I don’t ski pow. Haha kidding, but probably the same. Interacting with the people next to me, be it friends or strangers, or Instagram. Gotta stay hip, of course. You mentioned the Yoke Spring Break Kill All Possums Tour last time we chatted. What should I know about this aside from the obvious marsupial murder it involves? It’s mostly a hunting trip, really, skiing is secondary. Aside from the tour, what have you been doing skiing-wise this season?...

Although several double flips were preformed and attempted, the judges were looking for style, amplitude and control....

Breckenridge: Home of the Dew Tour and what some say are the best jumps in the US. 7 Springs: Taking urban park design to a new level. Copper: Seriously Colorado…it’s starting to get ridiculous now. Brighton: The east coast vibe at a west coast mountain, what could be better.
It wasn’t terrible for much actually. Better than the west for handrail concentration and culture overall. Photo: Stewart Medford What inspired you to excel and get a degree in Journalism at 19? To hastily escape institutions, which may be a universal theme at that age. Tell us about your experiences teaching English in Tokyo, did you get to do much skiing in Japan? They have tons of snow and handrails and polite police....
Everybody knows the freestyle ski industry is a tough market to break into… but why? Is it because it’s over-saturated with brands? Is it because a lot of freestyle skiers are poor and don’t have endless money to spend? To be considered a “true” freeskier, I feel it’s important to know your roots. So without further ado…let’s get nostalgic. Siver had a good long run, producing high quality apparel that got people absolutely stoked....

Matt Heffernan is no stranger to the Utah ski scene. Got to ski the hallway in Days fork with 19 inches of untouched, that was insane. Every line I skied this year, once I got on dynafit’s was sick. Felt strong at the top every time, but lots of good lines this year. Hard to pick just one. photo john lykins Whats in your backpack on a touring mission? Down coat scrunched up at the bottom, gets chilly on the top....
