I went to Revelstoke Mountain resort for opening day on Nov. 27, 2008. The mountain opened with 80cm, which is awesome compared to other mountains in the American Northwest. Revelstoke Is an amazing mountain, there isn’t too much for one learn on, but the intermediate, and advanced terrain is impressive. I had a great time and I can’t wait to see what this mountain is like with some real snow on it. I had an amazing first day skiing, but it seems that no matter how much I train, my legs turn to flab within the first couple of hours or so each season. Nevertheless, it was great to finally get some vert in; I managed to get about 31095ft in the 5hrs I skied. I’m ecstatic that ski season is upon us once again, see you out there…

As you can imagine, I was surprised to see posters up around town for a ski competition on August 18th this summer. Sure enough on August 18th, The DNA Evolution Tour set up their mobile rail park outside PK’s ski and sports for a summer jib-sesh. It was super fun to break out my ski equipment on one of the hottest summer days. The event was great, there was lots of music and it drew in a pretty good-sized spectator crowd. I had a great time, and I got a lot of respect from the other competitors for competing on tele-gear. I think I even invented some telemark specific rail slides, like my “tele-stance slide” which got a lot cheers from the spectators. At the end of the day, I even qualified for The DNA Evolution Tour Finals in Las Vegas, unfortunately I won’t be able to attend main event this year…
