Some lines stick with you more than others. Another angel from a dream line featured in —“HARMONY”
My latest film project.

It was powerful dropping into this one. The size of the cornice hanging above the main spine nearly kept me from wanting to ride this line. With it being early March & a cold day, that helped me feel confident to get up there. Up top, I wanted my time next to this beast of a cornice to be brief & give the cornice as much space as possible. While gearing up to drop, I watched a light pillar form just below the line, a brief moment of magic, that I took as an open invite. If you look close, you can see just as I dropped in I uncovered a few boulders that were just beneath the surface nearly knocking me off my feet, in a no fall zone. You can see a few boulders tumble out of frame, then over a cliff, Maybe it was just a gentle reminder from the mountains to always be ready.
Once I got onto the main spine, I felt better, I thanked the mountain and locked in.🙏🏔️
Big thanks to everyone @blackopsvaldez , the crew and my sponsors for making it all possible.

Harmony. That moment when body, mind, skis, and mountains all sync up, peace amongst the chaos.
In Alaska’s ruthless steeps, it’s hard-won. Storms rage, sloughs threaten, but when the bluebird window opens and everything clicks... it’s worth every due paid.
“I was way more at peace this year... confident when I needed to be, humble when I needed to be.” – Sammy

We’re excited to share a slice of our first Mastermind film, Lost Angels. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be many in-person cinematic experiences powered by @filmhiveco
The project began with 10 of our filmmakers, all of us working together to produce, shoot, and edit over 10 intense days across 13 locations. Lost Angels is part of our story.
Drop a comment with “Lost Angels” below, and we’ll DM you a chance to see the full film.
One of those days when everything just lines up perfectly. The guides and pilot @stellaradventuretravel were on point, getting everyone into position safely. Conditions were optimal for this line, and we couldn’t have asked for a better setup. @colby_stevenson was fully in charge mode. @jack.francis_ and I were on dual op of the Inspire, and this shot ended up being one of my favorites of the season. These are the days, shots, and moments that I live for. 🙏🏼

Last summer, we created all the marketing materials for @goosewingranchwy , which launched over a year ago.
The last couple years I’ve been through a personal back-and-forth about posting things that felt “off-brand” or didn’t align with what I saw as “my personal brand.” Only posting the final film.
Over the past year, some shoots have aligned perfectly with that vision—while others haven’t. These last five months have brought big changes to my life, helping me reconnect with what truly matters in my filmmaking career. I haven’t edited just for myself in years, but I’m going to change that.
Thanks to all the incredible shoots I’ve been a part of this last year.
Here’s to the wild west, to creating for yourself, and, to the love of filmmaking. 🖤
Many thanks to @goosewingranchwyo , @megsmcclintock , @seth.ogd , @arlankor , @someshuwiler , and everyone else involved in bringing this to life.
We couldn’t do what we do without @skidoo . Hauling over 45 lbs of gear to reach our destination is no easy feat. Thanks for always getting @jack.francis_ and me there with minimal hassle and maximum reliability. 🙏
‘PROOF’ is out now! 🔗 in profile
@freeflysystems came out with their Ember camera, and I knew I wanted to use it in some capacity for our film ‘Proof’. After some testing, I realized I needed to get the camera physically moving fast to really showcase its potential. That led me down a cable cam rabbit hole, and a month and a half later, I was able to put everything together with @colby_stevenson for the film. Hard work pays off!
Big thanks to @jack.francis_ , @malachiartice , and everyone else involved for all the hard work out there to pull these shots off.
‘PROOF’ drops November 27th online.
