It has been several months in the works, but Weston D and I have finally released the beginnings of our new project, The Life Unbound.
The Life Unbound is a web series based around the experiences that have brought Weston and I together and which perpetuate our desire to continue reaching for our dreams.
Each 3-5 min Webisode will be jammed packed with imagery, action, and adventures that evoke a sense of what it takes to live the Big Mountain life style. From skiing epic big mountain lines, to down days, and night jobs we go beyond the glossy cover shot or film segment to the stories of hardship, joy, humor and success. 
With a new Canon 7D, a few GoPros and a some help from our buddy/ photographer/ Mtn Ranks Owner Ross Downard we hope to capture images and stories that will captivate and inspire our viewers.
HUGE THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTING SPONSORS FOR MAKING OUR DREAM A REALITY!!!

The 1st issue of the 2012 Telemark Skier Magazine dropped into mailboxes and on shelves at many of your favorite mag stands a few months ago. Chock full of content, The Gear Guide had all of us drooling and putting together the ultimate quiver and planning the dream trips This was the first issue that the TSM Crew collectively worked on. Bring the stories, gear, and people to the pages, showing you why our sport and industry is so unique.
Here are a couple images I am super stoked on that are a part of the issue. Check em out! Then go get your own copy so you can experience the best Issue yet!!!
Thanks To Telemark Skier Magazine for publishing this image in a format that does it justice!
Thanks To IceFall Lodge, BC for giving us the opportunity to be there!
Thanks to Paige Braidy, Candy Froerer, Martha Burly, and of Course Photographer and Great Friend Re Wikstrom For Capturing the Biggest Cliff I have ever hit.
The next Image was the only day I went out to shoot photos last season before tearing my ACL. The first sizable cliff of the season. The first run of the day. And the first shoot and first shot that I have ever done with Grant Gunderson.
I’d say it turned out pretty well!!!
The Photo Annual is just dropping! With more great content written by fellow athletes and advocates, it marks the culmination of a lot of hard work by last years TSM Crew.
It was a wonderful team to be a part of and I think we all crushed it last season! Looking forward to seeing what the new Crew creates.

Fall is a time of building anticipation for the season. It’s a time to hit the gym and start getting everything in order for the winter ahead. It’s also a time when you start placing your orders for the fresh gear you want to rock this season.
I am truly lucky to have such amazing sponsors that hook me up with the hottest in threads and gear. Here is a little sneak peak of what I will be rocking this year…
The boys over at Trew have got it going on! Their outerwear is insanely technical yet beyond stylish. Bringing a little bit for everyone from loud colors to mellow tones, they have what you are looking for!
Smith Optics has been a leader in eye wear for much longer than I can remember. From fun sunglasses that will flare up your day or night to super technical goggles that will have you seeing clear through the storm these guys do the job right!
Hestra makes some killer gloves and I just love the way they feel. Whether skinning up on a cold morning, or skiing epic blower they keep my hands dry and warm.
CW-X has been helping me come back from tearing my ACL last season. With there anatomical fit that supports muscles both as they develop and to help aid in fatigue, these keep my body warm and muscles feeling strong.
I have been working with Scarpa for about 5 years now and there is no other boot that I would trust to hold up to the big airs, steep lines, and long skin tracks that make up my days, weeks, and months of the ski season. The T-race is the best 75ml boot on the market hands down. If you like to charge hard and haven’t gotten on a pair I say give it a whirl and you will never look back!
The boys of 22designs have been leading the charge on the big mountain circuit for quite some time. The Axl is your do it all free pivot touring binding, that is agile enough for those long approaches, yet burly enough to ski whatever you dare on the way down.
BCA has been a leader in snow safety equipment for quite some time, but recently they have started really building on their backpack line. Offering comfortable, smart pack designs which have obviously been built by and for people who spend much time out of the resort. Whether you are looking for a small Stash pack for your slack country adventures or you are going full boar with a Float airbag pack you will not be disappointed.
Head on over to www.backcountry.com to view more styles and get your fall gear geek-out on!
