Braden Dean Dot Com

I arrived in Colorado on Wednesday night with Voleurz filmer/Dad Darren Rayner and fellow Voleurz/Ogio/Coors rider Barry Hartman. Our plan was to check out/slap some high fives at SIA in Denver and then head up to Aspen for X games and a week of filming before heading down through breckenridge on our way home. The obvious “snowboard trip disorganization” occurred, this was highlighted when we realized that my return ticket was not booked back with the rest of the crew on February 7th but somehow a month later on March 7th. Thanks expedia.

Day 1 at SIA ended with a trip out to the Burton Party which featured “Free booze/Lap dances” all night at the local “Gentlemans Club” and day 2 “began” the same way. After a 2 hour sleep we were back at the show, drinking free whiskey on the rocks at the Rome booth and beers at Transworld. After a quick meeting with Pamela Anderson we got a chance to see the first viewing of a short film produced by Jeremy Jones and his Protect Our Winters organization. The video talks about climate change, how it has affected us as skiers/snowboarders and how it will continue to affect us and everything from our drinking water to farming. Watch the full movie and check out what the POW organisation is all about Here:

We drove up to Aspen last night. We’ll be here for the next couple days, shooting some features on and off the hill and checking out X games Slopestyle finals tomorrow at Buttermilk. Congrats to our friend TJ Schiller for putting down the first ever double cork 1620 last night in Ski Big Air and winning a silver medal!
