TWSnow - Spot Check

        I had my wisdom tooth taken out today. What an odd experience it is to wake up from anesthesia for the first time! I'm sucking on a bloody cotton swab now. Mmm...

        When I got home, I opened my new Transworld Snowboarding magazine and was pleasantly surprised to see my photo ran for a Powder Ridge "Spot Check". Congratulations to Yusaku Horii for being published in a photo of a small Minnesota ski resort after flying all the way from his home base - Japan. He is such an entertaining rider to watch and has one of the best looking method grabs I have ever seen. Thanks goes to Michael Weiner and the people at Powder Ridge for making this photo shoot come alive. Finally, thanks to Chris Wellhausen, Photo Editor of Transworld Snowboarding, for giving me the opportunity to shoot this assignment. I appreciate all of your help!
