Q & A

Talk about your most epic splitboard adventure:

It would be hard to pinpoint just one... Nepal, Bolivia, Alaska, Antarctica, the High Sierra- they all lend some form of excitement and epic'ness!

 

What has most influenced your backcountry riding?

Our elders that have come before us to help show us the way - Jim Zellers, Tom Burt, Craig Kelly, Jeremy Jones, Marco Siffredi.

 

 

What are you most excited about for the 24/25 season?

I'm looking forward to releasing our new film, "Papsura: The Peak of Evil" to the world. It follows the journey of myself and Jerry Mark to Northern India to climb and ride a mythical and beautiful 6400 mountain. We will be premiering it throughout December and January, and it'll go live at the end of January. Other than that I'm psyched to dip into the backyard and up to the alpine when conditions allow!

What inspires you?

The unknown limitless possibilities ahead.

 

Why ride Spark R&D gear?

Spark provides unwavering faith and confidence in my equipment. I know I can trust these bindings while in serious environments and focus on the task at hand.
