All my favorite clips from last year! @momentskis @roxa_italian_skiboots @flylowgear @prethelmets @shorelinetahoe @amplifiedfarms
EQUINOX - This is my life. I wanted to showcase what I do in the summer that allows me to be on snow everyday all winter. I’ve spent the last 8 summers fighting fire on a hotshot crew and the last 8 winters living the dream skiing everyday. It’s been rewarding and at times taxing, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
This lifestyle lets me, be me.
I want to give a huge shout out to all the homies who help film and shred in the winter, to the boys in the summer, my sponsors who help me out in the winter and @samarmanino for absolutely crushing it with editing and putting it all together
Hopefully someone sees this and wants to become a hotshot. It’s seriously pretty fucking cool.

EQUINOX - Super excited to share the trailer for a project I’ve wanted to do for a while now.
This is my life. I wanted to showcase what I do in the summer that lets me be on snow everyday all winter. I’ve spent the last 8 summers fighting fire on a hotshot crew and living the dream skiing everyday in the winter. It’s been rewarding; at times taxing. It’s made me question the choices in my life that led me to some god forsaken hill that’s on fire but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
It lets me, be me.

Tahoe got absolutely buried this winter. Hands down the best 6 months of my life. Huge shout out to Moment skis and Roxa boots for getting me up and down and around and especially to all the homies that made it so special. Back to work to earn the next one!
