Pretty stoked to go and check out the 2014 Olympic venue in Sochi, Russia. I had never been to Russia so I ready for a new experience.

| Welcome to Sochi |
After the longest travel I have ever endured, I made it to Sochi, surprisingly with all my bags. 1 hour up the road you will find Rosa Khutor, the venue for freestyle ski and snowboard.
Rosa Khutor Ski Resort is a full on construction site right now. They are doing such a great job with the venues, and I believe in a 1 year it will be such an amazing experience.

The freeriding at this resort has so much potential...If the military grade security will let you by or you have the proper accreditation. I had the chance to sneak in a day of knee deep powder up at 2400M and blue bird sky's.

All in all it was a great trip to Sochi. Qualifying 10th and finishing 18th is not what I want for a result. But I am learning from my mistakes and moving on to the rest of the season.
Ranked 3rd for World Cup Over-all.
Next for me is Arosa and Veysonnaz Switzerland and Sierra Nevada, Spain for the final 3 World Cup's of the season.
Stay tuned!
