My buddy Cody Townsend is in town staying at our place and we were just shooting the shit today and he showed us this video.
Check out my new sick Atomic Bent-Chetlers. They are, by far, the raddest skis I’ve ever skied on. I am pumped up to have an early pair.
How pumped? This pumped.
Pumped on my view out my window on my drive down the canyon after skiing on my new favorite boards. Nice skis Chris !!
That’s right! Get some Jen! Stoked!
I awoke yesterday at about 6:20am to make it to Snowbasin by 8:00am. This was the view of Snowbasin at about 7:50am as I was making it up the windy road approaching the hill. Looks like fun..
This was the view at the top of the mountain in the morn, we had about 7th chair.
The Snowbasin tram is fun. I skied a few lines during the day through the rocks that you can see.
The Atomic suits.
Sick views are not in short supply at Snowbasin.
Another decent view.
Hanging out.
That view doesn’t suck either.
Checking out the Nordic line/info from ATOMIC.
Checking out next years boards from ATOMIC, Chris Benchetler and I spoke a little bit about skis/the industry and how ATOMIC is killing it with their new line.
Driving home from Ogden, thinking about details for the Discrete party.
Yep, Entrada.
Kountry Boi crushing it.
Shin-digging, cut-rugging, Lynxing, Cougaring, Catting, Kittening, Saber-toothing, T-rexing, Velociraptoring. And such. DJ Knucklz on the 1s and 2s. Even TEAM Sweden from label ‘DBL A’ DJ Anasteesha, and DJ Akion guest DJd. Word. DOWNSTAIRS bar JAN10, PARK CITY. We came, we saw, we participated. Thanks to the sponsors: Backcountry.com, Spyder, POWgloves, Smith, ROXY, POWDER, H2O heli, SLUGmag, Levitation, Skullcandy, and Atomic. We were at capacity at 10pm and I heard there was a line to get in all night. Cool.
We’ll leave it at that.
Ms. Jenn Berg soaking it up.
I like it too.
Pretty cool looking cloud right there. Looks like a slightly pissed off insect.
