I ran across this little gem tonight randomly- Check out the “A passion to ski, ‘Chicago Hopeless’” Link under my pages.

Every time I think about writing something new in here lately I feel overwhelmed because once again, it’s been a while and I don’t want to write a synopsis of my life from the past six months. So how about some photos.

A season full of deep pow days, big cliffs, backflips and lawn darts, hot tubs, fat skis, and philly cheese steak sandwiches. Couldn’t ask for more.

As well as jumping a lot and taking some time down in Moab.

Then I did this…

And it made me feel like this…

But I feel much better now. We went to the bridge over the weekend and I got to jump and hike, it was great.

School starts next week and I get to go back into the grind. I have decided to be a nurse so school’s about to get a little harder. But it’s going to be a good thing.

I am so excited!!! This past week a crew of us have been rallying a particular skiBASE jump that had never been hit before just 45 minutes from our house. Definitely stoked on this one. It’s pretty nerve wracking standing on top of an inrun that drops off the edge of the world, (or a 500 foot cliff, same thing) but for that same reason it is soooo much dang fun, and I am addicted.

I have hit it three times this week- Jesse and Max have been with me on all my jumps and they are both killing it, as usual, with frontflips, double backs, really long slider-up delays… these are the people who inspire me for sure. For now I am sticking to solid straight airs, getting used to my skis, and how the wind catches them in different ways- focusing on good body position and an overall solid jump. I can’t wait to do it again… tomorrow maybe?
Thanks for the photo Re!!

Yay 2008!!!

So check out my…

NEW CAR!!!! WOOOOO!!!! I am still a little bit in shock, is this beautiful car really mine?

New BASE rig!!! Yeah!!! My parachute is sooooo pretty… I’ll show you some pictures later- We just went on a short trip down to Moab and jumped 4 cliffs down there, it was an amazing time for sure. I have over 50 base jumps and counting now. Sick!!!!
New Job… not that exciting- but good to make some cash after a day of skiing. I am working as a server at California Pizza Kitchen in the Gateway in downtown SLC.
School is finally over and it’s time to ski! It’s dumping in Utah right now and I am getting pretty excited just to be able to focus on skiing and having a good time. Life is rad!
Check my schedule for this upcoming season. Just keep in mind it could easily change and probably will.

My new rig is only 2 weeks away, and I am freaking out!!!  Check out a couple new BASE photos in the gallery.
