FWT Revelstoke Update: Legs Want A Divorce

Yesterday, another weather day was called for the Freeskiing World Tour. Seeing as I didn’t make the cut and that the conditions here are phenomenal, I skied my legs into the ground. With 5,620 vertical feet, my one non-stoper at Revelstoke, kicked my butt yesterday morning, but I felt strong and ended up skiing till it was getting dark(4:15pm). Hopefully my legs are ready to give-er again, because the weather is supposed to move out and leave us with a blue bird day!

Be sure to check out the live webcast on the Freeskiing World Tour Website at 10am PST

My mother took a few pics today with our little point-and-shoot, and with a little editing some of them turned out pretty good:

Comp Update… Finally!

I’ve been having so much fun traveling and skiing, that I haven’t found the time or motivation to sit down and write. However, after driving through countless snow caused accidents on the California highway, and then having to entertaining myself in the Nevada hell-hole that is I-80, I’m taking a day off.

I can’t believe that this season is but a few months from coming to an end, and that the first comp in Revelstoke, BC was almost two months ago. Now over halfway through the comp season, the 2010 Telemark Big Mountain/Freeride Comp in Alpine Meadows, California is also already over. This last comp went smoothly even though the weather and snow conditions didn’t feel like cooperating. I did however, have a major break threw, in that I was finally able to stay on my feet, and not get lost for at least one comp run! Even though a hip-check/slide would put me into the 8th spot, I feel that my falling/getting lost streak is finally over! Hopefully I can finally “have one” at the next stop in Kirkwood and show those alpine skiers that a guy on tele-boards can SKI. With three comps down and three more to go, there is still a lot of skiing to be had.

Josh Madsen from Telemark Skier Magazine also did a fantastic job covering the comp:
