South American September Shred Sessions: Portillo Chile Official Report The 15/16 northern hemisphere ski season for me was amazing. I was very fortunate and lucky to ski the terrain and snow that I did, and have the ability to travel to many awesome places. I give thanks daily for my blessings. After closing out my North American season where I grew up on Kachina peak New Mexico in June of 2015 I was forced to be a responsible adult and focus on my career.
