What a run, 3 months on the road. I’ve had some of the best times of my life, I think I said “I had the best day of my life” like 10 times in Japan this year, snowboarded more than I skied, having so much fun on the board 🙏🏽 this year was a year I’ve always dreamed of. I think after 34 years of being on this earth, and the past 9 dedicating my winters to chasing the snow and my dreams, I think it’s fair to say I might have this whole ski bum thing down. My 2 months in Japan was something out of a movie for me and was so surreal half the time, then to come back, hang out in Tahoe for a week and then run up to the PNW to catch some frozen waves was unreal. Then to have @fuck013 come hang out in the bus and ski bum it for 3 weeks was something so special to me. To be hanging out in Japan all of February and then bring it to this side of the world for miracle march was one of the best experiences of my life. I’m so thankful for this life. It’s not normal or easy. Being on the road for 3 months was fun, but I am very exhausted and ready to get this fractured radius all healed back up so I can go back to work and save up for next year, so I can do it all over again. Huge shoutout to my boss for letting me take 3 months off work and a couple extra weeks for my radius to heal up. I’m broke as hell financially, but I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. These experiences don’t come often and are some of the best experiences of my life. Thank you mountains, thank you friends, thank you life. We live in a special time where we can connect all over the world and it is amazing. Thank you to everyone who supports me and my lifestyle, thank you to all the friends that met up with me, thank you bus for being so reliable, it ain’t boring when you’re scoring 🤟🏽#absd #oooossss #skibum

Wow, the stars aligned and got to show my best friend one of my most favorite zones in 🇺🇸 thank you @fuck013 for making the last minute trip to come ride with me and hang out in @pearlthedreammachine 🚌 rode hurricane ridge the day before and missioned out to catch a beautiful sunny day full of people, but we managed to find our little slice of heaven. I don’t think goodsun has ever hiked that far for a line, but damn he had a huge smile on his face the whole time 😁#absd #skibum #boysupdate

Sick skatepark at the bottom of the run at @whitevalley.ski for Doughboy Day 2026 💀 I am so honored to be a part of this amazing event. So many amazing people, all having the best time on their favorite skeleton graphic. Something so special to be a part of and witness. Here is a little rip through the park on my skis. Great job to the park crew for building such a fun, flowey, park 🫶🏽

Got the opportunity to go back to the mountain of death, it’s been 5 years since I have ridden this mountain, it is very unique, very scary, AK style lines, but it was so epic to hit it on a snowboard! It was a beautiful sunny day, had not snowed in a couple days, but we managed to find some waves 🌊 #absd #japow #liveforthis #skibum

So so so many thank you’s! As I get acclimated back home I get to look at my pictures and get to re live my trip and it is so special and couldn’t have been done without my friends. Thank you so much to everyone that I met, thank you friends that came out from the states, thank you mountains for some of the most amazing sessions I could dream of, thank you Japanese friends for always being there for me and making missions to meet up and ride with me, thank you @leos_lost_life for always being down to go on ski trips, you make life so much better and I always love having you around. Every year just gets better and better and it’s hard to believe. I am so lucky to have everybody in my life. Feels like I’m living in a dream. Arigato Gozaimasu! Mata ne 🫶🏽 🇯🇵 ❤️‍🔥 #international #skibum #japow

Holy fuck, I’ve never been so sad to leave, but this trip has topped off any trip or event I have ever been a part of. These people are some of the greatest in the world. Huge shoutout to all of my Japanese friends. You guys truly made this the best trip of my life, the skiing, the culture, the connections are so pure and priceless. I did things I never imagined of doing, ate things I would never order, and showed me places I would only dream of. I am so lucky to have friends like you guys and I can’t wait to make more memories. It’s pretty cool for an unknown self supported skier to link up with such legendary people and make magic with all of our creative energy. I am also so beyond thankful for all of my amazing friends that make it out to join me and my adventures. My adventures aren’t normal, and there is a lot of unknown, so thank you for being patient and so good at going with the flow. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life. Everyone that I met up with, I am so beyond grateful for you guys and my world would be so different without you, thank you so much for enjoying this beautiful world with me. Peace, love, my heart lies in Japan ❤️‍🔥 (I couldn’t tag everyone, you know who you are, thank you so incredibly much)
