Day two of the Red Bull Cold Rush in Silverton Mountain was the slopestyle day. There were four jumps built and ready to go. I left my backpack with my camera at the top of the course so I didn't get many photos, but the video is above.
Greg, Tess, and I skinned up Kendall Mountain in Silverton yesterday. With most of the action from the contest gone, this place is pretty quiet. Skiing is about the only left to do. Above is Greg checking out our destination from town.

Day one of the Red Bull Coldrush kicked off on the 14th of March in Silverton Mountain, CO. The venue had two main sections of which to chose from.
This is Pequenos 1, 2, and 3. Most people skied this zone.
This zone was the alternative called, Gnar. I skied the main couloir that slants to...
After a few weeks of good snow in Tahoe, I hoped a plane to North Conway, NH. There was a big fundraiser for Danny that was incredibly successful. His brother Conor, Tommy J, and a few others set up a great event.
One of the first places I went to upon my arrival in North Conway was Glen...
I went to Squaw one day to get some turns and after waiting in line for far too long I decided to call my roommate Nicki and head out for a hike. She hadn't used her split board yet and the conditions were all time. We went out with by friend Ming and got some of the best turns of my season...
My last entry was on March 5th and I said that I would write more and it is now March 19th with no entries in between. I guess my priorities have changed and I've spent less time around my computer. After sitting in a hospital for over a month with a lot of time to be on your computer, the last...
There's something about waking up early to a perfect bluebird day and driving to the hill that I really love. This is me, Lasse and Gabs doing just that!
Today, or i guess yesterday here in Norway. It's exactly 3 weeks and one day since my operation and I was able to ski pretty hard today. I...
I've had my eye on this event ever since it's inception a few years back. It's always stood out as one of the most appealing contests in terms of participation, creativeness and, cliche but true, progressiveness. If unfamiliar with the Red Bull Cold Rush, pretty much what they do is take a...
Thursday I had my first day back on skis after my operation. Just started out with some turns and straight airs over the smallest jumps but I get to go out in the snow and breathe some fresh air. The knee isen't a 100 % but after all it's only two weeks since the operation.
This weekend I...

We have a pretty epic view from the hotel room in Tokyo I’ve been staying at for the last four days. Tonight was the best sunset of the four days to say the least. Unfortunately, our crew is leaving tomorrow. I’ll have an update in the next few days.
There have been talks of the Surface film, Walks of Life, floating around for a couple years now. I think a teaser was even made at some point a few years back. But, last fall I started getting little glimpses of the aloof final product from Surface's buddy, Paul Braunstein. After a few weeks...

When I went up to Åre for JOSS last year I had a broken collar bone. obviously I couldn´t ski and neither did colby, so this video brought back a lot of good memories from pretty much the funiest week of my life. It´s mainly Jon and Colby´s video but I...

I thought I posted this a while ago, but I guess I didn´t
I had surgery two days ago. I decided to take care of my MCL now, eventhough I could ski, jump and do tricks I couldn´t ski 100% and what´s the point of that?
The surgery...
January in Utah was a little slow. Not many storms came through and the couple that did brought some warm temps and rain (something us skiers absolutely love in the middle of winter...). February has been more promising thus far. The nice rain-crust layer seems to be sinking beneath our feet and...
