Here is my 2014/2015 season snowboard edit from this past year. I am 16 years old. It was filmed by Jacob Levine, Jack Wiley, and Peter Day. This edit was filmed at Park City, Canyons, Mammoth, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Seven Springs.

I originally created this story for the app Steller Stories, but wanted to share it here on Spread Stoke too! This is a visual journey of the trails I rode this summer while impatiently waiting for the big dumps of winter.  And…well, we’re still waiting here in Utah.  I’m going to bust out my bike tomorrow in hopes that it helps to switch up some storm karma.

I caught my first ever bankroll on camera with the handle mount cam. I got so stoked!

Seeking love is often a popular thought this time of year. Expectations rise while emotions begin to fly high. This particular feature has been on my mind for the past several weeks and I haven’t been able to shake the thought of riding her inviting curves. At first I observed her from a distance, however, time and additional snowfall allowed me to work up the courage to ask her for a ride. Valentine’s day was the perfect opportunity to express my love for her bubbly, rotund, pillow lines. And express I did.

Mine lines.

Bottom line.

I love the mountain.

The month of January has been an interesting one in the Wasatch. 2014 kicked off with rollover powder from the previous year.

Champagne pow gradually fluctuated to mostly sugar and cream. Lack of freshies led to getting creative with local terrain.

Just when Old Man Winter’s local approval ratings began to dip, a series of storms pushed into the area dropping classic Utah snow. Stashes were shlarped.*

Yet another high pressure system pushed itself into the Wasatch area shortly thereafter, apprehending all hope of continued powder terror. Instead, sunny, spring like conditions prevailed for the past 2 weeks, lowering team morale. In times like these, succumbing to frustration seems to be an easy excuse not to ride some snow, however, a backyard sunset session never hurts when the powder is nowhere to be found. Get creative and make the fun happen. Because the next storm is right around the corner.
