Changing Pace
Tweet A week ago, I was surfing in Bali with five of the best girls I could wish to go on vacation with, Saturday, I basked in the Salt Lake sun on my mountain bike, and Monday, I skied ten inches of powder at Snowbird. The crazy variety in my playing isn’t the only thing …read the rest

A Fresh Prospect
Tweet The snow is falling, I’ve got two days of skiing under my belt, and the stoke is high at Alta. But instead of getting my competition schedule and setting my clock for registration, I’m looking in the opposite direction. This season, I won’t be throwing myself down solid venues searching for a line score …read the rest
30 Resorts in 30 Days

Bluebird at the Bird!

We loaded the 7 …read the rest
Happiness
Tweet I woke up this morning exhausted, it hasn’t stopped snowing, and I haven’t stopped working all week, and yet I still can’t say no the mountain. Thank god I didn’t say no. Andy and I headed up to Snowbird first thing this morning to see if we could “find” any pow left over from …read the rest
Odds
Tweet I’ve been welcomed home by the friends that I missed when I was in California, and definitely took for granted before I left. I never realized how important my family in SLC has become to me until I was removed from them for three months during my internship. Today, however, reminds me to love …read the rest
