It’s been a little frustrating between Jackson and Utah… minimal snow and touchy avalanche conditions:

Sour Patch Kids

We had the makings of a great day:
Sun, Sleds, Shredders :
…and really amazing terrain…. unfortunately the trip proved to be entirely unproductive and I blew up a sled. Back to Utah… supposed to snow here in the next few days. Hope so.

JACKSON HOLE! ‘10

I’m posting up in Jackson for the season– snow has been awesome and this mountain is humbling, as in, I’m daily challenged, impressed, and honestly scared a little. It’s a privilege to be able to ski here every day– I’m filming as much as possible and hopefully chipping away at some footage….

Me and Wade Mcoy at the top of the tram

-Julian has recently joined the crew up here- It’s been badass lately to have him up here — he and I have been skiing together like old times, except we’re not at Snowbird anymore… it’s awesome to be in a place that neither one of us know – every day is a bit of an adventure.

Jules and Rach, scrunchin' it up - as usual

I WON!

revelstoke

Well, it’s official- 2010 has arrived and my resolution is to be more savvy with digital social media- that means making this blog of mine work. I’m back in Canada- stoked as all get up, hanging with Dynastar and Rossignol. The first segment of out trip was an all women’s shoot with Lynsey Dyer and Claudia Bouvier. The three of us women + TM Matt Rihm headed to Snow Water Lodge just outside of Nelson, British Columbia—- we were treated like queens up there and did some filming in the perfectly gladed trees around Snow Water.

After… we headed to Revelstoke . . . the one place I’d want to live if I didn’t live in Salt Lake… This place is the jam in my potatoes. It was my first time on the actual ski hill there and that mountain is siiick. I’m more amped on Revelstoke than I was after the first time I decided I wanted to live there. . . 4 years ago…

Next we head to Valhalla Powdercats…. stay tuned.
