What I'm doing right now (no snow, still training)

The Mammoth part of my season is done and I'm home. But my season isn't over — in our house, the season doesn't end until I'm back at Mammoth for winter. This year that means it ends November 18, my last day on snow in Austria. Until then, here's what my weeks look like:

• Workouts. Legs mostly. Airbag camp is basically hiking with extra steps, so the legs have to be ready.
• Skateboarding. Keeps the balance and board feel honest when there's no snow.
• Trampoline. Still the routine — about an hour, four days a week. Every spin I've landed started making sense on the tramp first.
• The jib setups. The Snowboard Addiction one, and the one my dad built in the yard. (26 days on the homemade one in season one. It's held together by hope. It works though.)

None of this looks cool on camera. That's kind of how you know it's the real stuff.

Then the calendar gets serious: Japan, August to October — around 64 days on airbags, which is six times longer than my first Japan trip. After that, Austria until November 18, on a glacier, to finish the season on real snow. Five days after that last run is my official two-year mark on a snowboard: November 23.

The goals between now and then, written down so you can hold me to them: consistent 540s, all four 720s, and at least one 900 on snow. Goals, not promises. But I've got all four 540s and a 720 on snow already this season, so the list isn't crazy. See you in Japan.
