Logan and I recently competed in the showcase showdown last weekend and had a great time. The usual went down. i fell in one of my runs... didn't make it to the finals and Logan landed his and made it to the finals and got 5th place. This was the 11th annual showcase showdown and it has evolved over time for sure, it used to be a quarterpipe contest in the
spring up Whistler. Now they have turned it into a nighttime pipestyle
contest at the base of Blackcomb and it is great times. It is spectator
friendly with tons of prizes and a beer garden. It got really warm so the
course was falling apart a bit and the landing to the hips were getting
sketchy but i had fun hitting the hips and the take offs were nice. Pete
Anderson and Trini were on the mic being hilarious and making the crowd laugh as they tear in to some of the competitors subtlety. All in all the event was fun and we had fun shaking it up at the old Garfinkles
afterwards! Dom Gauthier took this photo of me on the hip. check it out!

The conditions in the back country of Whistler have been great the past
few days. I have a sweet sun burn and have been shredding tons of
pow. I have been going up snowmobiling with Kale Stephens, Nick
Gregory, and Jake Koia as well as we have been shooting photos with
Brad Heppner and Scott Serfas and filming with Morgan Rice. We wake
up at about 5:45 in the morning and finish around 7:00 when the sun
goes down. Yesterday we were scoping out a spot to build a jump and I
rode over a roll next to the zone to check out the landing. As i was
riding down on my snowmobile i saw a bunch of snow billowing up in
front of me like a small wave and i realized i was in the middle of an
avalanche! Right after i realized i was in the avalanche i felt it
pulling me and my machine to the side so i instantly pinned the
throttle and ripped over the rubble building up in front of me and
raced away from it. Luckily no one was hurt and the avalanche did not
travel far...
