So last Sunday after a hard night with a migraine I headed to Breck to
get my shred on. Got a ride to the bottom of beaver run by a buddy and
was on the lift by 9am. headed straight to the park and was ready to
get my jump on. luckily the mountain decided to open the dew tour
course, and I could start linking some tricks. I did some tricks in the
smaller park to warm up, then met up with Silas and started jumping the
biggies. I was working on doing back side 9 to cab 9 but was having
issues on speed so came up a little bit short a few times, which took
its toll on the knees. After some more runs and watching some ill runs
by kevin Pearce, Scotty Lago, and Steve Fisher. Got on the road by 1pm
so I could miss some traffic, but still got a little bit. Back to Boulder to clean up and get ready for Jackson hole at 4:30AM Thanks Seth

So Saturday, was a pretty fun day shredding. I headed up to Breck the
night before, so I could wake up nice and early the next day. I got up
and was on the mountain for first chair at 9am, my buddy Jeff Meyer
dropped me off at the lift which saved me lots of time on the bus. I
got up there and it was snowing but pretty empty for a holiday Saturday, so I took advantage of it. I rode almost all of the lifts and
even the T-bar which was epic. I took the T-bar up then cut over to
chair C and rode some really good untouched pow, before breaking my tow
strap. After that I headed down to the the bottom of Beaver run to the
first shop which didnt have the piece to fix it then to two more shops
before finally getting the piece. By then it was about 1pm and it
seemed like the right time to start jumping, headed over to park lane
and started lapping, got some fun tricks, spinning all ways and trying
something new each time. After some laps there I met up with Nate Kern,
and Eric Wylet and started a new lap which involved the first jump in
freeway, then the last bigger 2 in park lane. It was a pretty fun lap
and each of us just kept stepping it up, kern doing cab 9's. Eric with
crazy upside down cab 5's and I got a decent bs 1080 which made me
pretty happy. Got done with the day as it got a little over cast and
headed back to Meyers house for some Chillie and chilling. Minus the
sudden midnight migraine it was a pretty amazing day. thanks for tuning in Seth

Last night, Jeff cormack, Kevin rouse, and I blasted up to vail to check out a rail jam we were invited to. It was a pretty crazy night of activities and alot of riding for alot of people. Luckily I was in the Pro/Am devision so didnt have to qualify. but there was 80 snowboarders that were in the open class that had to compete against each other to make it to finals, then from the 12 that went to the finals, top 3 got to go on to the pro/am devision. The pro/am devision was an invite list that included some smith riders, CU team, and some others. We shredded for 40 minutes and then they took the top 8 to actually go to the real finals. Luckily I made it to the real finals. The course consisted of 2 sides; the crazy side was riders left and was a Down-Flat-Down into a Y rail (up rail into 2 down rails) that looked like a Y from an arial view. then on riders right was a really long down rail (50ft) into a flat box. During the 40 minute jam. I landed tricks such as fs360 out of the dfd into bs360 out of the Y rail, fs board on the down rail into bs 450 onto the flat box. I did some other various tricks as well. 360's out 270's on the kink and some others. The finals is where people started going off. I knew the judging was overall so I made a point of landing some good tricks right off the bat, and making sure it didnt look like I was just hucking. In the end I finished in 3rd place, making 100$ WOOOO, lol. I'm quite happy with the 3rd place as it was my first pro contest of the year, and was a rail jam which definitly isnt my thing. Planning on doing some jumping tomorrow, so stay tuned for the news. (stay strong, and live life to the fullest, and think of every situation in the best possible way) -Seth

So yesterday was a pretty exciting day. As the snow settled in boulder, we new jibbing had to go down. There was a good 6-12 inchs and plenty of it so we new we could make something happen. The jib mission started for me at 11am, after 2 classes and with the second 2 being canceled, I was ready to do work. We started at an
undisclosed location somewhere up towards the mountain, which was a
nice white bridge rail pretty wide and turned out to be a little too
mellow and slow. basically we needed to be going faster to make it look
sick. Next was a single barrel down rail, pretty mellow as well but
super long. Nick got a nose press but that was about as sick as it got.
Just speed issues once again. we proceeded to 2 other rails and was
shut down before we could even build a jump. kinda a dissapointing day,
but still good to be up there. -(stay strong, and live life to the fullest, and think of every situation in the best possible way) -Seth
