Como Depot here I come!

 Every year for just a couple of weeks in September Colorado gives me one more reason, on an endless list, why I live here. In late Sept. the aspen trees go nuts!
So my girl and I hop in the car and take a ride over Boreas Pass, to the good ol' Como Depot. Its an incredible drive, the leaves on the trees are electric,yellows, greens, and everything in between. I've seen a lot of different changing of the seasons, and I will put The High Country against the best of them. This is a great drive and ends perfectly with this awesome small town Inn. It has a pretty simple, but most definetely homemade menu. From green chill to bread pudding this place is the spot to end your trip over the pass. Probably the only spot as well...

Chris Ferris SK8 Competition

Every year since I can remember the Breckenridge skatepark has held an annual competition. Back in the day the names Lance Mountain, Omar Hassan, and others graced this park. And today after the passing of one of the communities most beloved members the one and only Chris Ferris, the competition continues on in his name. And the little kids that grew up in his shop....have done just that GROWN UP!!! These kids killed it! It was an absolute pleasure to shoot this contest and watch skateboarding done the right way.

Return to Costa Rica!!




 This spring I had the opportunity to return to one of my favorite countries...Costa Rica. Its been 5 years since I was last here, and I was very interested to see what had changed and what had remained the same....So I rented a car, packed my bags, and gathered all my surf gear!!! (sounds fantastic right)

Well theres one catch....I will be traveling with a Motley Crue of friends from Breckenridge! At any given time there was 7 to 10 of us running a muk, from giant pigs to giant waves. Bottles of ron and running from panamanian drug dealers to Rambo himself!
There was never a dull moment, if you have been to Breck you will immediately understand. I have chosen some of the more peaceful times of the trip, we can save Animal House for facebook...ENJOY!
