If you haven't read this already you should. If you have any love for the sport of ski racing, free skiing, snow boarding. Please repost 11 | 20 | 2011 Tyranny of FIS FIS’s tyranny has gone on long enough. It seems FIS is going out of their way to ruin the sport. FIS runs a dictatorship. They demand absolute control then try to butter their will in a fake cloak of benevolence. Athletes, SRS

While training we take run after run after run! Repeating the same thing over and over trying to create good habits so when race day comes and you get into a tricky situation your good habits take precedence and will jump into action! So here is what good habits look like.Keep in mind, I cut line the first two hours of the day and some! So it didn't register almost half of my runs! Creating

We are riding the 24 hours of Moab bike race to raise money for World Cup Dreams Foundation. It is a grueling race- 15 miles per lap with half of those miles climbing, some 1350ft of elevation per lap. Last year our team did 15 laps and over 223 miles in 24 hours.

Just finished the Super C! Im sad to say none of my teammates joined me for the journey but a couple of the coaches, Dane and Mikey, and mega photographer Selko (check out his photos here) made it up there with me. Heres a couple photos I took from the top. I will try and edit the video footage ASAP. And hopefully get you some skiing footage as well!Way Down there is Portillo. We ascended

This couloir is beckoning me! Super C! I skied it last year for the first time but the camera I had broke so I have to make my way up there Thursday to get you some POV of this run. HopefullyI can convince a couple of my teammates to join me for the journey. I dont want to hike up but the slide down is going to be well worth it.

Today is Chile's Independence Day. Its a pretty big deal down here. When we make it down here we usually are up in Portillo isolated from the madness. But this year I flew in from Europe a day early and got to see the festivities in downtown Santiago.These horses were dancing I swear!As good as these people.KA BOOM!I wish I drove up to Portillo in this.But I had to settle for this.

Today was pretty fun. After a day of weight training in the gym with the Swedes, Hans and Anton we decided to hit up Area 47. Its kind of like Area 51 but without the aliens and desert and....well actually its not like Area 51 at all. Enjoy the film

About a year ago I had the opportunity to film with Warren Miller and the Spyder crew in Portillo, Chile for this years WM movie Like There's No Tomorrow. I got to see our segment while I was down in New Zealand shooting with Spyder (again). (WHat a tough life I lead) To say the least, the segment was awesome, I cant wait to see the whole film. Watching a Warren Miller film brings me back to

So may wonder what I have been doing in New Zealand for the past month? Well I would wake up at 6 eat some breakfast hop in the car, drive up to Coronet Peak. Then I would do my warm up which usually consisted of some movements, stretching then 3-5 runs of drill skiing really focusing on my movements. Really slowing down my skiing trying to flex my ankles, keep my chest down, stay grounded or

Heres a little clip Tommy Ford put together of our bike trip in Napa. Good work Tommy and some good memories. You may be wondering why Erik "Fish" Fisher was wearing American Flag womens swim top. Well thats the way Fish just likes to roll. Just kidding the guy who did the most stupid thing that has had to wear it for the next day. Them team voted and Fish had it one of the days.

Currently I am in New Zealand getting my training on. It is always weird to go from the sun rising at 5 and setting at 930 at night to rising at 730 and setting at 6???

Trying to catch up on the blog, going through old pictures. I really enjoyed this trip everyday except for one. Day 1 We started in Napa Valley a headed 110 miles out to the coast. Super fun day, we had a crash 2 minutes into the ride a couple wrong turns and a ton a laughs along the way. By the end of it we were cursing our trainer Alex. The ride didn't feel like 110 miles more like 150.

After Ms. Hoch and I didn't make it to the start haus on our first attempt up the Streif we decided to make our way back a week later. This time it was sunny and perfect for a summit attempt!! haha We had a good summit team that joined Me and Julia, meet Phillip and Nathalie. Phillip was up at 4AM on a hunt then joined us for the hike then went back hunting afterwards and got himself a buck. He

With all the recent talk about the ski regulation changes I want to put my two cents in. I think it is a horrible decision to make these changes and such drastic ones. The FIS needs to have a reality check. The first thing they need to face is that ski racing is dangerous! That is why people get hurt! I accept that I may get hurt every time I push out of the starting gate but I love this

Recently I made my way to Innsbruck. I had never been to Europe in the summer and I have to say it is paradise! Sooooo green everywhere, there is so much going on and you are surrounded by tons of history. I really enjoyed my time there and while I was there we decided to try and hike the Hahnenkamm.......TRIEDAfter roaming around the finish area for a while we finally found the trail, but we

My brother threw this film together from the Teva games this spring. It was a ton of fun to go down there and shred with my brothers and friends. My arch nemesis, Ken Hoeve still came out the victor but I was closer this year and will vow he will never beat me again. Michael and Blake my brothers had a very close race with Michael coming out on top by just 30 sec over a 20 minute corse.

