Here it comes





Since arriving in  Utah five days, ago I have attended a Dynastar team meeting in Park City at the mountain center where we talked about the products and next years skis.  I've had athlete interviews at Alta for a season pass, and have skied five hard days at the bird and Alta two of those being powder days. And next friday I have a athlete coffee/tea social with the Alta general manager and snow safety at a mid month lodge. I have  I guess my life as pro big mountain skier is coming together.  I'm super excited about the months to come.  And the big storm that's on it's way here tonight.  
In pro skiing like pro surfing you have to live in the center of the sport, in surfing it the North Shore of Hawaii, and in skiing it Snowbird and Alta.  I'm moved to Utah to  break down the door of  the industry, by throwing  myself down the mountain battling everyone,  from established pros, to the new up and comers for shots and early morning powder sessions.      The bird and Alta is the center of big mountain skiing in the US,  it's where the photographers,  filmer's, and team managers live and ski. It's the place to be so that why I have make the big move from California.  It's hard to break into the industry  living outside of the bubble of the little cottonwood canyon, so I'm here to make this dream a reality.   This has come with many sacrifices such as moving alone,  going broke traveling the world, losing girlfriends, and  living away for friends and family.  But with anything you want comes sacrifices,  and when I  reach your dream, that how sweet it will be.
