An adventure to Reno is not complete without a stop to one of the many lovely casinos! We chose the Atlantis as our next stop. All you can eat sushi, gelato and gold grillz! What more can you ask for?

All done...

MY own JPI! (Jackie Paaso Invitational)

28 Oct

Last Saturday I traveled over to Boreal for the 4th annual Jibassic Pro Invitational. After watching the 400 plus skiers and riders that also had a blast, I decided to test my own skills in the park. It had been a while since I ventured into the park. Boxes, ugh I hate boxes. I have a minor fear of boxes that stems from my last time snowboarding. I broke the transverse process blah, blah, blah. Anyways, I’m officially over that fear as of October 25th, 2008. I had sooo much fun. And I killed it to! Ha ha, yeah right…

I think Jason Badgley my TM put it best;

” You look like a spectator who just grabbed some skis and said i can do this.”

Um ya, killing it!

Um ya, killing it!

Ok, I know what you’re all thinking. Did she make it to the end? Heck yeah, here’s the proof!

So extreme!

So extreme!

It was so much fun, even if I looked like a total idiot! I can’t wait til Friday to get out there again…

Go check out the trailer for my new movie!

AK the Hard Way The call of the dreams peaks of Alaska is usually answered by elite pros or high-flying heli-skiers. Three unpolished athletes, and their dog companion, decide to take their own route and embark on a road trip and backcountry ski journey to Haines, AK. While pursuing their goals along this pilgrimage, twists of nature and fate deal them loss, struggle, and surprise. AK the Hard Way paints an intimate portrait of how dreams, expectations, and realities can diverge in the raw exposure to life´s adventure.
