My man Louie Vito is really puttin it down this year. Not only did he take his first podium at Winter X but he threw the weekend’s gnarliest jumpoff with Yelawolf and Z-Trip at The Belly Up in Aspen. In this photo by Craig Wetherby, Mason Aguirre, Trevor Andrew, Stephen Malbon and I are giving Yelawolf and his DJ Artime their first look at some pure Colorado bluebird while Louie was perfecting his run in the halfpipe. Check out some more shots on Radcollector and stay tuned for the video edit with Nike 6.0 next week.

I been so craze for the last couple weeks I didn’t really have a chance to talk about how it went down in Aspen. X Games were fresh, the Santogold x Trouble Andrew show was off the chain, and the shredding killed it! We were hitting chest deep pockets in the trees everywhere! Sometimes I can’t understand why 40 year olds go to the mountains to drive taxis and make pizzas, but when it snows like it snowed this year its crystal fucking clear.

I mostly made the rounds with homie Craig Wetherby and he took all the pics so consider this a HighSnobiety x Frank151 X Games gallery jumpoff, aiiiight?!
