Here’s the full line that resulted in a total break of my Tibia and fracture of my Fibula. It’s hard to watch, but for a second I was enjoying even the shittiest of conditions over in Austria. This was going to be my last run in Europe before heading home, relieved and ready for a new chapter. Out of nowhere a hidden rock lined up so perfectly with the angle and speed to break my leg… I don’t think it’s a bone density problem, but I will be upping my collagen 😂 With original plans to spend the spring filming with @tetongravity in Alaska, it hurts… but, the surgery went well and a full recovery is expected ☺️ @stio @k2.skis @scottfreeski
Comp season is about to start, and I’m already starting to feel the stress related to it. Last season started in the worst possible way, making a technical mistake was something I wasn’t anticipating, and with that comes a series of questions on whether or not I should be doing what I’m doing. This lack of self confidence improved throughout the season as I managed to let go a little more, but it just seems to come back every year. So yeah, here’s what went on in my head multiple times. I’m not posting this to ask for encouraging words or to seek validation, but only to showcase that it’s not always easy to cope with what goes on inside our minds. Trying to take things more chill this year, wish me luck (on the mindset mainly, not the skiing) @freerideworldtour @gopro @head_freeskiing @head_sportswear @snowlifegloves @monsroyale

I’ve decided to call it ‘The Spanish Curse’ 🙃 i love Spain but Spain doesn’t seem to like me…. I was so bummed about this. Anywaaaay, not a lot of words needed here, onto the next one! Upside was catching up with FWT fam 🫶🏻 so good to see everybody! @freerideworldtour @head_freeskiing @head_sportswear @backcountryaccess @monsroyale @snowlifegloves @distilleriemorand @verbier4vallees @yatoo_fitness @mountainairverbier
Confidence: 100% Execution: 0% Knee: filing a complaint 📝💀 For context, this is supposed to be a double takeoff, but I lost balance on the first drop, and ofc it sent me off balance on the second drop 😂 This was probably the biggest crash I’ve had this season so far, don’t skip mobility workout😉 #skiing #freeride #crash
Snowboarder's Brutal Injury & Painful Comeback A-Basin Opening Day
Today’s line just felt healing. First proper steep north face of a season that’s been anything but predictable but on the other hand very predictable. Grateful I didn’t make any major bad calls this winter and even more that all my friends stayed safe and almost all injury-free. Choosing not to ride a line is never the wrong decision - that’s something this low-snow season really drilled into us. Stoked for deep, stable winters ahead, but also thankful for all those mellow freeride days and the chance to live this beautiful lifestyle with my beloved ones. . @the_mountainstudio @vandeer_redbull_sports @atkbindings @scarpa_at @pocsports . #skimo #skimountaineering #skitouring #freeriding #freeskiing
Prayers for anotha reset 😮‍💨🙏🏼
Skiing and snowboarding injuries are no joke. Making a comeback takes immense physical and mental strength 💪
I’m writing this today feeling incredibly blessed. ❤️‍🔥 I’ve been posting a little bit on my story about my injury updates, but I’d love to give you all a formal update. In competition at X Games 2026 I took a slam that was severe. I thought about posting it again on here, but since I’m still in the hospital I felt it was too much. My injuries are intense, but completely recoverable. I fractured my C1 in my neck, fractured T1, and discovered that I had previously broken T3 in the past and had no idea. I also dislocated my left hip and it broke part of my labrum off, which I needed surgery to reconstruct. Despite all of that madness, I am already up and walking and I’ve been cleared to begin PT. I am expected to make a full recovery and be back on snow soon! Continually, after the crash, and leaning into faith, something really shifted for me mentally. When you’re faced with the possibility of losing everything and are given another chance, your perspective changes. I feel deeply grateful just to be here — to say hi to my loved ones, to eat yummy food, to laugh with my friends. I’m grateful to be alive, and to be living this wild, beautiful experience of being me. I hope each and every one of you can find moments of gratitude in your everyday life, even when things feel heavy or hard. I’d also like to thank the talented XG ski patrol, medical staff, and doctors who have helped me stay safe. You guys are absolutely fantastic. Thank you everyone and I have so much love for you all. #ski #xgames #xgamesmode #skiing #skier
