It's the beautiful time of the season where there is not enough snow to open hills, just enough to dink around on.
I spent a day behind the lens in the Big Air Terrain Park at Spirit Mountain. Skiing by Drew Ahlstrom and Joel Tiburzi.
Currently unable to aggressively alpine ski so I went behind the lens. Skeirs: Peter Lochner, Will Smyth, Jack Kellner, Lowell Wolfe, Jimmy Holak, Trevin Olson, Ben Zins.
Was too beat to ride so I got behind the lens and filmed a few laps with Furin. Shoutout to 4FRNT for getting sticks under his feet this season!
It was their decision, I don't care. I'm going to make you watch my skiing. I can't believe this. I'm so much more talented than any of the other semi-finalists and finalists. On top of that, I worked really hard all season for absolutely nothing. I also work 4 jobs while going to college and being a stay at home dad. Balancing real responsibilities and skiing is so hard. This is utterly ridiculous. Level 1 only selects the people that they are friends with and it's not fair, the superunknown system is rigged. I can't believe I didn't even get semi-finals, do you really hate me that much level 1? Do I need to be trendier? What do I need to do to please you Josh?
A multi-format recap of my ski season with a bunch of special effects to keep you from getting too bored while watching. Shoutout to the Ski Hut and the Train Park for their love! Also, serious question. What is a jump?

John and Joel have found their human spirit at Spirit Mountain in Duluth Minnesota, just 135 minutes north of the Twin Cities!
Myself and Peter Lochner headed up to Giants Ridge in Northern Minnesota for the day with a camera and this is what we got.
This one goes out to all my woodchucks out there.
18/19 was a fun season up in Duluth, thanks to everyone who was a part of it.

3 seasons worth of 50-50s and tricks that involve 50-50s
h.a.g.s. newschoolers
Broke my wrist 3 weeks ago, options were surgery or 4-5 months casted. Opted for the surgery and only had three days before going under the knife. Wanted to make an edit since I'll be off skis for two weeks. Apologies for the loose tricks, this was all filmed in under an hour, in a cast.
