I am back from 2 months of India and European adventure, but on the road once again. This time I find myself in Nevada (alongside writer Hans Ludwig, skiers Cody Townsend, Rachael Burks, and Jamey Parks), on assignment for Powder magazine, documenting the range of skiing and ski culture in the most mountainous state (yes, its true). We’ve found some amazing couloirs right above the hell hole that is Las Vegas, alongside 3000 year old Bristlecone Pine trees. For the past two days have been out in the middle of nowhere skiing and hanging out at a hot springs ranch amongst great company. Tomorrow promises a couloir of a lifetime and I’m very excited!

I climbed this dead tree to shoot Cody Townsend cruising below. Then I did a backflip off the branch! Photo, Rachael Burks.

Rachael Burks awaits skiing this narrow 35-45er, 40mins from Las Vegas.
