Well, I have a whole backlog of stories to post from this past few weeks of Canadian, Utahan & Idahoan travel. But, here is a quick update from my last set of venues for the fall, right from the heart of an Arizona winter.

I had the opportunity to chat with Channel 3 news here in Phoenix about ski bumming, growing up shredding, and how everyone needs a ‘Wintervention’.  Enjoy!

The road-dogs have assembled in all their ragged glory for another season of the Warren Miller film tour.  Lucky for us, WMEntertainment is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. Better known for its scandal-fueled football team or trustafarians down on Pearl Street, this front range town has alot to offer for some film tour new hires, especially for some Corona fueled crew bonding.

And speaking of bonding, nothing brings a crew together than a healthy bout of late night karaoke at Juanita’s taco joint.  Karaoke favorites were on heavy rotation, as road managers, emcees, projectionists, and sponsor liaisons all crooned in time (for the most part!) with the words on the prompt screen.

The video below is a snippet of our esteemed ‘Wintervention’ tour manager, Tross, belting out his rendition of Marvin Gayes’ ‘Let’s Get It On’.  Please excuse the poor audio quality; you should now that Tross absolutely crushed it on the vocals.

Ready for a Stillwater Preserver Mission

Well, it seems that the last six or so weeks of my life have existed in that place between ‘holy shit, that was awesome!’ and ‘wait, what just happened?’, leaving me in a fluttering state of mind.  Going into it, I knew my time in Canada would pass quickly, but ninety days flashed right on by.  The last few weeks were chock full of new experiences and wild stories.  I had a chance to ski from the summit of Mt. McKenzie and cross Arrow Lake on an inland ferry with my van in the same day.  I drank a boilermaker shot with some Canadian Legion members and skinny-dipped with fellow ski bums Leah Evans and Dersh later that evening.  I swam in hot springs – commercial and natural, with tunnels and diving boards, hot and cold dips – all around the Kootenays , from Ainsworth to Fairmont, Halcyon to Radium. 

It’s been a full two days since I received the best call of my life.  I was sitting at an early dinner in Irvine, CA with my mom.  She was planning on coming to the Warren Miller ‘Dynasty’ show we were playing on the UC campus, and we met up ahead of time to hang out and grub down at a café just across the walking bridge from the theater.  We ordered some turkey/avocado/chorizo sandwiches with side salads, and took our time to chat up a storm about all sorts of topics.

Caught this little clip online thanks to a Facebook page from my friend Marielle. The three athletes in the clip – Jonny Mosely, Daron Rahlves, and Jenn Berg – also star in the Warren Miller movie I’m currently MCing. The three of them showed up at the San Francisco, CA Palace of Fine Arts show and I was lucky enough to interview them on stage in front of about 1000 ski fans.
