More comps

This is Taos. Not much snow when we got there. I'm on the hike to the qualifier.
Behind me in this photo.



This is a better photo of the area the qualifier venue. This is also where the first day was going to be but with a few more cliffs being in. The night after the qualifier day it started to snow and we had a weather day.

I didn't get any more good photos of the last day venue.
I had a great line planned for the finals but as I was making a hard turn to get over to the last cliffs I wanted to hit and dug a tip under some soft snow and fell.
This is back in Alta after the Taos adventure. I showed Julien Lopez and his filmer Tomas around.


Here we are getting ready to ski Wolverine Cirque.



Here's looking up at Silver Fox, day one of the Snowbird comp.

Brit and I chilling watching the comp

Well the third comp of the year and I took a fall at the bottom of Silver Fox after all the hard stuff was over.
I was so bummed out after winning last year then not even making the finals.
Back on the road again. Brit, Fireball, and I. Cali bound. Kirkwood or bust.

A pit stop to make some grub and check out the view.

You got to love Lake Tahoe.

Here's the Fireball getting setup at Kirkwood.

Day one of the Comp.

Brit havin fun skiing Cali with me.

Well it was about time I didn't fall in Freeski World Tour this year.
I finished 7th but wasn't skiing like myself. Might have been the nerves after all the falls in the past comps.

Much Needed Update

After ISPO I was invited to go Skiing with Loda and some of his friends.
This is at their home mountain, Dutchstien.
The ladders used here brought you over to the more extreme train.

After Climbing the ladders you walked through a tunnel on the side of the cliff.

The snow pack was very low and only the very north facing snow was soft till the sun made the corn skiing good in the afternoon.

This was a great day of skiing.
Just being in a new part of the world is good enough but to be able to ski it is even better.

I want to thank the Y Dream Production crew for loaning me the ski gear.
After this day of skiing I went with Loda, Martin, and their house mates to Salzburg for dinner and some night club fun.



Crested Butte

Here we are for the first few nights. We had to move every night after.

This is the Dead End chutes the area I skied on the first day of the Crested Butte Freeski comp.
I finished day one in First place.

Lars, Silas, and I making dinner in the Fireball.


This is day two. I was the last person to go in the finals.
I kicked of a ski on a rock near the top but was able to find my ski
and finish my run.


After my fall I was pushed back from 1st to 13th missing the super finals.


This is the results of my ski kicking off and tagging a rock to the side.
I will soon update more from my winter.
There is 3 other comps I have been in and many other days skiing.

Germany and Austria

This is the reason I went to Germany
To do a presentation on the Crossman Couloir
at ISPO

Some after hours fun on a slack line flipping out.




Some skiing after all. The snow was not very good this year.



This is the hike to get to some of the goods at the ski area we went to.
You had to hike up these ladders then go through a tunnel in the rock.
Pretty cool, keeps the beaters out.



That about all I've got to say about that now.
