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!
