In case you missed it (sorry, im slacking on the posting!) Here is the teaser and NS Article. Also, if you haven’t noticed, there is a dedicated TOO NICE section on the site now, look up and check it out!
Here’s an interview I did with the Vail Resorts blog buzz.snow
You can read the edited version here, but I think for the sake of brevity, a bit of context was lost and I sound like an asshole. Here is the original version I submitted where everyone gets the props the deserve.

If you asked what the most fun ski trip I had ever been on was, I would tell you right away it was my trip to Mt. Hood last July. That would also be filed under: craziest trip, scariest thing that ever happened to me, and would immediately do again. The big snag on last years trip though, was I...
So basically, I don’t think these giant corporations with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of R&D dollars can not build a god damn ski boot correctly. I’m pretty much way more awesome than them, and with a hacksaw, school scissors and some glue, I can make ski boots amazing. In all...

I spent three weeks of January in Breckenridge, Colorado. I made the trip with midwest MC Tony Seyffer, bumming on various friends’ couches and floors. We met up another midwest MC, Matt Halverson for a while and shredded the parks of Breck and Keystone for the lens of good friend, Minnesota...
