Some winter coach coops highlights. What a season! The most fun winter I’ve ever had thanks to the @whistlerfreerideclub coaches I got to hang with and the athletes I had the pleasure of coaching! Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
Retirement never looked so good!
Decided to step away from competing this season and enjoy skiing for myself with no outside pressure or expectations.
This was the first trip in the last 12 years that wasn’t for a ski competition, and it was the best!
Time to put the coaching hat on for the rest of the season with the @whistlerfreerideclub and I couldn’t be more pumped to fire up the next generation at the @ifsafreeriders comps I grew up doing.
3 weeks chasing the @fwtqualifier challenger series summed up into 10 pictures. Had an absolute blast getting back in the start gate and I am so grateful to have gotten a wildcard for these events.
Unfortunately the competition side didn’t go so well, crashing in two out of the 3 stop series put me out of the running for the overall. But it was so much fun to be on the road with @jacksonbathgate and the rest of the fellas again.
I’m not sure if this is the end of the road on competition skiing for me, but if it is. It’s been damn fun, and I am so proud to be a part of this community!
Time to put the coaching hat back on to finish the season with the @whistlerfreerideclub !
The start of this season has looked a little different for me, I’ve been coaching full time with the @whistlerfreerideclub . It’s been a really fun learning curve to go from competing, to coaching a competition. The laps after the comps aren’t half bad either!
I’m still going to give the @fwtqualifier a crack this year to try and join @jacksonbathgate for a year on tour together!
Had a great time at the @wintergamesnz frontier. Unfortunately I put a hip down on a trick I’ve done hundreds of times costing me a chance at a better result. Happy to walk away with a top 10 all things considered. Always great to get to ski in September!
@blackbird.nz on the drone.
Very excited to be cutting my summer short and get back to this in a few weeks! Going to give the @wintergamesnz Frontier another shot! Can’t wait to be back in the start gate. 📸: @guyfattalphoto
