Dear Interweb,

I accomplished a lot away from the halfpipe while I was in Summit County for the US Open.  I opened my first American bank account (in order to stop losing $$ with the current Canadian exchange rate), skied a pretty fun jumping day at Breckenridge, made this website of mine far more attractive (thanks to some assistance from Jeff Cedeno!) and killed it at the Silverthorne gym. If you ever find yourself at the gym in Silverthorne, I recommend you jump on one of the stationery bikes with the dragon-chasing video game attached.  It’s the greatest invention ever: you can chase dragons and earn points by cycling, resulting in the time passing way faster than it normally would and you work way harder. 

Also, I have begun an independent study university course, Political Economy, which will be occupying all my time that was otherwise reserved for facebook, newschoolers and youtube.  Thank you to everyone at Quest University who has helped me organize this!

The most entertaining thing I did off  the ski hill was visit the newly built Woodwards training facility at Copper.  Check the pics!

I heart Trampolines

Snow flex ramps: A contraption that combines my two worst fears of water ramps and foam pits

Skate Bowl! There's also a pretty sick mini ramp on the other side of the gym

I am writing this on a flight from Denver to LA that we caught right after the event.  We’ll go on to Tokyo tomorrow to compete at World Championships in Inawashiro!

Sincerely,

Roz G
