The Ordinary Friend

So I am sorry I took months off of blogging but I have been super busy, but even though I am busier than ever now I feel this would be a great blog to get the ball rolling again.

I am really stoked to see this movie for a variety of reasons. Seth’s story is one that is quite amazing and still evolving. At 37 years young Seth is still pioneering skiing everyday he touches the snow. Its actually even more interesting to me now that I have gotten to know Seth as a very good friend.

I remember watching Seth in MSP’s early movies and being like holy shit this guy is my hero. He was someone I looked up to huge in skiing and was totally starstruck when I would see him randomly in Crested Butte, or anywhere else for that matter. I will never forget one Halloween Day down at Wolf Creek with Adam and a couple other buddies we saw Seth shredding and immediately tried to follow him to watch him ski. Obviously within about a minute of getting of the lift he was gone since we had no chance of keeping up.

Fast forward a couple years later and I was driving down to Wolf Creek again for some early season pow shredding but this time meeting up with my good friend Seth at a hotel in Pagosa Springs that just happened have every cop in the county in the parking lot due to a disgruntled worker calling in a bomb threat. I walk into our room and he just looks over like, it wasn’t me. It is funny how time flies in this industry but I am really glad to call Seth a good friend and get to learn from him when out trying to keep up with him skiing. Maybe after this movie comes out I will sit down and write a book about all the good times I have gotten to spend with this Ordinary Guy who happens to be an Extraordinary skier.
