Conner Larsen - Takin' It Easy

Came across a younger ripper in the park by the name of Conner Larsen while getting shots for the Icelantic Demo at Snowbasin's Retro Day. The kid is super steezey and showed us how he's uses the Icelantic Da'Nollie.  I put this together for him.  He did a pretty good job for his first time filming with someone he didn't know.

Snowbasin Retro Day

Snowbasin threw its first Retro Day.  It was an event filled with crazy costumes, rear entry boots, and Icelantic Skis.  I had a blast and thought my costume was pretty decent.  Here's how it went down:

Snowbain Snow Reports

Recently I've put together a few Snow Report edits for Snowbasin.  They were quick work edits in which I didn't spend a lot of time gathering footage and had a quick day or two turnaround on editting.  I'll have another edit on Snowbasin Retro Day coming later this week. Here's what I've done so far.

Jackson Without Jared

Going to Jackson Hole for the last weekend in February has been the best decision of the 2009-10 season. As temperatures reached 55 degrees in Ogden and Salt Lake City, we ski untracked boot deep lines.

Since the resort was skied out, Trevor and I decided that it was time to go exploring a little further out of the gates than we've gone before. Cody Bowl's warm up lead us to go out to No Name and ski the face and down into the canyon. The next day we lapped tree runs in the Magical Forest, low angled, but fun albeit, and finished by skiing out Four Pines. The whole trip we only took 2 gondolas, 2 trams, and 1 chair ride. Every trip is different and awesome.

Something was different this trip; our group agenda changed from skiing the technical big lines that we usually ski to just finding and skiing good snow. Maybe it was the fact that Jared bailed out on the trip for a playoff hockey game in his league and wasn't there. Well Jackson without Jared was an amazing weekend and this video is dedicated to him to show him how much fun he missed.
