With a quick tow we were all styling on that first sip of beer well before noon. The weather clouded over as we headed out for the afternoon tour. (Another advantage of the sleds – a fresh feeling afternoon tour.) We climbed through some big old growth up to the ridge above treeline. (Which did upgrade me to an upstairs private suite for night 2). The snow was falling straight down with little wind in that serenity now pattern....

Recent edit from a trip to King Arthur’s in East Vail. Pow was deep and trees were tight. No slide activity a couple days after a big dump…what a day. Music provided by DDL Roundhouse

Another great run down Old Man’s in the East Vail Chutes. Surprisingly deep last week, currently on hold waiting for more snow.

One of the few riders out in Tignes at the moment that’s keeping his blog updated with videos. The majority of them don’t have time to do this between riding but huge props to Jacob Wester for helping out the world with the rider’s view.

We have a break today before the next storm is ready to dive in tomorrow. This storm will be a much colder storm with a drier & fluffier snow. We could see snow showers start as early as tonight ahead of the main storm. Total liquid by Saturday is 1-1.25 inches. Looking for 15-20 inches at the base and 20-25 inches on top by Saturday. This could keep snow showers going off and on Saturday and Sunday with several more inches possible....

Hey all, It’s been a great few days in the zone. My second run was solo timber falls, always a nice tour solo to get away from it all. Snow was good again, and is one of my favorite places on a powder day. Skied a Benchie left of mushroom rock in the choke. Wed was a great day with an unexpected cell dropping 7 or so inches of light wind fluffiness....

Headed into the middle and stayed due north all the way down the bowl. The MVP tres were another story. Overall a good run but with lower elevations warming on all aspects, the lowers are at times arduous.

Vermont is home to the O.G. (Original Gangster) of snowboarding contests. Athletes from all over the world were greeted by the rain and slush of an East Coast winter. Sopping wet spectators watched as their favorite competitors and Windells coaches threw down, despite the gloomy conditions. Thanks to all those who came out and showed their support! Congrats to the overall winners of the series!

Check out what Colston VB has been up to deep in BC. Mike Hopkins and friends at Revelstoke Mountain Resort from David Peacock on Vimeo. February 27th was both a dream and a nightmare come true. what a good friend! I was way too stoked to feel any pressure of being the new guy. We built a massive stepdown into a really steep transition on the side of some rocks....

There we met up with our G Mr. Mario Kappeli and snowboarding storyteller and iconic photograph Mark Gallup. We had four incredible days there, doing drops, cliffs, lines and a kicker. [Show as slideshow] Next stop K3 operations, a bit further north. There we stayed down in the valley at a hotel, and got driven up every day. It looked so nice. yo wear helmets when you go ride! All in all we had a blast, thanks to Monashee Powder and K3 !...

Short update… After talking over hours we had three plans going on. Zillertal, Austria Italy and Montafon, Austria. We chose the third plan and we got super lucky! The crew: Werni Stock, Ludschi (photo dog) Bob (filmer) and I! Suffice it to say, I was super happy to shoot again in my home valley. Before the guys showed up, I had already picked the spots we would hit and shoot at!...
