Cold Rush wrapped up last week and it was an amazing event. Snow conditions, weather, and stability all worked in our favour. I had a great week, stayed on my feet, and ended up 4th overall. I was pretty stoked, wish I would have skied a bit better, but that?s the way it goes sometime. I?ll be on that podium next year...
After Cold Rush I went straight to Whistler. It?s been snowing like crazy, we must have gotten like 4 feet in the past week here. So conditions have kicked ass. Been skiing lines, hitting cliffs, step downs and jumps all over the place. I?ve been shredding with Charley Ager, Brandon Kelly, Mike Henitiuk, Bene Mayr and Josh Stack. Behind the lens for PBP is Jeff Thomas and Pete Alport and we?ve been getting some bangers! Pretty stoked. Anways, here?s some shots from this past week.
Bene and Chuck had a sick session on this huge poppy road gap. They were throwing down. Everything from massive flat 3?s to 720 pillow bonk 180?s.
Pretty pimp day, I went to shred some pillows in the trees but unfortunately the snow got a bit to heavy to make it look epic. So, I shredded the lines on my sled and it was some of my best sled turns I?ve ever had!

The boys have been working hard playing in the deep late winter conditions up here in Whistler. We are currently on a down day waiting for some more sun but watching it snow once again. Yesterday saw us build our 3rd large step down this week, unfortunately, late fog only allowed us to build a fire and chat. Anyways, the first one rendered a perfect switch misty 9 blunt, and a massive 1080, the 2nd saw some switch 9s, switch cork 5s, and some of the biggest switch 7s I have ever shot from both Charley and Riley. Pete and I have been floored by the amount of stuff we have been able to get done with zero days of planned sun in the last week. Each athlete has seen their hard work pay off with lines, pow, pillows & big jumps all going down. I am excited to see what happens on step down number 3 of the week....its a big poppy one!
