Last night Josh Madsen’s film, “The Free Heel Life” came roling through Park City. It was a phenominal night! He teamed up with the local youth organization the PC Tele tribe to produce one of the best raffles and silent auctions ever. The tribe were able to raise enogh money to cover nearly all of their annual expenses. There were Scarpa t-races, Columbia Jackets, Heli Lessons, Canyons tickets, Yarrow Hotel Stays, Trew threads, Hestra swag, Rossignol telescoping poles, and more.
The night was great. We had full house icluding the film’s athletes J.T Robinson and Ben Johnson and Rossignol’s Head of Nordic, Robert Lazzorini. While we all waited in anticipation people walked around placing bids on the slew of items and mingled with athletes, friends and industry. Around 9pm Josh kicked off the night by calling out the raffle and setting the tone for the rest of the night. 
As the movie played there were laughs, ohhs and ahhs, and even some misty eyes in the house. The sound track and images grabbed us all and took us on a fun rollercoaster through heroing lines and backflips to horrific tumbles and crashes. The movie was awsome and everyone seemed to have nothing but love for this years film!

Well, I never thought I would be a blogger, but here I am launching my new site. For those of you who don’t know me, take some time and check out my photos, bio, and links, and for those of you who do… well…check ‘em out anyway.
I have been keeping busy the last few months doing my guiding thing with White Pine Touring up here in Park City, taking people rock climbing and mountain biking all over the wasatch and Uinta’s and getting really into Downhill mountain biking (yeah, super fun sport).
But, as the summer bbqs seem to be getting engulfed by the darkness earlier and earlier, I am starting to get that insatiable itch for the ski season to begin.This is always the hardest time, because I know that I have gotten way too excited way too early. But, I guess I’ll just start emailing sponsors, making travel plans, reading magazines, hitting the gym… oh yeah, and keep taking DH laps at Deer Valley.
Speaking of sponsors, I have joined three new RADICAL companies. The first is TREW Gear. They make the sweetest outerwear on the planet and if you haven’t heard of them you should definitely take some time and check em out. The second company that I am teaming up with this year is Backcountry.com if you don’t know who they are you have probably been sleeping under a rock for the past three years. They are the leading online outdoor retailer and they have some killer deals on anything you could possibly want and are launching some of their own product this season as well. The third is CW-X, they make the most incredible performance training wear on the planet. (you can purchase them on backcountry.com). I am really excited to have joined these three new companies, as well as continuing on with all of my previous sponsors and with their help I’m ready to push it this coming season!
So, stop reading this and go check all this new stuff out!
