The first race of the year is now under my belt! We raced on a glacier in Austria called Solden, under blue skis and on very icy conditions. Solden is always a weird race…

Steve Fosset mania has hit Mammoth, kind of literally actually. Rumors started to spread early in the week that a guy from a local sports store found a wallet and pilot’s license with Steve Fosset’s name on it. When he mentioned finding it to a friend and turned in the stuff to the local police, things in our quiet town started to stir…

Out of the four different years I have been to New Zealand, this year welcomed us with the biggest snow base I had seen yet. New Zealand is always a starter camp for our team, in which we ease back into full speed training after a good three months of summer workouts under our belts…

The adventurous spirit inside me just does not want to be put in a closet right now. Six days after completing my first triathlon, I set out on my first backpacking trip. Two friends and I set a very ambitious itinerary from Mammoth to Yosemite Valley — 60 miles in just 2½ days…

The last few weeks I have been hard at work making a great plan for this summer. My team has officially started next season with our first camp in my hometown of Mammoth, California. This camp is all about going back to the basics, and for us that means slowing down. I mean way down…

Days like yesterday are the days that make my job so cool, and make me think I am the luckiest person in the world. I got to ski and film a commercial with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger…

It is soooooo nice to be back in California. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year, and Mother Nature is giving us beautiful spring in this part of the world…

This past weekend was an interesting one for sure. The World Cup Tour was supposed to race in Zweisel, Germany, but thanks to one of the fiercest storms I have ever seen, we sat in the hotel most of the time…
