 The light was flat but when you're not filming for a skimovie where everything has to be perfect it doesn't matter.

 As far asI am concerned, this was the perfect day.

 No stress, fun people toshred with and three low consequence runs with smooth, stable snow!</p>]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[<p>Its always fun re-exploring your home mountain. 

Especially when the mountain opens up terrain that used to always be permanently closed. 

Last year I don't think I skied on the area very much due to the sick slackcountry. 

So it was my goal to stay in bounds and enjoy myself. 

FYI: The snowboarders in this edit are Sean Ryan and Randall Stacy.</p>]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[<p>Blake and Pep get a classic Alta day in!

 It was an interlodge day, which means you have to be up at the resort before 6am because they're doing avalanche control work in Little Cottonwood Canyon.

 If something slides, which sometimes you hope it does, that means your stuck up at the resort with all the new snow, while everyone else is stuck in the valley knowing they missed out.

 Anyone that knows Alta, knows Wildcat is the spot on those cloudy powder days.

 Hot laps, mini shred everywhere and nothing but good times.</p>
<p>Blake, Pep and Angeli crossed paths with brocals Hayden Price and Thayne Rich.

 Two great people to run into on a ski day.

 Jahlta!!</p>]]></description>

 We followed this hidden, sketchy path, in search of snow that hadn't been thwarted by the evil redneck snowmobiling hordes.

 It was a lot more treacherous than it looks on here, but we had an interesting time trying to get out of there...

 Always good times though!</p>]]></description>

My brother, roommate, and myself skiing some classic back country. 

Thanks goes out to Will Wesson for filming me in the park and BC booters, 

Brad Foley for taking photos of me, and my brother for showing me the way! 

Other than that, this is what I have been up to on my free time. 

I won't lie, I really miss Mammoth sometimes and riding with the crew, who ever it may be. 

But a man has got to do what a man has got to do.</p>

It was some of the best pow skiing I've ever had... Here is a go pro helmet cam/ chesty cam edit of all the powdy cakes and good times.</p>]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[<p>We are here in Italy traveling around, skiing and seeing the sights. Our crew is, Eric Pollard, Ian Cosco, Chris Benchetler, Ike Smith, Justin Wiegand, Alessandro Belluscio and myself. We were able to go to Rome for a day when we flew in and was able to walk around the city to look at the most beautiful buildings and art in the world. It was amazing! Then we went to a town (Cervinia) right near the Matterhorn to ski... the snow was not that good, so we are now at Courmayeur another massive mountain by Mt. Blanc. We hope we find some good powder here!</p>

<p>We are in Sanora Pass Snowmobiling and skiing.... this is where one of the US military bases is located. We have to wait to pass a certain zone till they are done target practicing with automatic weapons. Pretty sweet to see them train. And they are super nice guys that let us take photos with them like tourists.</p>

Sure enough filming didn't get any easier. On the plus side we have sun, but it's very low tide due to a humongous lack of snow. Fortunately, forecasters are claiming 8-12 feet of snow starting next week. And last time I checked, that is plenty of snow to go skiing in. So, we are going to wait it out and see what we can scramble together. As always we are hoping for the best, and make sure to check back here-<a href="http://www.nimbusindependent.com/" style="color: #e15000; text-decoration: none" target="_blank">

They are testing out the new product so they have some hands on experience when it comes time to order and sell the the skis. 

We have one more day of testing, and then it's back to Yakima for me until friday, when Pep and I head out to India. 

Yes, there is snow in India. 

That's the question I get most when I tell people about heading out there. 

Can't wait. 

Sorry, no photos of the new product, you will see it soon enough.]]></description>

We left Mammoth in freezing temps, hoping it would be perfect for sending, but sure enough the temperature difference between Mammoth and Bishop was huge, so palms and fingers got sweaty real fast. Lonnie was still able to send it with a small power spot I gave him at the bottom. It was super sick to see go down. Now we are just waiting for temps to drop again so he can complete the puzzle... Oh, and I played on some rocks too. It was amazing. Check out our day through the lens of

For those of you that do not receive Hood River news, our very own Nimbus cinematographer hit the runway and dropped his Dragon 'Rob Machado Experience' shades for a peek at the crowd and landed himself a cover... I'm pretty sure Pollard taught him that walk and look, but it's hard telling not knowing. </p><p>Anyways, Ike was strutting his stuff for his wife's (Nikki) new clothing company and store 'ICONIC'. So, head out today and get your very own Iconic gear before it's all sold out... And make sure to keep yours eyes on the runway. There's no telling when Fashion Boy will make his next appearance.</p>]]></description>

Renteria, and I all hit up the Gorge for some awesome climbing madness. Fortunately we brought Eddie and Saori (the ultimate documentors) because the rest of us forgot our cameras...

                        <description><![CDATA[<p>Duffy gives us his view on tourist and making the freedom ride come alive.</p><p>



</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Verdana">Last year while hiking out of the backcountry the crew came across a man we shall never forget, and hope to see again soon. A man with many stories and words of wisdom. Every now and then we show our friends and family these words of wisdom and they keep telling us to please put it on the web so they can see it again and again. Well here it is. The first installment of "Adventures with Duffy." I hope you all enjoy as it inspired me... I hope I have the fire and the love for the hill when Im his age.
