I'll let this travelogue begin with my trip back to Madison, Wisconsin to visit the fam and do some early season skiing at Tyrol Basin, the place I grew up skiing. Here is an early season edit with some Tyrol footy, big thanks to Legendary Jackson...
Although I have returned from my almost 7 week trip to India, there is still the last part of our journey that begs to be told.
The story left off in Kathmandu, Nepal. We were hoping to take a sketchy bus east through the Himalaya back into India and onto Darjeeling, but a huge monsoon flood...
Where did the last one leave off? Oh yeah, with myself, Allison, my
mom, and sister meeting up with friends Zac and Joan in Mumbai (Bombay).
From
there we headed south on a tour of my childhood. We stopped and saw our
old houses, schools, teachers, friends, and villages (Panvel and...

The first India blog entry left off with leaving Delhi.
From there, we caught a sleeper train headed west, towards Jaipur.
Jaipur is a desert city known for its palaces, forts, and of course
it's camels and elephants.
Our first stop was the Hawa Mahal (Wind...

Although I was born in
Chicago, I spent the first six years of my life living in India (see
previous blog entry for photos of me as a kid). Although my mom now
lives in India, I have not been back since I was young, and this summer
felt like a good time to...
So, after I got back from our West coast adventure (see previous entry), I arrived back in Wanaka.
This is the van I lived in most of the time, yeah I lived in a van all summer. Sorry, no river near by though.
Sometimes the van would get taken on trips and I would stay in this lovely camper...
Whenever I travel anywhere, I like to make a point to see and
experience as much as possible of what the area has to offer. So many
people come here to ski and by just hanging out in Wanaka, end up
deprive themselves of some truly unique and amazing opportunities.
This being said, my friend...

To all you people in the States (and most places), this travelogue
update comes to you from the future. About a full day in the future
actually. Speaking from the future, let me be the first to tell you
that the world will not end tomorrow, and from what I hear nothing
monumental has...
Hood Update PART 2
So, the weather turned a bit nasty for a few days, and with my trip to
New Zealand growing ever nearer, we had minimal time to get in some
good skiing.
I got up with my friend Julie (who took all of the below ski pics) to
shoot for the remaining few days as well as...
Hood update #1
This first summer ski update comes to you from Mt. Hood Oregon.
After coming back from Wisconsin and hanging out in Boulder Colorado for a week, it was time to head West in search of better skiing.
Friend and fellow skier John Spriggs and I had been talking about going out to...
So, for those of you who think the season is just ending, you must just not want to ski bad enough! There is plenty of skiing to be had all over, but we'll get to that in a second...
First comes a summary of some European exploits with my friend Alex Applegate.
We got done skiing in...
Ahoy!!
Europe is amazing, in particular the Graubunden region of Switzerland.
Ill skip the details since there have been a number of front page news articles posted about the trip thus far that I wanted to pass along.
The first is a Freeskier Magazine article. There is a good write up and...
Hey all you blog readers.
It's been a while since I posted a real blog entry, so I figured I would give a quick recap on my season to date.
The season started with me tearing my AC joint in my left shoulder at the DNA rail jam in Fort Collins a week before I got another shoulder surgery on my...
Yeah!! Blogs are back on the front page. I will be posting some good
content soon with the usual nonsense. In the meantime, check out my
06-07 Edit here on Newschoolers.

All kinds of fun things for this travelogue update.
Firstly in the Ski department, BIG NEWS FROM LIBERTY!!
Freeskiing icon Phil Belanger has just signed on to join his Plehouse Films partner Phil Larose as a Liberty Team rider. Belanger says “Since liberty is a small independent company it’s...
I guess it all started out with the DNA rail jam in Ft. Collins. DNA rider/ judge/ announcer John Spriggs called me up and encouraged me to join in on the madness, so I unpacked my ski gear and we rolled up to Ft. Collins. I started to warm up and get comfy on the setup, and along with my...
The day after I got back from the west coast, I packed up and drove to Crested Butte and Gothic, Colorado for 11 days to visit some friends and conduct some business with 2 Plank Productions. But that was just the beginning of one of the craziest weeks of my life...
The goggle tan was still in...
