Chicago IL

Born in Chicago. I grew up learning to ski on landfills in the Midwest. At 18 I moved to Colorado and learned to ski powder. Injuries and age have forced me out of the terrain park, now I enjoy skiing powder and dropping cliffs. I don't mind hiking and climbing to find good lines to ski.

DonDante liked DonDante's story Vail Backcountry Skiing Mushroom Bowl

Vail Sidecountry at it's best. I love Mushroom Bowl b/c it requires a mandatory Cliff Jump. Keeps the wannabes out and makes the powder last for the riders who can really hang. This was filmed three days after any significant snow. A good watch with g

Nice hat, you look like a Gaper from Texas. I had a buddy who charged that same cornice and bailed and did cartwheels halfway down the run. Then spent half the day searching for his ski in the snow. Check out my video of Earl's Bowl which is directly behind Lovers Leap (you have to hike/skate to get there).
