Another sick pow day at The Canyons!

Yesterday I went up to the Canyons with my girlfriend Corey and Alice Gong. There was about a 8″ of fresh but it was HEAVY. I wish I brought my camera out the previous day as it was ultra light blower pow. Due to time we only shredded the old part of the mtn where I knew I could find fresh turns. I haven’t had time to shoot much this year, and I need to get back into it more and keep practicing. Here’s some pics..

My boy Keith Austin put together an awesome event for VW/Audi enthusiasts in the SLC area today to get gifts for Toys For Tots.  We had about 20 or so cars meet up at Starbucks, we all b.s.ed about cars for a while then we all headed over to Toys R Us to get gifts for underprivledged kids.  Toys R Us was a mad house but we got a enough toys to fill the back of our Audi A4 Avant.   it was a killer time to do a good thing, meet awesome new peeps and do I what I love- talk about and check out cars.

Today was opening day at The Canyons Resort, they had one sweet trail open but it was fun none the less. I was with my usual crew of Never Summer Team Riders, Copper Hoffmeister, Ben Milsaps and the rest of my boys.  Mad props to Steve Duke, The Terrain Park Manager, for throwing up some features with the limited amount of snow and open trails. Hopefully we’ll get more snow soon.

Here is an awesome video on the history of the Volkswagen Rabbit GTI.  This vid was originally aired on TV in Europe.  Watch this and you’ll understand why I love my Rabbit GTI so much!

Today I went down to Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, UT to go support my bro Briar on his track day.  These are my first attempts at shooting motorsports, I’m pretty stoked on how a few pics turned out.

Today I went on a European only car cruise that  consisted of VW’s, Audi’s and a handful of BMW’s.  It was pretty bad ass!   Since getting my 83 MK1 GTI project car I’ve met a lot of rad new people and have gotten to hang out with other gear heads who have share a passion for automobiles.  We all met near the University of Utah in a parking lot, I was expecting the usual 25 cars or so but the parking lot kept on filling up as enthusiasts poured in by the droves. I have no idea how many  cars actually showed up, but there was a ton.

At least 100 cars convoyed up from The U with a Lamborghini and a Lotus leading the way through Immigration Canyon and ending  at East Canyon Reservoir.  The drive offered lots of twisties and scenic views.  The foliage change was pretty awesome as well.  We headed back to SLC on 80 where it was pretty wide open, I had the GTI’s whopping 85 mph speedo buried most of the way back.  We all reconvened at Winners Motorsports, a go cart race track,  where pizza and drinks were provided. Everybody proceeded to talk about nothing but car shit, I’d never experienced anything like it at all!

Mad props to the guys at Style Projekts aka STP Euros and TDC Motorsports for organizing the event and providing food! I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Here’s some pics, my buddy Jeremy took most of them.

Today I went wakeboarding with my buddy Tommy DeAngelo of High Altitude Wakeboarding on his sweet Supra 22SSV.. Water temp was around 60 and there were zero boats on the lake..  The water was glass for a while then a storm set in. Here are a  few pics I snapped, some of my best wake ones yet. I learned some new focus techniques that seemed to work pretty well.

Here are some pics of me and some other random pics
