Chimney at Squaw, & a D-Spin 720! - April 23rd, 2010!!

Squaw Gave Us The Chimney Today from UnofficialSquaw on Vimeo.

The chimney wasn't bad today and there was a big crew that was on it. Lotza good times were had and many a smile exchanged. I was also stoked to accomplish my final goal for the season, landing a d-spin 720 in the park. In the process of doing so I took my hardest fall of the season and scraped up my face! Lovely. In this vid you can see Chimney Sweep, Center Line, The Loft, Easy Street, and I almost went for Schmidiots, but thought better of it. April 23rd, 2010. Big Thanks to patrol for opening all of the Chimney for us today!

Hail & Rainbows - Green & Flowers

Ok, it doesn't happen often, or ever, but I actually got completely sick of snow and skiing last week and needed to see some GREEN and FLOWERS!!!! So I went to my mom's place in the San Joaquin Valley and soaked it all up! I did a day in the delta, a day at lake Don Pedro and a few days just chilling at my mom's almond and walnut farm on the Toulomne River. It was much need and amazing.

The Highlight? Yesterday, pouring rain, then quarter-sized hail, then enormous rainbows!!!! Check out the video and pictures

Fingers Race - April 3rd, 2010 - Middle Finger

Here is a video of the Fingers race on April 3rd, 2010. I'm the skier who skis Middle Finger. It was crazy ice and I almost hiked outta there. But then decided, aaawwwhhh, what the hell, and went for it. It was scary for the first 3 turns and then PERFECT! Please watch the next video up to see what it looked like through my eyes (helmet cam).
