This Tuesday, January 17, Northstar is hosting the first live premiere of "Moving Forward." This video has been over a year in the making following the journey of Danny Toumarkine after suffering from a traumatic brain injury on January 3rd of 2011. Watch as Danny overcomes the most challenging...
January 3rd of this year marked one year since my boyfriend, Danny Toumarkine, suffered a traumatic brain injury. We celebrated by heading up to Northstar for his first day back on snow since his accident. It was so incredibly amazing to watch him make his first turns. I felt like our year long...
It's been a while since I've posted anything here. My apologies for the inconsistent blogging, not that it matters much. Anyways, with the lack of snow here in Tahoe, I've been on the road a bit to Mammoth and Colorado. Being home has been, at times, a challenge without snow. It has forced me to...

About the last thing I’d ever expected was to have a urban skiing photo in National Geographic. Well, that day has come and it’s a pretty cool one. It’s not in the magazine, it’s just their “Extreme Photo of The Week” but hey, I don’t care it’s just cool. This shot of Nick Martini at Powder...
This just came in over the interweb. Stoked about this one, especially since the shot is a few years old. Just goes to prove that pow skiing is timeless, whereas a jib shot wouldn’t be current enough after a season has gone by. This shot is of Hannah Whitney taken in Grizzly Gulch at Alta...
Last year was all time. I had the amazing opportunity to film at Squaw Valley with Warren Miller and it just so happened to snow pretty much all day every day. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but the video above captures some of the best days we had in our own backyard. Big thanks to...

On January 3rd Danny Toumarkine suffered from a Traumatic Brain Injury. Since then he's been on an amazing road to recovery. I've been lucky enough to be a part of his life and to watch, support, and cheer him on through out this wild time. I...

Things are a bit busy right now and I haven’t had the time I hoped to have to spend on the blog. I’ll have a few things in the next few weeks but for now here’s a few recently published photos in Powder Magazine this season so far including the UK feature “Carry That Weight”. Hope you dig it.
Last year was the first year that I got to venture out to Refugio Frey in the backcountry off of Cerro Catedral. It was late in the year and the snow wasn't ideal, but the experience was nothing short of amazing. This year, spending another southern hemisphere winter in Argentina with SASS...
Alpine Initiatives recently put out this video and launched their new site. I've posted many times before about this amazing non-profit that was started within the ski industry, but A.I. continues to inspire me so I figured I will continue to share anything and everything A.I. Check out their...
This is not a welcome sight. Like it or not though, it’s a reality. It may have started as a hobby and the cameras and lenses were more like toys, but if you are reading this chances are it’s turned into at the very least, part time work. That means cameras and accessories have gone from...
This video just never gets old. I wish we’d run into more guys like this while shooting urban instead of the usual suspects. Don’t do it in the park!
The weather continued to bring snow and sunshine, the clients progressively pushed themselves, and the Session 5 & 6 SGT video definitely show's what SASS Global Travel is all about. Enjoy!

After heading out to this zone with Skylar and Tony, which to my knowledge still doesn't have a name amongst the SGT crew, Pete (fellow ski coach) and I took a group of shredders, in the never ending search for powder, the following day.
It was a last resort for fresh snow and the sun was out...
