Ok, so I realize I've been sorely lacking in the 'new post' department....this past winter I totally just dropped the ball on posting. I felt like it wasn't very exciting for people to read about--"oh, guess what, we're sitting here in another rad skiing location, watching it dump outside and waiting for that window of blue so we can go skiing again!"--plus, I felt like a spoiled brat for

You'd think that after 23 years or something of skiing, that I'd get used to how quickly winter flies by, but once again, here it is almost the end of April and I'm totally shocked that winter is probably already over! (I say probably because you never know what the weather will do these days, especially because it seems like winter is just picking up momentum here in Tahoe! Also, I'm trying to

What is up with this time of the year? I swear, more shit goes down around the first week of April amongst the mountain community--it's heartbreaking. Three years ago yesterday, MC Constantinescu, a beloved Tahoe ripper and all-around enjoyer of life and making others smile, passed away skiing Squaw. This year seems particularly hard, though, with Doug Coombs' and Chad Vanderham's unthinkable

Whoa, am I sore! After a great last week or so in Norway and six days in Switzerland, I'm back home in Squaw Valley, and it's been an epic two days of skiing powder. My legs, however, can't keep up--the amount of skiing you can squeeze in while spinning laps on KT-22 is like nothing else in the world, and after being away from it for a month, I'm feeling the burn. Heh, heh. But I like the

I was hoping to wait until something more exciting happened to start my blog, but since just being in Norway is so cool, I'll start with that. I'm here with Matchstick Productions, hoping to get some skiing in, and perhaps make a movie in the process. We took a gamble on a zone in Norway that we didn't know too much about--we just knew there were mountains of some kind, fjords, and there was a
