK mountain niceness.

Jake Sakson's ski-bum ambulance, it runs on grease!!!

Hanging Out In The SLC Airport

It has been a crazy season, it seem as though I’ve been everywhere but home lately. I did have five days in Sun Valley in between Kirkwood and Crested Butte, but it seems that all my time goes into working hard to pay for the next adventure. Speaking of which, I’m currently sitting in the Salt Lake City Airport waiting to get on a plane headed for Alaska! I’m going to be competing in the World Extreme Freeskiing Telemark Championships in Alyeska, and I’ve been invited to go on a yurt trip to film with Telemark Skier Magazine after the comp. I’ll try to update as the adventure continues depending on my internet situation…
