Aspen

7:40 am outside my window at the Armada condo, was hoping for sun but I’ll take some fresh snow too

And it’s on again! Back in Aspen and X-Games for my 7th time in my career, starting to get old for real! Had an insanely fun day in Breckenridge yesterday, skiing freeway (big park) in the sun and temperatures around -5°C with Banks and his filmer Jake Strassman. Didnt really spend any time trying to get footage though, as I was on a mission to land some new tricks. Eventually, I got two new ones, which feels amazingly good, the more advanced you become as a skier the fewer are the times you actually try and land something new, so that made my day and boosted my confidence level for this week.

The slopestyle course looks amazing, it’s 2 rail features and 4 jumps this time, so that’s definitely in my favor…going to give you a course preview today after practice.

Time to go ski!
