And over that, I wear the Stio Gannett Peak Half Zip for extra active insulation.On the top, I start with the Stio Divide Tech Tee.I love bibs because I donвЂ™t feel restricted in my waist and because snow doesn't go down your pants. Then, performance shorts over my base layer - Stio PTV shorts work well.On the bottom, I start with Stio Men's Basis Power Wool.Stio: When it comes to ski gear, what products do you use to build out your kit?Дash: I almost always like to have the same dialed kit because your body becomes fully attuned.В Usually my kit consists of the following: That is the best way to not think about anything else and fully enjoy being on your skis. Your awareness expands and you are ultra hyper focused. Push yourself to ski something that is a little harder than you normally would because when you push yourself outside of your comfort zone your senses and the lizard brain has to take over. You have to be able to fully connect and just be in that moment. If youвЂ™re worried about work, have anxious thoughts about the future, or whatever other life shit youвЂ™re dealing with then it will be hard for you to connect. Stio: What advice do you have for someone that's looking to become a better skier?Дash: Just have to have fun. IвЂ™ve always thought the whole tradition was pretty cool and my drive in life has been about being a part of something cool and doing something cool and I want to share that with people because I love it.

From the clothes I wear to the skis I put on my feet to the way I go about the motion of putting on skis, walking up to the lift and skiing. Also, I have always had an appreciation for style and skiing is a way for me to express myself. Outside of the act of skiing, I like the process of just getting up to the hill, the warmth of the lodge in contrast to the cold, being bundled up in the mountains, basically everything involved in the ritual of skiing. But now I know itвЂ™s that heightened sense of feeling that is the ultimate presence and thatвЂ™s what IвЂ™ve truly come to appreciate when IвЂ™m on my skis. For a while, I didnвЂ™t understand that sense of presence. Feel the adrenaline and endorphins release. When IвЂ™m on my skis and guru focused, people call it the flow, I could close my eyes and just feel the tips of my skis moving through the landscape in front of me. Not thinking about other struggles in life or problems I've been dealing with. IвЂ™m a dreamer, so IвЂ™m always thinking about what I could be doing or should have done better, but for those split seconds when IвЂ™m skiing IвЂ™m not thinking about anything else. First, the thing IвЂ™ve come to realize, that I didnвЂ™t fully recognize before, is that skiing allows me to become present. Stio: What is it about skiing that you love so much?Дash: Good questionвЂ¦ I guess itвЂ™s a two part thing for me. It felt like everything was working against us, but somehow we managed to pull it all together and make it happen. Then when we were filming at Alta shortly after that I collided with Zac, the main filmer of the project, and he broke a couple of ribs and couldnвЂ™t really ski for the next month after that. I was sweating it really hard, but after a month got back to a place where I could finally put my boots back on. During a different shoot in Jackson Hole I got frost bite on my feet so bad that I couldnвЂ™t ski for a month. Stio: What was the most memorable event from filming Stone's Throw?Дash: The whole thing was kind of a roller coaster ride. ItвЂ™s a film about a guy who has to work even though all he wants to do is ski, and Salt Lake City makes that dream possible.

I wanted to do something crazy and had recently started my own slope side real estate business so it felt natural to put the time into a project that would highlight the proximity of Salt Lake to the mountains and my new professional career to my career as a pro skier. My new ski sponsor, DPS Skis, offered me the opportunity to create a DPS Cinematic Episode. After years of shooting with TGR and then doing a Warren Miller film, the timing finally aligned for me to dive into my own project. Ever since I was a kid IвЂ™ve wanted to make my own ski movie. Salt Lake City is just a вЂStoneвЂ™s Throw' from the amazing mountains of the Wasatch. Stio: Explain the idea behind Stone's Throw and how the idea came to life.Дash: The idea behind the film starts with the name - StoneвЂ™s Throw. We caught up with Dash to talk to him about the new film and ask him about his take on how he lives the mountain life in Salt Lake City, Utah. During the winter of 2018/2019 Dash helped bring his dream project to life in the creation of his new film, StoneвЂ™s Throw.
