Home Mountain: Sugar Bowl, CA
I love my home mtn Sugar Bowl because it always delivers a good day and makes me a better skier. The terrain in bounds, natural airs, mini AK spines in Palisades, open bowls to shred, deep pow tree skiing or buffed groomers with flowing terrain to arc and feel like...

That’s right. This year, we are celebrating the Fourth of July in a way that has not
been done in many years. Due to the crazy amounts of snow that fell last season, resorts
such as Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, Snowbird, Kirkwood, Squaw Valley, Mammoth
and Arapahoe Basin...
Home Mountain: Loon Mountain, NH

Home Mountain: Mountain Creek, NJ
There is this place I love to be,
It just so happens its in Jersey.
I can ride all day just having fun,
But I dread upon the words ‘last run.’
If you don’t understand Ill give you a hint,
Ive left a couple times wearing a splint.
But I always go back...

Home Mountain: Mountain High, CA
On November 12, 2010, I arrive to Mountain High with my best friend, Michael. It was my first snowboarding session for this season. I parked, geared up, and got on the lift in under 30 minutes. As I sit on the lift, I took a deep breath. It was that cold, clean...
Home Mountain: Mammoth Mountain, CA
My home mountain wakes me early on every powder day with the sound of avalanche blasting. I have the privilege of looking out and seeing her womanly curves as the sun rises over her bosom. Sometimes I am frightened by where I end up on her; getting lost in a...
Home Mountain: Magic Mountain, VT
Three years ago, Magic Mountain was in danger of closing. Again. A small, steep, raw and natural mountain, it is worlds away from nearby resorts like Stratton and Killington. With mostly natural snow, no village, few skiers and a laid back if you can see it you...

Home Mountain: Whitefish Mountain Resort
I grew up in a small Montana City 15 minutes away from some of the best skiing in the country. Whitefish Mountain Resort, what was once Big Mountain, was a looming beautifully snow covered oasis of weekend glory. I learned to ski on that hill in 3rd...