In light of my recent mishap in Chamonix I decided to write a blog or my Top Four most embarrassing moments on skis. #1 Val gardena DH 2007I was the returning champion and all the lights were on me to do something good. this is what I did. #2 Chamonix DH 2011I felt comfortable on the course.

GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Wengen was looking good, I was feeling good and most importantly I was skiing good. My first training run was okay. I skied well and simply just skied, feeling the course out and trying to adapt to the sudden new time zone. I will tell you the first training run was one of my most tiring runs at Wengen. I went on some mega stiff skis, which turn well and I like the way they

Wow Bormio is such a stressful race! I would say it is the most stressful on tour. Once you think it is over you think you will relax but it was so stressful that after it was done we drove to Zurich had some pizzas (I had two and a salad, aiming for a food coma) and planned on heading straight to bed. It was around midnight when I TRIED to go to sleep. The anxiety of the race was still

Merry Christmas to all from the town of Bormio nestled in the middle of the Italian Alps. Christmas to me is a weird holiday, or I should say has been a weird holiday over the past several years. I spend it in Europe with the team, in Bormio usually. And we usually have a pretty good time. But I do miss my family, the christmas tree, all the delicious american food (the european isn't bad either

Team- We want to take part in the "giving season" with a fun promotion. We would like to raise $20 for each World Cup point scored from now until the end of 2010. "End of Year Push for Points!" We have a site: http://www.crowdrise.com/WCpoints We are also taking guesses on the total number of points (US men and women) scored in these last 10 races of 2010. Whomever gets closest will win

Wow! Don't get me wrong with all of this and congrats to all of those who skied well in Val Disere but that hill needs to go or change. Todays Slalom race was so tough to watch with half of the field going out and the drastic difference in times from when the sun went down. We saw this a year or two ago with Gauthier De Tessier. He was one of a couple who had sun and then it went black and

Heres what its like running a portion of the SG course in Beaver Creek. I just got my Contour camera and the thing is dope!!! But I need to figure out a better angle from my helmet. When I watch this I keep trying to look ahead. EnjoyP.S. Just arrived in Europe and its dumping in Munich like I have never seen before. Pretty cool. I predicted a big Euro snow year.

Last time I was here was the good ol' Olympics. It wasn't this cold -35! Holy hell! I'm gonna freeze my cahones off! But I'm fired up! The 2011 World Cup speed season has arrived! Tomorrow will be our first training run and all our summers prep has come together. The weather looks to warm up to a mighty -16 so I'm not worried. The races will go off and hopefully I execute like I should, along

I would have to say these few weeks before our final on snow training camp are the worst weeks of the year. All I want to do is ski but I have to restrain myself and keep working on my physical shape. It has been a fun few weeks of burning legs, lack of breath, puke on your shoes, lots of food and deep sleep at night but the problem is all I can think about is skiing! I have to fill myself

Well it has arrived! All the uniform and gear!! I don't want to take it off its so comfortable, or maybe because I'm too tired from this afternoons workout. But it doesn't matter. This is my Christmas, on the tour the US Team doesn't really get to experience much of a Christmas. Plus it snowed today! Does that mean Spyder is my santa claus? I guess I was a good boy this past year. Thanks

The last two weeks have been hell weeks at the gym. The first week I had Travis Ganong, Marco Sullivan, and Erik Fisher with me and we were pushing each other through the work outs. Then they left for home to train and or a little vacation (FISH!!). So I have been at it alone the past week. Luckily I have had our trainer, Alex, by my side. The dudes an animal, he just had twins and gets 2-4

Here's a little video I put together from my trip to Portillo, Chile with the Spyder crew in September. Super C, according to Chris Davenport, is one of the more famous couloirs in the world. It is around 4000 vertical feet of straight up climbing and an amazing weaving tight descent. I missed a lot of the skiing footage (sorry) because the camera I was using didn't do well with vibrations.

The moment I arrived home I went into a 5 day flu spell. NOT SWEET but it was sweet in a sense. I had the worst sweats for those five days and I think my body was cleansing me of something. I am not even sure if I had the flu or not? I would just pop tons of NyQuil and Ricolas day and night and it finally got better. I decided to rent my house out for the winter so while battling the flu I

Finally home. Flying sure takes it out of me, I woke up at 8 but felt like junk so I laid the for 2.5 hours and finally convinced myself to get up and make some breakie. On the menu, eggs artichoke hearts, toast w butter and jam and a hemp milk protein shake then a little Youtube uploading. ENJOY

Dealing with the elements is something you have to be good at when it comes to skiing especially ski racing. It sure can try your patience. This camp has been a good test of my patience but today it finally paid off. After 3 days of really warm temps and yesterdays rainy golf we really didn't know how the hill was going to be this morning. We woke up to clear skys and cold temps! But we got

Yesterday was pretty epic! Bluebird, no wind and we finally were able to strap our downhill boards on. The initial plan was DH training into GS but we just kept going with the DH all day. 9 runs of DH to be exact. It felt good to go fast once again, getting up and over my boards and letting them fly. It is critical to get the miles on the downhill skis, not just for training and comfort but

On our day off Travis Ganong and I couldn't handle sitting around the ol' apartment so we decided to hope in the trusty car and make our way to Arthurs Pass to check out this little resort called Temple Basin. Here is what we found.

