You?ll Get That E2: Best Idea Ever

Dec 5th 2010 - 0 comments

By the end of November, mother nature had us all asking, “Is it ever going to stop snowing in Duluth?” Perhaps complacency has lulled us into a state of low expectations, but this winter (technically still fall), has thus far blessed us with more days of snow per week than not. With our local resort, [...]

After a long summer, it?s good to feel the air getting colder with each passing day. I was invited to a backyard session at a friend?s house in late October. We dropped by Ian?s house last fall for an ice rink snow setup last fall too. With a hill and a sizable collection of rails [...]

Before this season, I had never skied with Colten. We ended up riding and filming together quite a few times this year. It became apparent very quickly that he was incredibly talented. Colten was able to stomp out rail tricks on command, and charged the biggest jumps fearlessly. He’s sure to become a force to [...]

Here’s an interview I did with the Vail Resorts blog buzz.snow
You can read the edited version here, but I think for the sake of brevity, a bit of context was lost and I sound like an asshole. Here is the original version I submitted where everyone gets the props the deserve.
Give me a little background [...]

So basically, I don’t think these giant corporations with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of R&D dollars can not build a god damn ski boot correctly. I’m pretty much way more awesome than them, and with a hacksaw, school scissors and some glue, I can make ski boots amazing. In all seriousness though, check [...]

Mar 29th 2010 - 0 comments

After spending three weeks couch bumming with LINE MC Tony Seyffer in January, I knew I had to go back and do it again over spring break. We started rounding up a crew and soon my car filled and we needed more spots. So, Tony has this girlfriend, Whitney, who has this mom, who has [...]

Mar 10th 2010 - 0 comments

It’s been a warm March so far. We kind of dove straight into spring skiing, and there’s no more snow in site. I’m being optimistic that there will be a spring dump, but the forecast is looking pretty bleak at the moment.
Park crews in Minnesota have never heard of salt. Well, maybe they have, [...]

Last year, on the way back from Marquette Mountain Superpark, Austin stopped at a gas station and got this ridiculously awesome tee shirt with an elephant on it. Wolf tees are going out, its all about the biggest land animal in the world now.
Summit Pro/Am finals went down on Friday. Me and Austin were in [...]

Before we hooked up with the man, Jake Strassman, to film our LINE Midwest edit, we putzed around with my camera and got a few clips. All the bad ones got blogged up, so here’s the good/decent ones. Shot 100% handheld. Thank god for the SmoothCam filter. Only a couple shots turned out funky from [...]

Circle Episode 9: STARRR POWERRR at Spirit Mt.

Feb 21st 2010 - 0 comments

Welch Village is the home hill of some of the most talented park skiers in Minnesota. It doesn’t make sense how they came to be that way though, because Welch Village has one of the worst terrain parks in [relative] Twin Cities area. Every year, enormous claims are made and the result is laughable.
Five Welch [...]

LINE Midwest > Out West Edit

Feb 10th 2010 - 1 comments

I spent three weeks of January in Breckenridge, Colorado. I made the trip with midwest MC Tony Seyffer, bumming on various friends’ couches and floors. We met up another midwest MC, Matt Halverson for a while and shredded the parks of Breck and Keystone for the lens of good friend, Minnesota native, and now Keystone [...]
