Teaching the Youngsters How to Jump!

Travis & Marie from Bill N on Vimeo.

One of the most fun days of skiing that I had last spring was a day spent skiing with a friend of mine and his kids! Marie and I got to take the kids all around Squaw on a powder day and teach them how to jump off of cliffs! I remember how when I was their age, how my mighty might coaches first taught me how to jump off a cliff, and that right there was a turning point! From then on, I had a love for skiing, jumping off things, and pushing my limits, and I am glad that this happened because I love where my life has taken me and love all the amazing people and adventures that I have had since in the ski world! 

I am flying down to Chile today for my first on snow camp of the summer, so getting back into the "ski mode" here is a fun little video that my friend put together! 

Thanks to the entire Ngyuen family!

The Start Haus



I am happy to announce that I will be working with the Start Haus this upcoming winter season! The Start Haus is an awesome ski shop located in Truckee California, and they provide world class race gear and ski tuning services.  I have been racing World Cup for 4 years now, and they tune and prepare skis the exact same way that my Atomic ski technicians do!  I also have been getting my boots all dialed in by the boot master Jim Shaffner! So if you are in Truckee and need some ski gear or a tune up, go check out the Start Haus or look them up online at www.starthaus.com
