Family Shred Day
December 1, 2011
In the past, I have used code names effectively to manipulate my kids into certain behaviors. For example, “Operation Super Athlete” was somewhat successful in increasing the kids’ broccoli intake. With age, however, the boys have become increasingly wary of code names. Read More ...

Family Matters
December 1, 2011
Instead, I will reference Dickens: Family ski trips have resulted in the best of times… and also the worst of times. Truth is, as a parent you can do everything right and your little mini-me might still have a huge, public meltdown. Chalk it up to physical exhaustion. Read More ...

The Deeper Message
November 1, 2010
The mission was to film backcountry freeriding for Jones’ recently released signature movie, Deeper. Maybe you’ve caught wind of TGR’s Deeper project already, but if not, the film chronicles Jones’ search for next-level wilderness snowboarding terrain on foot — or on splitboards to be precise.

Filming Freestyle at the Human Pace
November 1, 2008
Welcome to the fossil-fueled lifestyle of the ski and snowboard film industry for the last 20 years. Though it has only become apparent in recent winters, there is no denying that such petrol-fed cold-smoke fantasies are a serious conflict of interest for an industry that will live or die on the frontlines of the battle against global warming. But despite this contradiction, the cameras in the copters roll on. Read More ...

The Snow Dreams Are Made Of
November 1, 2007
