Opening Day at Wolf Creek 2011
When my alarm went off at 5:15 today I questioned whether it was worth it. Just under four hours later I found my answer: yes, it was. Today Sven Brunso and I made the trek to Wolf Creek Ski Area for opening day – with October 8th setting the new record as the earliest opening [...]

Soaring in Colorado
For the past few seasons, I’ve had the opportunity to host videos for Soaring Treetop Adventures, a thrill-ride activity based at the Tall Timber resort in southwest Colorado. Soaring is an absolute blast. The zipline-style spans stretch as far as half a mile, reach crazy speeds and zigzag over the Animas River. Producing these videos [...]
