It’s been snowing quite a bit this spring and I’ve been getting out and riding a lot… It feels more like winter right now for sure. I went out and skinned up the Village yesterday and got my first run in Corbets for the year… better late than never!  No waffles today!
The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort closed today after an epic week of non stop powder. It was a good vibe at the hill, everyone seemed stoked throwing a few more pow slashes or just cruising in costumes getting weird. I went up with my family and a couple friends mid-morning enjoying a leisurely pace. I took Mylo up in a backpack for his first runs on the mountain to get things started. I was super nervous at first but I felt solid with him on my back and he seemed to like it. He eventually fell asleep while I rode down from the gondola so it must of been pretty mellow for him. Lily’s brother agreed to baby sit Mylo so we could take a tram lap. We got right on and went to my favorite kicker line finding plenty of fresh turns and good riding. It’s hard to believe the next time I ride the tram will be in June when they reopen for summer. All I can really say it definitely left me wanting more so as usual I’ll be counting down the days till next season.
Good riding is a state of mind, not dependent on snow quality, terrain or keeping up with the latest tricks. It’s all about the people and vibe that make the session. Spring has come early here in Jackson and I’ve been finding some good riding, hiking, sledding, snow camping and just ripping slushy park and pipe laps at the Village. The skate park is now dry so I’ve been hitting that up as well. It’s a good family outing, Mylo seems to like watching people skate. Here’s some local action with the Bluebird crew…
I just landed in Portland after having a mellow flight home with Jamie. I was stoked to find free internet here at the airport. I had such a good time over in Japan, the JLA tribute show, skating, shredding spring snow. The people are so friendly and the country is really beautiful. Unique mountains and futuristic city skylines, Soba, Sake, Oyaki, Shaba Shabu, Yakiniku, Shochu and Sushi.  Roadtripping  Fresh  Skatepark at the Nagano Mountain School

I’ve been in Japan for a few days with Mike Parillo Jamie Lynn, Luke Mitrani, Tyler Flanagan, Ryan Boyes, Nick Hamilton, Neil Goss, Ruiki and Nobu A.K.A. the “ICEMAN”. We’ve been having a good time… starting things off with a heavy hearted vibe at the “I AM” “Tribute To Jeff Anderson” art show at the Volcom store in Tokyo. I was stoked to see the show and get up to the mountains of Nigata and Nagano.  Flying out of Jackson
 This Deer dropped into my line and sluffed out my runout Since Volcom’s Blizzard Bizarre tour blasted through town, Gigi Ruf, Wille Yli-Luoma, Luke Mitrani and I have been hitting it hard shredding and filming. We’ve had good snow, some sunshine, tram laps and many miles on the snowmobile. Super good times.  Gigi  Paying dues  Willie Yli-louma  Gigi
