Kauai Waterfall Adventure

I just got my HD camera, and I’ve been having a great time playing around with it! (especially going underwater) This is a fun little edit I made on our trip up to a waterfall here in Kilauea, Kauai. Hope you enjoy!

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:

Okay, Now I’m Done For The Season

Yesterday my friend, North Parker, and I woke up at 5am to ski a sick couloir on Hyndamn peak. With our skis and boots strapped to our packs, we started the 5mile approach to the base of the mountain. After crossing a river in the basin we scrambled our way to a small dwindling snow field, and started our 5000ft climb. About halfway up it became too steep to continue skinning, and we started an epic boot pack. The ski down was really fun and I’d like to ski it again in the winter, but the trek back to the car left us exhausted. All in all, it was a good time on one of Idaho’s most famous peaks.

The pictures below are from my cell phone, not the best quality but pretty good:

Kjell Ellefson Comeback

My good friend and fellow telemark skier, Kjell Ellefson, put out a self edit last night. He was out of commission last season due an injury, but I think it’s safe to say that he was back this year charging harder than ever! Personally, I think that he is one of the most talented and progressive telemark skiers out there today. Please watch the video below to see what I’m talking about:

Gaper Day

The last day of the season is always Gaper Day, and with a group that reached 60+ people this Gaperday was truly epic! What is a gaper you might ask?

If you live in a ski town, you deal with them everyday. If you own a season pass, they’re destined to get in your way. And, if you only ride a few times a year, you might be among their ranks.
They’re the people in neon one-piece suits and rear-entry boots standing in the middle of the run, taking pictures of the resort. They’re the people who refuse to buy fat skis and Gor-Tex-enhanced clothing. To you they might be known as Uncle Phil and Aunt Bunny, but to most people they’re known as gapers. -Powder Mag

The Picture Gallery below describes the epic-ness i can’t quite put into words:

I’m Back In Reality But Not All The Way..

I’ve been physically back in Sun Valley for a few days now, but I think I’m mentally still in Alaska. Even today as I got ready to ski at the resort, I put on my beacon and my avy-pack with out even thinking, then I remembered, and felt like a a dork as I walked back to the condo to take them off… Then, even though the mountain was empty and the snow was awesome, the skiing felt droll, nothing felt steep or exciting… Oh well, I’ll get back into the swing of things eventually…

Here are some Pictures form the last two days of the trip:
