Year 5 @jacksonhole . Celebrating restaurant week at @gravityhausjacksonhole@corsajh@jhosteria@the.mangy.moose
Snowboarding connects me the my youth as a skateboarder. As a child I’d skate new spots, hang with friends and have amazing shred sessions. We would make skate demo videos to send to potential sponsors. It was how we hoped to get noticed and sponsored.
Now I love riding and shredding with my son and documenting our rides and adventures. The purpose, for me, is to document and look back…to see the progress…to capture the moment.
Snowboarding, like many things, takes time and dedication. It takes falling. You face your fears. There’s great days and there’s days you’re not your best. There’s powder and there’s ice. It’s all good for you.

2025 was an amazing year personally. I look back at these yearly posts to see how I’m progressing and maximizing my life year-over-year. Goals are important otherwise you’re destined to meander away your time. I have set my 2026 goals and looking forward.
Another boring snowboard video..but they make me happy.
Chasing any snow we can find, brought us back to @wolfcreekski
Flowing through trees is both hypnotic and an assault on your sense. Weaving your way through a maze of paths. Wolf Creek’s trees are a perfect place to find your own path.
How does an Italian solve his or her problems? They pull up a chair on the plaza (campo) and bask in the sun and enjoy an espresso. So, as the Italians have done, I sat on the plaza with my espresso and I contemplated my life’s next journey. 10 out of 10; I’d highly recommend
After spending a few days in Venice, we spent our time in Cormons on the border of Slovenia in the Fruili wine region. We indulged in Michelin level dining, explored trails that led to midievel era castle ruins, visited multiple century-old vineyards…and did I mention the prosciutto?! This region is the inspiration for Boulder’s Michelin restaurant @frascafoodwine
