North Face Open at Northstar

Once again off to another adventure on the road this time I headed out to Tahoe, CA. for the Northface Open at Northstar. This was the first competition that I did both slopestyle and halfpipe in almost 2 years. I forgot how much fun slope was an ended up making semi-finals and missing finals by only a couple spots. Ended up 14th overall I'd say thats not to bad for not skiing a slopestyle event in 2 years. Halfpipe was the last day of the event and it ended up being one of those days you always wish for sunny, no clouds and a slushy pipe! It was great to have my best buds there shredding this event with we. Fellow team members from Moment Skis Kyle Smaine and Sean Collins. I ended up qualifying 3rd for finals but just couldn't put down the run I wanted in finals. So ended up 11th which I am bummed I couldn't have done better but it was hands down the best halfpipe I skied all year and I got to see my buddy Kyle Smaine grab the win. Here are some photos of the trip.

Dew Tour Killington, VT

So off to the next adventure. Tai Barrymore, Kyle Smaine, Robby Franco, me and my coach Ben Verge set of to the second stop of the Dew Tour in Killington, VT. This place is by far the coolest east coast ski town I have been to because it actually had a town! So practice started up the day of Feb. 19th so everyone had a couple days of practice before halfpipe qualification started. Practice went well for everyone the pipe was running great but it was by far the iciest halfpipe I have ever skied in. Day of competition right before qualification I ripped my heal piece out of my left ski and just my luck I did not have a back up pair. I thought about using Kyle Smaine skis because he skis on Moment skis as well but his boot size was way bigger then mine. So I end up skiing on my buddy Tai Barrymore's skis, which where 180cm which are 2cm bigger then my 178cm skis. You wouldn't think that those 2cm would make a difference but it truly does. First run in qualification went pretty well but I didn't land my run as clean as I wanted too but still pulled off a run. Second run I told myself to just go as big as you possible can and see what happens ended up decking out on my second hit and falling really hard on my side. I was pretty bummed to see that I didn't make it into semi-finals but o well there is always another competition. On the brighter side I got to see my best friend Tai Barrymore get second in halfpipe finals. I think I was more happy then he was! Over all it was a great experience and a great journey spent with amazing friends. Here are some photos of the trip.

Christmas Break

So after Colorado I drove home to Sun Valley, Idaho for Christmas. Ended up skiing with all my buddies that I have not skied with in a year. Collin Collins, Karl Fost, Tai Barrymore and my little buddy Ben Parker. We had a great time filming and just skiing together it was a blast. Here our some edits we made hope you enjoy them.

First stop of the Dew Tour

My season started earlier then it ever has in the past. I drove out to Copper, Colorado on Nov. 28th to start training for the first stop of the Dew Tour at Breckenridge, Co. My first week of skiing I was a little tentative just because Coppers pipe was the pipe I blew my knee out in last year but all that hard work with rehabbing my knee really made it stronger then it's ever been. So the rest of my training at Copper went great being that its one of the best pipes as well as it having WoodWard at Copper right there at the Mountain. Being able to work on the tramps was just what I needed and being able to skate there too was a blast. So Dew Tour pipe finally rolled around and I ended up skiing the best I have ever skied in a contest, which was so amazing being it was my first contest back in a year. I ened up missing semi's by four spots but I didn't mind one bit I was so pumped I landed my run clean. Starting the year with that finish I knew it was going to be a good season.

Shred legs are coming back

Well it was a lot of hard work to get back to the snow but finally after seven months of rehab on my left knee I was back on snow! Words truly can't describe how good it felt to be back in my element. So being up at Mt. Hood Oregon I skied for a week at Windells and the public park with my best bud Wing Tai Barrymore. We had a blast so much fun to ski with him. He is such a talented kid at everything he does. Well from here on out it can only get better!
