    Hey man, could you do a video of how you met the people you board with, and how your relationship with them has grown? Would be cool to see some photos from the past to, or memorable moments on video.

    Yewww looked gnarly! Last vlog you made a point about people booking trips to resorts from watching the vlogs. Just so you know I'm coming out to Northstar 3/17-3/19 all the way from Pennsylvania to try and catch some of the snow this season! Watching your videos and especially your powder day video at northstar this year without a doubt influenced my decision. Keep on doing you boss, glad that Taos was able to deliver the stoke and connected with you on a human level for us to also enjoy as your viewers✌

      I think the wall is steeper. There is way steeper runs you can do on kachina then these guys did. Far skier right is probably the steepest, dog leg and k2 is probably the steepest pitch skiers left side. The main face of kachina is pretty doable and not that steep, you will see Texans with jeans skiing it.
