No question, we had a great powder season.  I rode the deepest snow I’ve ever ridden this winter.
Granted, the weather sucked most of the time the snow was deep!  But we did have 6 or 7 deep, deep
powder days that really made our world turn!  And now with chute-climbing season underway,
the days are getting crazy!  We literally have 50 first ascents in new areas lined up.  So I need to
ask all you Thunderstruck fans out there, let’s pray and hope for a SUNNY April and May!  The more
sun we have, the more of those first ascents we’ll take down!  So sunshine, please show your face!

This is a picture of the new sled I just built, it’s a Yamaha Nytro 162 with a pump-gas MC Xpress
270hp turbo kit!  It runs amazing.  Built by Mark Leipheimer of Butte, MT (MCX USA), this is
truly a dream come true.  Special thanks to all my sponsors who made this sled and my riding season
come true as dreamy winterlands!!  My sponsors ROCK!!
