Our humble abode smack dab in my favorite Summer town, nothing beats chillin in the warm Oregon wild after a day on the hill. I've been coming to Hood for team shoots like this for over 20 years and I always leave already looking forward to the next one.

It's 8:00am and of course I'm carrying all the skis from the car to the hill... I would never allow athletes to be burdened with the hassle of carrying their own skis! They need to focus on hydrating before a long day of sun bathing.

Nothing but bluebird skies and slushy slush on the horizon, the best skiing weather only second to a pow day. If you've never been to Hood in the Summer, make sure you do before you die!

Big-mountain shredders Giray Dadali and Jake Little share the stoke. After these ski models posed for this photo, we carefully carried them down the hill so they wouldn't get hurt before their next modeling gig.

We bumped into 13-year-old Nate who's spending the entire summer at Wy'East Windells Academy. He flew all the way from Australia to ride this stunt ditch (and it's Winter there!!!). We put the first pair of new Limited Edition "Aloha" Max skis on his feet and he immediately got inducted into the Bunch. Note the OG Tom Wallisch Polo 🙏.

But first, no team trip to Hood would be complete without Huckleberry shakes! I've sat at this counter drinking the best shake in the world with some of the best athletes in the world for over 20 years. From the skiboard days with Mike Nick, to the newschool days with Skogen Sprang, the early Traveling Circus days with Will & Andy, and now these hooligans.
Hope to see ya there next year!
