Summer shredding.

Halley — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:05:38 +0000

So I put together this video for Mountain Creek and LHM Wake School. Thanks to this partnership, I’ve added wakeboarding into the rotation. I have to say, days and experiences like this make me think I have the best job in the world. I still can’t say I enjoy summer, but I hate it a little less now.

Motorcycles and mannequins.

Here, we’ll highlight some of the unspoken gems located in and around Vernon, New Jersey. Gems include scenic motorcycle rides, creepy mannequins, and grease-less hot dogs. Oh, you’re in for a treat.

Acrobatic bear sighting.

Bear encounters are fun. Especially when they can disappear, reappear, and climb faster than you can say, “Holy shit. The bear just climbed up that tree.”

Hiking… but mostly complaining.

Halley — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:55:34 +0000

I figured I’d try something new, hoping to find a new hobby for the summer months. Turns out, hiking is a bitch… but can also be rewarding should you find yourself atop something really high and beautiful.

2010 US Open of Mountain Biking

Halley — Sat, 29 May 2010 18:59:15 +0000

Mountain bikers from around the world were flooding into Diablo Freeride Park at Mountain Creek this weekend. I’ve actually never been downhill mountain biking before, so I spoke to some of the racers to get their take on the Open’s course. Can’t wait to give it a shot sometime soon.

Mountain Creek bid farewell to the 2009-2010 winter season while raising money for a local cause this past Saturday. The 1st ever Stockpile Session brought 200 diehard skiers and snowboarders back to the hill one last time. Thanks to their generosity, nearly $1,500 was raised for the VSMO.

Demo Reel is Go!

Halley — Mon, 17 May 2010 20:59:22 +0000

After weeks of editing, I’ve finally finished putting together my demo reel. I’m super interested in the broadcasting, TV host realm, so I spliced together my best moments on camera from Mount Snow and Mountain Creek.

Give it a gander. If you find yourself dazzled and would like to work together, hit me up at the contact info below. Thanks for watching!

The Stockpile Session at Mountain Creek

Halley — Fri, 14 May 2010 16:29:17 +0000

It’s official. Hell has frozen over – people will have the chance to snowboard. In Jersey. In May. Thanks to Mountain Creek’s 22′ quarter pipe and a pretty mild spring, there’s still snow to be had.

Those of you that are still sliding spring slush out west might not appreciate such a gift. (Spoiled little brats.)

So! On Saturday, May 22nd, Mountain Creek will be hosting a hike park benefiting the VSMO (Vernon Skatepark Memorial Organization).

Expect to see a few jibs, music by DJ Pat Tyler, a BBQ and a bunch of winter-hungry teenagers shredding on Big Bear from 10am – 4pm. Mountain Creek’s Red Bull Skate Bowl will also be open in the South lodge.

We <3 endless winters! Want to attend? RSVP on Facebook here.

West Coast Tour: Northstar-at-Tahoe

Halley — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:46:21 +0000

First of all, Northstar’s village is crazy – Stratton-esque. The shuttle system is also pretty convenient. Oh, and A+ for the bathroom in the middle of the parking lot! Two cups of coffee and an hour drive later makes you appreciate those little luxuries. (And the fact that I didn’t need this… Ew. Gross.)

So we took the gondola to the base area from the village. It was surprising finding a relatively small mountain. I guess the village scene and grandiose shuttle system gave us different expectations.

The park at Northstar is very similar to Carinthia at Mount Snow and Mountain Creek’s park setup. The whole area is serviced by a high speed quad – each trail branches off into different sized parks. I think we lapped Moonshine and Pinball most of the day. Good stuff.

First time…

- hitting a streetstyle box (Great success!)
- trying a c-box (…though it definitely wasn’t the first time my tailbone felt the repercussions of not doing something correctly.)
- sliding a rainbow box twice my size (Great success 2.0)
