Sledding + Veil Pass

My first few days in Colorado have been pretty eye opening. Theres so many close resorts, with such good terrain. Had a pretty amazing day yesterday. Got to go sledding in the back country for the first time. Matto Smith and I hooked up with the local boys from Distracted Media, and went out to Veil Pass.

Veil Pass Car park

We towed out back in hope of building a jump, but it clouded over, so the decision was made to go find something to jib.

Matto & Scott, Scoping

We went scoping for a nice tree bonk, but came across this Jetty on a frozen lake, and couldn’t resist.

The Set Up

Dug out the Jetty, built a kicker, and after a few sled tow ins across the lake, it was on. A few hammers went down, got a tight sequence of Matto doing a super steezy 5-0 180 out. Along with some airs right over the whole dock.

I also met up with kiwi crew in Frisco today. Mitch Brown, Stef Zeestraten, Kendal Brown and James Hamilton are some of the NZ team staying there at the moment. Unfortunately Stef got broke off today, shooting for a Dutch Mag, doing some ligament damage in his ankle. But he’ll be back charging within a few weeks.

Will hopefully start shooting with Mitch within the next few days…
