Interview by Jeff Schmuck Hey Geoff, what have you been up to lately, besides being devilishly handsome? Hmmm, not much other than kissin babies and signing boobs, the usual Meathead tour stuff. It’s been a busy autumn here at the Wanderland Ranch headquarters in Williston, Vermont. It’s been stellar. We’ve knocked out about 30 screening so far with many more to come. After the hometown showing we all had a few too many cocktails....
Interview by Dylan Anderson Obviously a question about YMR is necessary. Are you one of the founding fathers? If so, explain the group’s origin. I was around at the beginning, but YMR wasn’t my idea or anything. Photo by Liam McKinley You used to rock the generic tall look. What converted you to hesh-ianity? Turns out I really liked it and stuck with it. I just think it fits my skiing style and tastes a bit better....

Interview by Dylan Anderson What was it like joining Stept Productions? Joining Stept was pretty interesting. It was funny being the new kid in a group of real close friends. Massive amounts of inside jokes are definitely a little confusing at times. Overall, being able to join Stept was a huge check-mark on my bucket list. “Join east coast ski crew that murders nonstop.” Photo by Matt Stauble Favorite ski movie?...
It is quite a lot of freeskiing history, and the history is still in making. “It first started with the group of enthusiasts. Now PFO is one of the biggest winter events in Poland. Also freeskiing started as a crazy passion of the few, and now became one of the Olympic disciplines. We have many reasons to make The North Face Polish Freeskiing Open 2013 special. Riders visit Zakopane for many reasons....
The next feature film from Sherpas Cinema is coming! Blur the lines between dream state and reality, as you perceive the world through the minds of many. Into the Mind contemplates the experiences passed between mentors and peers to paint a philosophical portrait of human kind. What drives us to overcome challenge? How do we justify risk?

I mean, why let TGR have all the fun? Morning meet and greet. We took a water break by this little waterfall. I was treated to this nice view when we got to treeline. It was socked in for almost all of Sunday, but this was a sign of things to come. This place is really amazing. “LETS GO UP!” Yeah, good idea… Steve the birthday. Who needs a shirt when you have a one piece?...

Id recently found a new blog called TelemarkPark (telemarkpark.blogspot.com). The resulting turnout had freeheelers coming in from near and far. Some came from just down the I-70 corridor while others traveled all the way across the pond. Like any good telemark gathering, the Teva Games encompass so much more than just a competition. The freeheel crew mobbing through the park was really something to see. Andreas Sjobeckgetting things dialed in the qualifying round....
Features will include stair sets, replica rails, concrete ledges, barriers and many others.

Now, through the support of Monster Energy, that vision is quickly becoming a reality. The Monster City Park will be serviced by two rope tows and is expected to open mid-January. Monster will be throwing an opening-party. The date is to be determined....
