First day getting after it after an avalanche dislocated both shoulders about ten days ago. Be careful out there.
"Why do you want to take it to the level of 'extreme'? Why does human nature drive us to push it to the limit? What type of extreme technique to you need to become extreme? What is extreme skiing?!" -Chuck Mumford (American Ski Actor/Motor Sports Enthusiast) Dive into the controversial topic, and take it to the limit with Chuck, OWA, and TanSnowMan, as they go "Extreme Turbo", or as some call it, "E.T"...

On our way to Banff, it was snowing so heavily we decided to pull over, next to Kicking Horse... Good choice. Just saying.
Wasn't as epic as expected, still some good cliffs to be sent.
Last Tuesday's surprise powder was followed by another 5" on Thursday and 6" on Friday, making for two fantastic days of skiing. Strong winds followed by warmer temperatures buffed out the mountain on Saturday, making for some funky skiing. Sunday was another storm day, with the resort picking up 8" and setting up what should have been an outstanding Monday morning. The weather gods, however weren't on the same page and coated the bottom half of the mountain with rain overnight. Rendezvous Bowl was still great this morning, but getting down the bottom half of the mountain was chaotic at times. And then mother nature decided to make amends by dropping 7" of blower pow for the today's last box. What a week! Here's a collection of clips from all of this.

SnowChasers is a project produced by Film Maker Chris King out of Seattle,WA and Professional Skier Tyler Ceccanti out of Lake Tapps, WA. The goal of the web series is to show not only the skiing available in the Pacific Northwest but also the routine of a long winter in the eyes of a professional skier, and how hectic a schedule can be. Join us in the 1st episode as we hit the dry terrain parks of Summit-at-Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass in late December, the backcountry skiing of Japan, and finally some late season powder at Crystal Mountain, WA. SnowChasers will air twice more during the ski season and continue throughout the summer and into next winter. Thank you very much for the support and enjoy the video.
Shots from this last week at Crystal featuring some deep powder and cliff hucking!
Ben Moxham and I hitting Vail Pass on December 5th. The snow was awesome
On September 29th 2014, I lost my two best friends JP Auclair and Andreas Fransson in an avalanche on Monte San Lorenzo near the border of Chile and Argentina. It has now been one year since the accident. I created a film to celebrate and remember our lovely friends. This film is from our last years together where we skied, worked and had amazing adventures together. We went to Chamonix, Norway and Chile. Andreas, JP, Daniel Rönnbäck and I started a project together called, Apogée, which means ? The highest point in the developing of something. The project was Andreas and JP?s idea, travel to magnificent destinations and create beautiful, touching ski movies to inspire others around the world.

When faced with an almost non existent west coast winter Lib Tech Ski Ripper Lucas Wachs didn't wait around for perfect conditions. He went out everyday he could, fog, rain, shine, crust or pow. Whether it was solo with a GoPro on his head, a white out blizzard on an early season kicker or sending big to micro transitions at Mt. Bachelor. Lucas skied it all with the natural ease and power that will soon be known as the hallmark of his style. Let Lucas' stack of clips get you motivated to get in the air, try a new a trick, have fun with your homies and most of all to leave your excuses at home!

A few laps during the storm Whistler had last week.
Riding with a chest harness... who said skiing east was lame :P This is just a slight preview of what we ski :P www.chic-chac.ca/
Hiked up for some hot pow then rallied a natural halfpipe
Shredding the backcountry pow gnar in Pemberton. Snowmobiles up, skis and snowboards down. The best.
