*Courtesy of The Red BulletinJosh Knox, video blogger for skiing superstar Jon Olsson, spills the beans of working behind the scenes with Sweden's King of Snow and his Super Sessions...Spring is the busiest time of year for snowsports. After a season of chasing contest results and fresh powder across the globe, the pressure's on the pros to nail new tricks and podium places in these last few weeks. With his Super Sessions and Invitational events, filming his ski documentary The Life I Live and a daily video-blog on the go, superstar skier Jon Olsson knows the pressures of finishing projects before the snow melts. A pioneer of new school skiing (inventing several double flip tricks) and Swedish Elle's sexiest man, Olsson holds nine Winter X-Games medals, set up the North American Open with Simon Dumont, and the Swedish Open.

I was pleasantly surprised to find fantastic web-service out here, so to pass the time I’ve whipped up a quick travel recap. Bethel-Boston-Denver-Boulder-Denver-Seattle-Vancouver-Whistler. Pretty good! Tune in this week; I’ll be blogging up a storm about the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival. Boston: Seattle:
