Tell us about your background:
My deepest roots are in the Sierras in California, but I grew up in Oregon skiing at Mt. Bachelor and Mt. Hood. I started learning about backcountry skiing when I was quite young, so when I stopped competing in Slopestyle the transition was quite natural. Oregon doesn’t have much big mountain terrain accessible from chairlifts, so I had to learn everything foot powered. I fell in love with the peaceful rhythm of human powered skiing, making it a priority to do it as much as possible.
What was your craziest adventure or experience so far:
There've been so many wild adventures in my life, but one of my favorite memories is a very special trip to the Sierra with my friend Zak. We flew his 1946 canvas airplane from Bend Oregon to Bishop California to climb the peak I ’m named after, Mt. Tyndall. We continued the trip staying above 3500m for a few days, cruising through some unique alpine areas and climbing some other 4000m peaks. It’s not the most extreme or the most challenging trip of my life, but it was a beautiful experience that I’ll cherish forever.
Bucket list / Dream trip:
There’s so much I want to do in the mountains from Kazakhstan to Alaska, but there’s more to life than dream trips and pushing it in the mountains. I really want to spend more time skiing in the Sierras connecting to my own roots, and to just grow as a human being.
Why become a Haglöfs Ambassador:
I wanted to be a Haglöfs ambassador because I think they make the best gear in the game, while taking a sustainable approach to operating a global business. In my life, I’ve never taken the standard path; Haglöfs makes it possible to create my own path as they create a new path in our industry.
What´s your favorite Haglöfs gear:
L.I.M Down Hood, it's incredibly light, warm, and breathable. I take it with me everywhere.