The first week of our camp was a tough stretch but I got a bit out of it so I can't complain. We had four days of training, 1 SG and 3 GS. We were fighting the wind and the snow drifts it brings but the next weeks weather looks good and we are even talking about extending out training down here for a few days if the good weather holds. It is tough because up on the Mountain it is gnarly wind

The weather report is Mon snow, Tues, snow, Wed snow, Thursday snow, Fri high winds. But today we woke up to blue skies as far as we could see. When we arrived the vibe amongst the tech team was bleak. They instantly bailed to go to Queenstown to try and scrape together some training, but the WE, the SPEED TEAM!

Life as a world traveling snow slider may not seem too hectic unless we are hurtling our bodies down the mountain. Reality is my mind is most clear when I am doing just that. The chaos arrives when I am home and I have to catch up with real life! The week I have been home has been full of taxes, renting my home, sponsorship obligations, moving my home, visiting family, friends and nature,

From New Zealand I flew to Chile to go film with Warren Miller for their 2011 film and shoot for Spyders 2011-12 line. I figured out that heli time is the best cure for jet lag!

New Zealand is done! It has been a great training session down here! For one, I didn't hurt myself! I had a couple good crashes (hooking a GS pannel at 30-40mph) with a few bruises but nothing major. We experienced a lot of different snow conditions and course sets. Best of all I am weighing in over 100k! (220lbs). World Cup flat sections here I come. While down here we had some races. Our

Currently I am in Mt. Hutt, New Zealand training SuperG and GS with the speed team. It has been good thus far. Before Mt. Hutt we were in Queenstown training some GS and SL. Yes SL!!! Steven Nyman slalom version 2.0 is coming out! It was feeling good. I actually made my first two runs down the course without missing a gate and I was skiing well.

Beep beep beep, this morning my alarm went off, I jumped out of my bed in the darkness, grabbed my cell phone and dismissed the alarm. My body was beaming with energy, I said to myself, "yes! Let's go home!" In the dark environment I reached for the door and realized.....I was home and that the alarm was so early because I had to go to the airport! YIKES!

I made the Olympic team! Im pretty fired up right now! I came into the season with no expectations and not really thinking I was going to make the team because of the depth of our Downhill squad. My season started off slow but it has been picking up as it goes on and my knees have been feeling better and better. I feel like I have a lot better muscle control and strength. I last wrote about

Since I last wrote I have had a couple races, Val Gardena (one of my favorites) and Bormio (the most tiring course on tour) which are both in Italy. Val Gardena has been nice to the US Ski Team over the past few years and this year was okay. It was good in the sense that almost everyone scored World Cup points (top 30). But this year we were almost all from 15-30 where as last year we were all

This year is the 80th running of the Lauberhorn in Wengen, Switzerland. I keep seeing shots from back in the day. I will try to feed them to you. The hole skis in their early days! I like this shot, the old school jump position, legs together, holding the tuck, coming off of the hunschaft! The red suit, white helmet with the red racing stripe down the middle! Classic!

The U.S. downhill skier is perpetually searching for the "inner-peace vibe," and he's always ready with a quip, an intuitive musing.Like this one, when asked

After Beaver Creek I had the decision to go to Val Disere for one SG or head back up to Lake Louise for two Nor Am DHs and one SG. Seeing that I am currently ranked 189 in the world in SG I decided the latter so I can work on my points so I will have a better World Cup start position. The previous two world cups went well. I skied well but wasn't willing to throw it down the hill. I was

I decided to head back up to lake louise nor ams to get my feet back under me and more miles on my skis. Beaver creek was a disappointment but I really don't have any expectations right now. The good thing is I am feeling more and more comfortable on my skis everyday. I just need to iron out some ng issues and all will be good. Getting creative on the drive up to lake louise.

Done with Lake Louise. The beautiful lady has never treated me well but one day she will. It was good to ski a full length World Cup. My body needed to know what it has to take. It is definitely sore, I have only trained on a 1 minute Downhill on soft snow. Then jumping into 2 minute icy bumpy course was a shock! My butt was super sore but my body is adapting and getting stronger and

I'm Back on Tour and it feels good. Today was funny, I was extremely nervous! My summer training was cut short and I basically a 1/4 of the normal prep period I am used to, so I was standing in the start pretty nervous. Not really knowing what to expect, I was guessing how I was going to handle the course set here and the different snow. The training I have had until now basically consisted
