Here are a few Powder videos I made yesterday in GTNP. Splitboarded 14 miles round trip, gained 4000ft vertical, broke trail the whole way with my buddy. This is the summit of Albright. Two dudes came up from the other ridge and barely beat us to the top.....they started out way earlier. We only crossed their tracks once on the way down, was fresh the rest of the way excluding our skin track.


Not sure how to embed them in this post without going to vimeo


Powder junkies enjoy

2 days ago went for a quick skin on Teton Pass. My buddy gave me his old go pro and this was my first time using it. This view is with the chest harness mount, next time I am going to put in on my waist for a more forward view. Traverse out starts at 3:30.



Huge storm coming tonight, tomorrow at JHMR should be fun!

 

Very Nice! Looks like a great day to be out shredding in the WY sunshine!

 

Anyone ever been to Canaan valley West Virginia? Is it any good? How does it compare to snowshoe? If you've been to both

 

I think Timberline West Virginia is there. I've only been once and it was fun. They only had like two trails open but it was better than massanutten haha, i guess its not hard for that to be true though. I've never been to snowshoe yet but supposedly snowshoe is really good for the east coast

 

Well got my board bag in yesterday. Dakine Low roller 165, picked it up on the house for $95+tax/shipping.(they may have a few more if you guys want, it was like $130 but they had it on sell) It’s really nice bag, and bigger than my board by about 4 or 5” so i have plenty of room for gloves,pants,jacket, socks goggles, belts, hats, maybe a helmet.(board is a 153) FYI the bag it self is water proof(tested it by pouring water on it and letting it sit for 20+ min) but the zippers will leak water.

 

Cased it on a little jump yesterday because I didnt know what the landing was like, and ended up stretching out my back (left) ankle and now it hurts to bend forward. Fack

I should still be able to teach but no serious riding for me for a little while, and just when they set up the brand new park too!

 

that sucks dude, we dont even have snow anymore it pretty much all melted last weekend

 

I know how that goes, I had knee surgery 2 years ago and this is the first year I can ride 100% but only for a limited amount of time I cant got 100% balls out park and steeps for 8 hours my knee just doesn't like it. Hope you get back out there soon. What resort do you teach at? Sun Valley? I teach at Holiday Valley, small resort with tiny hills in western new york.

 

Any of you northeast guys ganna be at killington next weekend?

 

i hear HV is really good! I’ll be there one or 2 days next week, I sent you a PM.

 

nice, i got the same bag.

 

Sweet man! I'm liking it a lot!

 

Anybody interested in a 2011 burton supermodel x est ICS ready with burton customs and ozones?



Got extra footpads as well. Looking to get 700 OBO. All retails together for 1300 and has been ridden no more than 20 times. Basically brand new.

 

Sizes of the gear?

 

loved my supermodel...board is retired now, but was my first powder board and we had some great days together!

All new terrain park this year in a new location with new features! It opened last Saturday and OMG its fucking awesome! 10 times better then years prior. Really well built features and really fun features. I progressed more in that first afternoon than I did the entire beginning of the season up till then with the temp park they built. The only downside is that they skipped the beginner stages of the progression. The park has a lot of intermediate and advanced rails and features, and kids who dont know what they are doing can seriously hurt themselves. Hopefully when I get a bit better and a bit more fluid with the park I can get a little video together of it. Im not that good at park, and am getting warmed up and familiar with most of the features.

 

Where is this at? Boxes are amazing to learn on and so are wider rails. That's what I learned on to help get over the fear of skinnier stuff. Also what's great about boards is that you can just 50-50 stuff and not have to boardslide.
