I am planning on uploading some more pictures from the Telluride event last weekend sometime soon, but here are a couple pictures from Snowbird on Valentines Day…I <3 powder.

Kris, not letting his shoulder injury keep him down

I show off the top of my helmet

Kris doing his best not to swing his arms like a madman

I find some random pillows

Ullr, I like your February style, keep up your funky groove!

Sorry for the massive delay in updating the Telluride FWT pictures, results, etc. I have been swamped in homework in the last week (only been skiing once during the latest storm cycle) and am trying to get done so I can ski some next week.

I should have some more pictures for Telluride uploaded sometime this weekend and I am working on updating my site a bit so I can post quicker updates in the future.

The long, nasty climb up Palmyra Peak (note the competitors in the upper saddle of the mountain)

Ullr, keep this storms system rolling while I am stuck in the Math lab please!

Reporting live from Telluride, CO for the Freeskiing World Tour. Drove here on Wednesday with Kyle Wehmanen and Todd Ligare (the Ligre) and spent yesterday checking out the venue (which is super exposed right now). Today is round one and I get the lucky honor of following two of the best freeriders in the world, one of which is a Telluride local. That should make it fairly easy to impress the judges ;)

Ullr, this may be the only time I say this, but why not take a break for the FWT event today and tomorrow?
