Powder Magazine, Female Skier of the Year!!

http://www.powderawards.com/video/2010-video-awards/best-female/#more-958

I just returned from a little place called Assssspen, where the beer flows like wine and the women flock like the salmon of Capistrano. There I got to host the Red Carpet portion of the live broadcast of Powder magazine’s Powder Awards and was nominated for female skier of the year. It was super fun to get to interview some of my favorite athletes and filmmakers and a huge added bonus to take home the big trophy!

Huge thanks to Derrill Miller for putting my footage into a film! To all my sponsors for helping me make that possible, to the girls at SheJumps who continue to inspire me, to those who love me enough to help put me back together emotionally and physically after I huck myself to flat expecting to stomp, to my parents for being good parents and to that little something that keeps me on the path and seeing the light!

I am certain that if every person on the planet could know what it feels like to make a turn in powder or carve down the face of a wave, the only thing we’d be fighting for is more opportunities to do that! Cheers to all of you who promote being outside. We do have an important purpose here!

Man can this guy make us look good! I promise I'll be adding more once I get a card reader for my new camera!

First Ascent Avalanche course in the Sawtooths

I recently finished a three day intensive Avalanche course outside  Sun Valley, Idaho, with the First Ascent team! It was a great chance to come home to the valley where I grew up and brush up on my backcournty rescue and snow assesment skills.

There I had the chance to meet Lel Tone, our instructor who quickly became one of my sheros. With 20 years of  avalanch forcasting and guide experience, Lel had the potential to be really scary but within 2 minutes of meeting the woman, she became someone I imediatly looked up to.  Truly embodying what  it means to be a strong female in the mountains, Lel set the tone for a great weekend learning the skills I hope to use every day and some I hope to never ever have to put to use!

Rad Gloves! Thanks for the add Gordini!!
