Human traffic cone 👋 • • •

Bopped, skied, and made fun videos around @vailmtn with @freeskiermagazine and an excellent crew • • • we successfully tested next years skis/outerwear yes, but we mostly made ourselves laugh, and that’s all that matters 🫡🙂‍↕️ • • • except for deliverables those also matter • • •

Special shoutouts to @kirkpscully for patiently editing all the weird shit @jordygk and I came up with, @ianfdoherty our muse, @lief.dawg for keeping us organized and enthused, @donnypelletier207 and @jonnymoseley for making an impactful event of @ski_for_ms , @gabriel_rovick for shooting heaters, and the rest of the @freeskiermagazine team for keeping the wheels turning while we ran around with cameras, iPhones, and a rowdy group of Vail locals + a few out of towners who absolutely crushed everything we asked them to do • • •

Swipe for some of the videos we made, bts, and a decreasingly organized array of life life slices in the mountains • • •

For @unclaimedbag winter 24/25 • • •

After our shoot the week prior, my pal wanted to take some studio shots with as much gear as possible • • •

The goal was maximalism • • • so we pretty much piled on whatever pieces I had with me in LA • • • the ski mountaineer in me cringes a bit as this is the opposite of fast, light, and dialed (we like to have things inside the pack as much as possible), but it worked for the goal of the day • • •

Always funky when you shoot ski stuff in a studio • • •

Voiceover in the booth with @jon_portman and @iamryanwheeler • • •

I had to listen to the first clip a few times to realize all three characters were my voice — I remember old Disney commercials with folks like Robin Williams in the booth going bonkers — tried to channel a bit of that energy as the Constable, who’s kind of a dick, and several other folks in Jon’s animated Parisian world • • •

Director pants • • •

Proud to direct behind the monitor, act in front of it, and help bring Beau’s script to life with a group of friends from multiple parts of life • • • Swipe for BTS, maybe the most cringe shot I’ve ever seen, swing lessons at the wrap party, and some pow skiing to boot • • •• • •

So grateful for the team, who wore more hats than can be properly credited • • •

Glad to have been asked to write a story on @madisonnnrose for @freeskiermagazine • • •

It’s easy to write about pals, but it’s even easier to write about old roommates • • • a few hundred words over the limit later — with particular attention paid to expressing her views and voice — we landed on a story that fits her multifaceted personality • • •

Thanks to @jimmiryan @myshellparker @amieski @parkincostain @daronrahlves @elysesaugstad and @juliancarr for sharing your reflections • • •

Pick up a copy to support print media and one of skiing’s brightest characters • • •

Love you dude • • •

Coffee bag design for @jacksonholeroasters • • •

A few weeks ago I posted initial design concepts for my coffee bag design with @jacksonholeroasters • • • here’s the final • • • along with my number two choice • • • I particularly dig the coffee beans as snow motif • • •

Coffee has been a longtime goal for me in design land, as there’s something particularly satisfying about creating art art on something tactile • • • maybe wine, chocolate, beer, or liquor next? • • • if anyone’s got any new businesses or friends starting vineyards — hit. Me. Up. • • •
