Mission Statement
#liveforthemoment
I come to the mountains to live. My mission is to pursue my passion for adventure, creativity, and love for the outdoors through Ski-Mountaineering and Mountain Running. For me, the ultimate expression of both takes form through #humanpowered endurance events and adventures. I strive to promote passion and expression as form an outlet for overall well-being and to provide the space for others to find and activate their most passionate expressions through my coaching program, Microcosm Coaching.

TJ’s winters are not limited to spending time with photographers, directing and producing film projects and representing Aspen/Snowmass at home and throughout his travels. His experiences extend far past the boundaries of his home mountain, Aspen, to encompass the purest facet of the sport; climbing and skiing. TJ has climbed and skied throughout the mountains of Colorado, North and South America and he regards these experiences as paramount in his time on skis.

What’s up for Summer 2015?Whats up for summer 2015?
This winter, I plan to use the strong endurance base I built racing ultra trail events this summer to confidently ski bigger mountains that require longer approaches and offer the possibility of multiple-peak-line-link-ups.
