Leaving for Taos Extreme Freeride Championships on Tuesday. I get back on Sunday, then the Snowbird US Freeskiing Nationals starts up two days after that. This should be an eventful couple of weeks.

I’m going to do my best to post updates from the road. Hopefully it goes better than my Telluride posting experience and hopefully my skiing goes better as well.

It’s on like donkey kong.

Wait! Ullr! We miss you in Utah! It was 45 degrees today!

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!
