Jackson Hole never disappoints. The valley is this wonderful combination of cowboy town, expansive flat plains, wildlife, snowcapped mountains, challenging skiing and snowboarding, ‘mountain modern’ architecture, and twangy accents.

9th annual
Delta: “Final destination today?” Me: “Jackson.” Delta: “Ooohh, everyone is going to Jackson today!” Me: “That’s because they’ve been getting a lot of snow.” It’s that time of year again. I’m at the airport right now about to leave for my annual retreat to the mountains. … Read More
Class action litigation filed against GoPro
Snowboarding season is starting late for me this year. But that doesn’t mean it will be any less epic. So far this season Jackson Hole has had 221″ of snow. This year I’m introducing a GoPro gimbal stabilizer into the mix. Here is a good example… Read More
Saying no to “Mountain Modern”

Off to the mountains
I am leaving this morning for my annual retreat to the mountains. This year we are going to Park City, Utah, which we decided to do about a year ago. The reason we chose this particular place is because Vail Resorts spent $50 million over the… Read More
Brébeuf
I woke up this morning at 5:30 am in a hotel in Ottawa. I then drove to Brébeuf, Quebec to meet some friends for a ski and snowboard weekend. (It’s beautiful here.) Upon arriving I was faced with a large hill that my rear-wheel car… Read More
