Powder Panic
Resorts and ski areas across the country have experienced an interesting phenomenon this season: powder panic.  Now, don't get me wrong, skiers and snowboarders have always had that mob-mentality, freshies-frenzy when it comes to new snow and chairlift lines.  People have been known to shove, push, pole and also to be shoved, pushed, poled in the mess that is the rush for first chair and tha...
The Bitch is Back
La Nina has been a cold nasty lady this winter...well, at least for the shredheads in B.C burrowing through their streets en route to the snow encrusted mountaintops. We in Aspen have had it lucky.  We haven't had the slightest issue with parking in town or with having to decide if the furnace room or the fireplace is the best way to dry your ski gear. Yep, instead of shred outfit maintenance p...

Quick edit courtesy of fellow Backcountry.com and Aspen/Snowmass team athlete, Chris Erickson. What a series of beautiful, bluebird days! So much fun out there in Aspen shredding with an amazing group of rippers. Keeping me on my toes and wind in my hair!
Trew Crew Posse Day on Ajax
Had a great time the other day with our local Trew Crew: John Pew, Casey Vandenbroek, Pat Sewell, JF Bruegger, Colter Hinchliffe, Parker Olson and more. It snowed 1/4in overnight and we took advantage of the freshies with slash-turn faceshots on every run. With this group, everyday is a powder day.  

Squaw Valley Freeski Comp Update

Posted By: Tats on February 13, 2008 in Updates - Comments: No Comments »

The athlete meeting went off in full form tonight, with all the regular announcements delivered to the mob of anticipation. Jim Jack effectively increased the spread on how long his speech would roll out. Clocking in at a hefty 18 minutes, Jim Jack made note of the conditions and warned against ignoring smart skiing. I think I just wanna be fluid tomorrow anyway…in other news, Dak is back, and he’s been missed. Good to see ya!

Breaking news!!! Mr. Aaron Estrada, the shredster himself, has vacated his judging position in favor of throwing down the big nasty in a comp run. This man can’t be stopped! What is he thinking…well folks, that’s for him to know and us to entertaining-ly found out. Nick Frey will be filling the boots-and what extreme boots those are-alongside the esteemed Jonny Manwaring. Manwaring, buddy…stoked.

Lastly, and please don’t get impatient, Mike and I are working on the edit of our Alpine Meadows footage from yesterday. So, don’t be impatient; the good stuff is on the way! Until then, stay beautiful everyone.
