Next stop for me was good old Montana. This trip turned out to be one of the greatest trips I have possible had in my skiing career. I met up with my buddies Axel Peterson, Randy Evans to start filming for BombSnow magazine webisode series. We started out are trip in Cooke City, MT. It was my first time there and I have always seen it in movies and I have always wanted to get out there but just never had the chance. My mind was blown on how special cooke city was. There is one bar, two motels, a gas station and thats it. A small town but the backcountry access was out of this world. Endless spins, pillows, jump spots all with in 2-3 miles from the town. A short snowmobile ride to some of the best train I have ever seen. This trip for me changed my whole perspective on what I wanted to do as a skier. Once a avid pipe skier, now a big line, pow shredding, jump hitting animal. In what we do as skier's there is always a lot of pressure on us to do are best at what we do but we also need to remember why we got into the sport in the first place. That was to have "FUN." Getting this eye opening opportunity to go ski in the backcountry for two weeks really changed my mind set as a skier. I think people don't appreciate backcountry skiing as much because they don't understand how hard it truly is. If you get one to two shots in one day in the backcountry your hyped. In comparison to the park or pipe you could make a full 2-3 minute edit in one day. That's why I really commend people that go out in the backcountry and work there butts off all season to get the shots they want. I am so happy for this opportunity to continue to film with Axel Peterson and the Bridgerbrigade boys as well as to continue to film with BombSnow magazine for their webisode series. Here is the edit we created as well as some photos from the trip. Thanks for reading until next time.
