RIP Shane McConkey

Shane McConkey was a visionary and legend in skiing. He inspired every person that got to watch him in movies, meet him in person or even just hear about his accomplishments. I looked up to him and will miss his presence in the ski community. My heart goes out to his family and close friends. Shane's memory will live on through the generations of skiers he has inspired.

Ride those endless powder runs in heaven dear skiing friend.

Utah powder hunting...

I got a chance to catch up with GB (gretchen bleiler), Stan Evans & more, and go on a snowmobile and powder hunting adventure. I found out late Monday night and zoomed down to SLC from Breck to meet up with the crew for Wednesday, Thursday shredding. The snow was so deep Wednesday, that it was a constant face shot while sledding. 4+ Feet of fresh and another foot fell while we were out there! Thursday was a day at my fav lil mountain in Utah, Pow Mow. Next to come is the Queen's Cup Open at Park City, Friday and Saturday. Holler!

TIME OF OUR LIVES!

Kristi Leskinen's Homecoming Invitational was hands down the most amazing weekend of our winter. Full of skiing, goodie bags, facials, massages, an am rail jam for local kids, bowling, dance parties and much more! 

Seven Springs Resort, PA put together a legit slopestyle setup despite the warm weather and extreme melt that happened only days before our arrival. Three jumps and four rail features.

Kaya's winning run included a switch 9 which of course was grabbed the whole way through! Way to go Kaya Bamba!

A BIG thanks to Kristi for putting on this amazing event!

Shout Out...

I often think about how grateful I am to all those people who add to my life. So, today I decided to post a note to tell you all thanks! 

Wither it be friends/family, sponsors, the bank teller who helped me at my bank the other day, the people that comment on my photos and blog and share inspiration with me, even the random people that take the time to smile in passing. Thank you for lighting up my life, teaching me lessons and believing in my dreams. 

:)

Update...

Went on an RV trip with my hometown crew...

Some photos from our travels to the red woods.

Now I am at Baker for a week of powder shredding!

Great adventures are good for the soul.
