This season Chris has continued working with Warren Miller Entertainment as an athlete and spokesperson for the legendary film company. He was also invited to spend time outside Beijing, China at the resort of Jundushan as guest in which he provided guidance to the resort’s proprietor as it grows in a booming economy. The trade helped further establish relationships between Colorado’s Ski industry and China’s ski industry.

Presently, Chris continues to conquer new terrain in the backcountry while becoming more familiar with the old.
