120 inches of snow and my first injury, and it's only Thanksgiving!

The snow has been awesome since this last storm hit. 10 inches of snow in 24 hours, but also really cold. It was -23 with the wind chill at the top of Hidden Peak at Snowbird the other day! Let me say that again people...-23!!! That was brutal for sure! I got frostbite on the tip of my nose and got a little freaked out about that. I am such a wimp when it comes to being cold. As for jumping cliffs pre-season, I've already had my first injury as you can clearly see, my booty hurts these days!

Welcome to the 2010-2011 season

11 new inches in 24 hours. The snow was pretty dense so it was hard to tell exactly how deep it was. So awesome we are getting so much snow this early! Got to ride with a couple of The North Face Masters riders today. And I finally landed my 3's again. Yay!!!

Day 3 Pre-Season riding

Hiked up to the top of wildcat at Alta today for Day 3. It was a beautiful warm sunny day to snowboard down Alta. So nice to get out on some snow. A bit sun-baked, but I'll take what I can get pre-season. Think I'll go do a dance for the snow gods now.

Fundraising for StandStrongAgain.org

So last season, me and a bunch of friends decided to work with StandStrongAgain.org and the Nickerson Foundation to raise money for injured skiiers and snowboarders with no insurance. It all started when our friend Skylar Bourne broke his back and didn't have insurance to rely on. So what do a bunch of snowboarders know how to do best? Throw parties. So we had a couple huge fundraisers including the Naughty Nurse Party, The Pirate Party and Santa's Little Helper Party in Park City, UT. Skylar was able to get the medical attention he needed and we were able to give back to our fellow snowboard community. And for including Revolution Manufacturing Snowboard Factory in Orem, UT I got to desigen my first custom board! It was such an honor to design it and even better to get a free snowboard. I love my sponsors!! Thanks Rev!

University of Utah Rail Jam

Today I got a press pass to the University of Utah Rail Jam. It was awesome to see some of the Revolution Team compete. I despise rails, so I just hung back and took some photo's.

The first female on the Lenitech Team!

So last season I went into Lenitech, an awesome local snow/skate shop near the University of Utah. I started chatting with Tyler, the manager and it turns out he worked for Revolution building boards. Since I have been working closly with Revolution in the past we started chatting. By the end of the conversation Tyler thought I could go ride with him and the owner to see if I could be on their Snow Team. We went to The Canyons and had such a fun day. Now I'm the first female on their team! Thanks Lenitech, I'll make you proud. To check out my profile go to www.lenitech.com/team.cfm
