I grew up in Libby, MT snowboarding at Turner Mountain Ski Area. Turner Mountain is a not for profit, all volunteer managed and operated ski hill. In the 90’s I was part of the volunteer ski patrol. Some of my favorite moments snowboarding have happened at this magical place.  I wanted to plan an event to support Turner Mountain with fundraising, promote tourism for the community of Libby and to host a one of a kind Montucky Carving experience.

The Alpine Carving Snowboarder group had historically met in Aspen for a week of riding, demoing boards and social events. The business that was organizing this event went bankrupt, thus no more carving event. In the spring of 2018, I met with the Turner Mountain Board of Directors to discuss a fundraiser for the ski area. My idea was to use the entire ski area for 4 days for this group of Alpine Carvers. February of 2019 we hosted the first Montucky Clear CUT! 

Our goals are to support Turner Mountain with fundraising, support the community of Libby with additional visitors, promote the sport of Alpine Carving and to make this event sustainable for an annual occurrence.

My wife Kristin has also been a huge support with this event.  She has been at my side helping with planning, my sanity and implementing all that is going on.  

I really look forward to sharing Turner and Libby with all of you!  Thank you all again for your support and contributions.
