crossing the equator

In a plane full of people, crossing the equator with Flavia, my daughter Jasmine and her husband Bruce. Traveling from winter to summer. From my mom to Flavia's mom. From English to Spanish. In less than 24 hours.

Julian Carr jumps 150+ feet on skis

My son, Julian Carr, a competition free-skier, did a major jump last week. Here's the mail he sent and a picture.

 
   Hi all again,

   2 days ago I jumped the 165 footer in Wolverine Cirque that Jamie
Pierre jumps in TGR's 'High Life'.  Skis stayed on and I skied away
clean (no digging out of a bombhole).  Greg Epstein, JK, Shroder, and
the Jackson boys filmed it on High Definition and was photographed by
Will Wissman.  Got a front flip off of a 50 footer for good measure
later on that Will shot as well.
 
   4 days ago I front flipped an 85 footer at Alta.  Pete O'brien w/
TGR filmed it on 16mm and Brent Benson shot it.  6 days ago I was able
to pull off 13 front flips off of 4 different 35 - 40 footers.  Each
one was either shot by Adam Clark, Steve Lloyd, and Will Wissman -
along with 'Wahsatch Powder Productions' filming some of them.
 
  Way Stoked !!!!
 
  From all of this Will Wissman has invited me on a heli trip to
Whistler to shoot.  I leave on December 19.
 
  I have a shot in the Powder's Photo Annual.  Adam Clark shot it - an
ad for the Freeskiing world tour - 40 footer at Snowbird.  Hope all is
well with you.
 
  Cheers,
 
  Julian
