A friend of mine, Angeli VanLaanen, has recently started a kickstarter fundraiser in hopes of raising enough money to complete her video project. LymeLight is a video following Angeli through her journey with lyme disease. Angeli VanLaanen is a professional skier and an amazing individual. I...
I have been completely sidetracked from updating this blog for a while now. It's been a busy couple of months trying to squeeze in all the riding possible before the season is over. I spent quite a bit of March and April up in Whistler with MSP. Here's a little taste of what we were up to.
I'm...
The Clik Elite Escape backpack is a mid-sized camera pack targeted more towards the consumer market than towards the pro market. That at least was before the pros got a hold of it. This pack carries like it’s nothing on your back with a load of cameras and lenses but for me, this pack shines as...

The last frontier.
Nice day for a boat ride to Haines from Juneau with the MSP crew.
If it wasn't for the chilling wind and the sub-zero temperatures I would have hung out on the deck of the ferry the whole way to Haines.

I recently was fortunate enough to head up to Idaho to the super secret Smith spot. I arrived in Sun Valley with Mark Abma, Sage Cattabriga Alosa, and Tim Durtschi and we headed straight up to the cabin. We were greeted by a slew of the Smith crew and planned out our following day.
In the...
The last two issues of SBC Skier Magazine from Canada have hit the newsstands and I have a few more photos I’m pretty stoked on that made it into the magazine as well as three shots in their first ever Photo Issue as well.

Despite the serious lake of snow in Tahoe, we've been making the best of it. I can't complain too much seeing as we had such an amazing winter last year, but we need a bit more of that fluffy white stuff. The week before I left for Idaho, my boyfriend Danny, my roommate Ben, and myself went out...
As the fundraising for Sarah through these stickers quickly took off, we enlisted the help of many close friends. The work was simply too much for us to handle, but luckily friends were happy to be a part of such a beautiful effort to raise money for Sarah Burke and her family. Shreddy Times put...
This summer I was contacted by the FIA’s magazine about shooting a feature on a land speed record attempt out at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah. For those of you snow people that don’t know what the FIA is, it’s basically FIS but for auto racing. I’m a car geek. I’ve been one...
I love this and I had to share it...Angeli Vanlaanen, friend and skier, has been fighting lyme decease and recently got the go ahead to workout. She made a really fun edit of it and it brought a huge smile to my face. I know how hard it is to come back from injuries, but lyme decease is beyond...
If you haven't already seen the link on Shreddy Times, with the help of Sticker Pack and friends, we've been selling Sarah stickers and all of the proceeds go towards her fund. Initially, I didn't know how big it would get, but we've raised $5,500 already! Today we mailed out a TON of the...

I have written and erased sentences for days trying to find words to express my thoughts/feelings on what Sarah Burke has meant to me. I feel strongly compelled to share this story. It says it all.
When I was in high school I followed my older brother to...
Brought to you by Shreddy Times, and a year in the making, I finally present to you, "Moving Forward." This story follows Danny Toumarkine through his experience with a traumatic brain injury. Watch as Danny recovers and finally returns to snow. I hope this movie is as inspiring to you as Danny...
