Cranked some corks and other new learns this winter. What a blast.
Thanks to all the homies who filmed and brought good vibes to the park, backcountry, and streets around SLC.

Man, I really didn't get to film much in the park. Busy with work in the backcountry and endless powder days. An awesome reason to not film buds in the park. Here are some shots for you all to satiate the craving a little!
It's that time of year where the craving returns! Creating an ski edit has become a bit of a tradition. These are cuts from some of my favorite filming of this season.
Our first full skimovie "Late Bloomers" is coming this December. Featuring Stinius Skjøtskift, Erik Naess, Balder Gormssønn and Knut August Svisdal.
The Faction Collective presents their fourth feature film “Abstract: A Freeski Exhibition” in Co-Production with Red Bull Media House.

Here is some footage from our second pondskim sesh during the Summer of 2023! It was a bit ridiculous so I got funky with the editing. Let me know what you think!
Big thanks to James Deen (World Deece) for filming most of these clips and the quality narration. Also big thanks to Nick Van Berkel, Calvin Brown, Carson Krieg, and Gail Moss!
Short freeride ski film about the access problems we face skiing in chile made just for the love of the sport.
I feel it is important to share this accident on its own before the full descent, to bring awareness and reflect upon the power of mountains.
While exploring the Wheeler Peak ridge in Great Basin National park, I made a very poor choice on my descent line. The snow had softened just enough that I felt confident to observe this drop, only to find it was a frozen ice chute with no other exit. At that point, I was perched on a 55 degree frozen slope, contemplating hiking back up (likely impossible), or dropping the line which fed into the remaining 2,500ft long couloir.
After waiting around to collect myself, I straight lined down. I thought I could slow down quick enough, but shot out too quick, and clipped my uphill arm on a big bump, yanking me downhill headfirst in an uncontrolled slide within the blink of an eye. Instinctively, I somehow self arrested and came to a stop after a very quick 100 feet of sliding. Any more sliding, and I would’ve simply been going too fast to stop, headed toward a blender of jagged steep rocks. Glad to be able to write about this experience, and take away a lot as well. Gotta respect the mountains, pretty crazy how poor judgment can nearly cost a life.
My first season edit since 2014. A lot of the years between now and then, I was incredibly burned out on skiing. I had to go and find another outlet to dump all my passion into. It took me a while to remember what made skiing so fun: learning new things, traveling new places, and spending time with your friends. I'm turning 34 in a month, but getting out there on skis makes me feel 16 again. Well, for about 45 minutes at a time these days, the body isn't what it used to be!

A truly wild adventure in the Independence Range of northern Nevada.
Private farmland and primitive barbed wire fences litter the nearby valleys, with the closest town over 50 miles south - separated by a seemingly endless sea of sagebrush and no sign of human intervention. This made accessing the mysterious zone a logistical feat: It meant sneaking through the private property in the early hours of dawn to reach the foothills. Over 14 miles of bushwhacking later, I had successfully skied the northeast chute off 10,440ft McAfee peak, and fled from the private ranch, leaving the undisturbed wonderland behind. Side note: old satellite imagery is often the only available information on these remote destinations, so to luck out with perfect snow conditions on June 17th, was just the right amount of unexpectedness. This one felt nice to make it back to the car safely, Gnarly Nevada never disappoints.
Cool fun fact, these mountains define the northernmost rim of the Great Basin, where streams off the east faces flow up through Idaho/Oregon, and water off west slopes run south until it’s trapped in central Nevada.
It’s been another incredible season on skis and I’ve got another installation of snow stunts for you all! This seasons been an awesome ride as Montana had received the most snowfall I’ve been present for, went back to Washington and got extremely lucky with snow, and finally made it to hood this year for spring pass and it was truly all I’ve ever dreamed of. Huge shoutout to all of the amazing homies that I got to ski with this year, the ones who filmed a few clips, and those of you watching this, I love you all :)

Mitch Zyzelewski had his season cut short for shoulder surgery, lucky for us he used the downtime to put together a self edit with his clips from the past two seasons
Get well soon Mitchy

Great crew to be out sled skiing with!
My first hit at this legendary spot. Props to @leifcoopman for sending it first and stomping. I landed but then proceeded to sit down on the run out ¯\_(ツ)_/
Juice did it again.

(park skier don't worry)
Exploring and skiing a first (known) couloir descent in this stunningly under-appreciated region, with my life on the line on occasions, was a particularly impactful adventure.
The Currant Mountain wilderness rests deeply hidden in the Great Basin of Nevada, one of the most remote and “desolate” spans in the contiguous US. The oldest trees on Earth blanket the high elevations, delivering sanctifying life to the colossal 11,500ft limestone spines. The area is accessible by hours of driving on a (poorly conditioned) forest service road, and hosts no hiking trails, making it mainly uninterrupted by human. I had been eager to one day climb the intimidating ridge ever since I stumbled across it a year back while searching Google earth for backpacking locations. As this year’s snowpack continued to deliver, the thought of potentially hiking and skiing Currant’s face became a real possibility, and so the time came.
I chose this particular couloir on the spot during the ascent climb up the neighboring ridge, as it looked much steeper and more exciting than what I had planned. It appeared skiable - barely. At the summit, I climbed up a steep cornice (my crampons being my lifeline), and could no longer turn back. I then skied my first turns and triggered what ended up being a good sized fast avalanche, followed by multiple others I triggered on my descent. Skiing away safely after 91 turns on some of the gnarliest terrain felt surreal. Damn, life is so cool.
Massive kudos to @cnphelan who helped build my confidence in regards to the conditions. His crew made the first known descent of Currant Mountain’s east fast just a few weeks back and shared helpful details on snow cover for other line options.
And yes… I forgot my helmet at the car.
The 2023 season though my eyes. Hope you guys like it!!
Bummer way to end the season but I couldn't be more stoked on everything I got done before my abrupt end. I am currently in full time rehab mode and will be back stronger than ever with big plans for next season.
I missed last season because of shoulder surgery. Had an amazing season figuring out the new joint and getting back in the groove. Already looking forward to next season.
2023 was amazing. Chucked some clips together. Also a couple from 22 and 19.
