Meteorologist McHeffey Catches Air

Going back over a decade to 2003, Justin McHeffey competes in upright aerial jumps at the Rocky Mountain Freestyle Divisional Competition with this 360 mute grab in Steamboat Springs.

It was a division of freestyle skiing that included moguls, dual moguls, inverted and upright aerials. Though he did not ribbon in this event, he placed 10th out of 80 men in a mogul competition the day before.

As a matter of fact, he was skiing in Steamboat last week, and will certainly be on the slopes this weekend.

He still loves moguls and cliff drops, but is more cautious now about tricks than he was in this picture.

And in case you're wondering, his love of snow did translate to becoming a meteorologist! Justin said growing up skiing moguls and that irresistible fresh powder contributed to his passion for weather forecasting.
