Radiohead - Chula Vista

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Radiohead threw down one of the best concerts that I have ever seen.  Tony Hawk sat directly in front of me, that helps put in perspective how great our seats were.  I could have spilled my beer on him.  Regardless, this show was great and I will continue to try my best to see these […]

LA LA land

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

I spent the weekend in LA. It allowed me the opportunity to check out the whole town. Residing in West Hollywood, we cruised to Venice on Saturday for a day with some kids from high school that I hadn’t seen in well over a decade. We got weird like most of the […]

antelope island

Monday, May 5th, 2008

The only island that is accessible within “the great Salt Lake” is Antelope Island.  It plays host to boundaried Buffalo and  Antelope.  Antelope Island is a Mormon masterpiece.  It has some of the most gorgeous beaches on the most salty lake in the US.  Much like the LDS women; they are beautiful, yet too conservative […]

Katherine turns 30

Monday, May 5th, 2008

My sister turned thirty last week. She did it in the fountain of youth, Park City. Her day was a powder day at Snowbird. It received 12′ of snow the night before and we were able to rent some fat skis for both Dad and Katherine. It was both of their […]

Jackson Hole Airforce

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Since college, I turned my head away from the east coast and began to idolize a new breed of people. Dirtbag skiers and climbers began to become my idols. People that pioneered into the backcountry and came back with pictures and stories of adventurous feats, I began to admire. The Jackson Hole […]

Vid Clips

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Some friends have invested some great time and money into camera equipment over the years.  I have two clips of skiing footage from their stock.  This one clip is of skiing in Kashmir.  There is soon going to be a full blown movie, so they say, of this trip to Kashmir last winter.  http://www.vimeo.com/682570
This next […]

Sundance 2008

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

For the past 4 Sundances, I have been in attendance. Each year, has been one step funner then the last. I normally don’t say this, but disregarding the skiing (skied the Canyons, the Bird, and PCMR), the events were pretty sick. I was definitely in over my head. Karaoke with famous […]

Ode to the Moose

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

It has been a long time since my days in Wyoming. I was able to spend New Year’s Eve at my old place of work. For about 3 years, I worked at the Mangy Moose in Jackson. I probably spent about 50% of my time in Wyoming within this building. […]

The Canyons’ Backcountry

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Bri Gault finally came to visit me in Utah, only that whole Chicago thing makes it a little delayed. We were able to rally and gets some overdue turns in the Wasatch. Backcountry.com’s Dustin brought us into Big Cottonwood Canyon from the gates at 9990. We skied three runs on a peak […]

Rockport Reservoir

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Some of the old clan got together for an outing on the infamous vessel, the Rogue Wave, on Rockport Reservoir. Inverted aerials was the theme for the outing. Below, you can see the Orson Porter’s Jesus-like hair taking a sidewinder approach to a back flip. And you can see Ross’s Wake Skate […]
