It’s been well over a month since I’ve posted anything on here (my longest absence since starting this blog 4 years ago) so I’m going to briefly pretend to address it and then just post cool skiing stuff.
Addressing my absence: I’m busy. I have a lot of school work. It kinda sucks. Computer science isn’t the fluffy ‘soft science’ major I was originally led to believe.
In a perfect world, I’d get to update this website everyday.
…but in a perfect world I’d also get to ski pow everyday, never have to do homework and not have to stay at least 500 yards away from Natalie Portman to avoid being arrested.
Unfortunately, this isn’t a perfect world.
Past that:
February
Telluride, CO. Stop #3 on the World Freeskiing Tour. Showed up, hit a sweet line that was a bit too pussy and ended up on the bubble for finals, but the wrong side.
On the (+) I became super famous.

Kinda cool or whatever. That pretty much covers February. I fell real bad after I got back and tore the binding out of one my skis and hurt my neck. Then I did a bunch of homework. Then it was March.
March
Kirkwood had some sweet snow, but I never really got to look at the venue for the competition due to its closure for avalanche conditions [/excuses], so I kinda screwed myself. But, I snagged a bunch of T-Shirts and got an awesome speeding ticket while driving out so it wasn’t a total loss.
Now
I’ve been shooting a bunch of sunshine skiing footage and plan to make a compilation of Little Cottonwood Canyon’s best groomed runs soon. Seriously. There will be video soon. I’m also going to try and resume making this site my priority over school work because the computer lab is boring.
Also. Nik (Pearled Barley) is weird. Audiobooks + HelmetCam footage = the future.
