Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">From browsing his Instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/legoskierbro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"@LegoSkierBro (opens in a new tab)\">@LegoSkierBro<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to see he lives a big life despite his small size \u2014 he stands at just over 1.5 inches tall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">He skins up Aspen Mountain to watch the New Year\u2019s Eve fireworks like a true local, dresses up as a hot dog to take part in closing day festivities and charges through chest-deep powder, finding fresh lines on every mountain he visits. This winter he\u2019s posted from the Powder Awards and tallied likes for straight-lining Ozone in Highland Bowl, chopping down his own Christmas tree and shredding with #LegoSanta at the North Pole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">And, like any good skier bro, he has a crew (of Legos). There\u2019s #legoskierbabe, #legobrad, #legosnowboardbro, a robot #legoskierbot and a trusty #legodog (he describes them as his \u201cRide or Die!\u201d). The crew goes on adventures and LegoSkierBro posts about them on Instagram for the enjoyment of his nearly 28,000 followers (one of whom recently got a LegoSkierBro tattoo).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">\u201cI don\u2019t think time or age has anything to do with what I am trying to put out there,\u201d LegoSkierBro said. \u201cEverybody loves Legos and everybody loves skiing. I can\u2019t think of any other things that are more ageless or timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\">We caught up with LegoSkierBro to get to know the local Lego legend better, find out how he gets the shot, his plans to \u201csend bigger\u201d and what his perfect day on the mountain consists of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>Aspen Times Weekly:<\/strong> How long have you been skiing?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LegoSkierBro:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been skiing since the day I was first thought up, but I remember hating it at the beginning. It felt uncomfortable but I\u2019m glad I stuck with it. Now, it seems like the only thing in my life that makes sense, and the only place where I am truly comfortable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> What inspired you to start an Instagram account?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> Three years ago I decided to sign up for Instagram and make every day about getting the shot. It has changed my life. Sometimes I feel like I only exist on Instagram, where if you don\u2019t get the shot \u2014 it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> How do you \u201cget the shot?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> It is usually cold, and the photographer is crying because their fingers are numb, but they don\u2019t want to take the shot yet because we are waiting for the right light, and I\u2019m all like, \u201cJust take the photo. We will make the lighting look badass with a sweet filter.\u201d I always get the shot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>ATW:<\/strong> What do you love about the Aspen area?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> Aspen-Snowmass in the winter is the best place on Earth. There is snow everywhere and most days are sunny with clouds in the distance. What else could you want?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATW:<\/strong> What is your favorite line to shred in Aspen-Snowmass?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> I can shred anything, anywhere, anytime, but most of the time I\u2019m skiing double black diamonds on the Crown Jewel. My favorite place to be is right in front of skiers who think they are better than me. I\u2019ve never cared about being better than anyone (or everyone for that matter) when it comes to my skiing, but I am constantly surrounded by exceptional skiers who end up making me look even better. I\u2019m not going to give away my favorite stashes; you could torture me and I would never tell \u2014 I don\u2019t want them to get tracked out!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> You share a lot of good tips on #ProTipTuesday, but what\u2019s the best tip you\u2019ve got to share?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> I\u2019ve given a lot of advice over the years, but the main thing I would like to impart is that you should be yourself and do something original \u2014 because that\u2019s what everyone really wants to see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> Any big plans for this winter season?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> I usually like to take the season as it comes, because just a little snow is bottomless to me. But, this year I would like to send bigger and film more. My fans would love to see an edit on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> Describe your perfect day on the mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> The perfect day begins early in the morning, the sun hasn\u2019t come up yet but my crew and I are waiting at the front of the gondola line. We head up the mountain, covered in a fresh layer of snow, and at the top we rest while taking in the view. We ski together all day and catch the last gondola because we can\u2019t get enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> From your Instagram captions, you seem to love hashtags What\u2019s your favorite?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> #skiingisbelieving because skiing is believing. What could be more self-explanatory? When you are trying to make a name for yourself: it is all about the hashtags. If I could, I would put hastags on hashtags.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> What\u2019s your favorite non-ski activity? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> Compared to skiing, everything else is second best. I try to post other things but my followers like skiing and only skiing, so I try to stick to what they like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATW: <\/strong>What are your goals for the @legoskierbro account?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> I just want to be recognized for my left turn in powder, just like all of my favorite skiers. I\u2019d like to grow my clothing line on legoskierbro.com but, more importantly, I\u2019d like to DJ a pool party in Las Vegas. Right now, I\u2019m just here for the ride. I travel light and I can hop on any trip so hit me up if you are chasing winter storms. I plan to see the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> What\u2019s the coolest part of your job? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> Everything you see on the internet is real and what you see on Instagram is my life. I don\u2019t try to sugar coat anything; I even post my crashes. People say that, \u201csocial media is all smoke and mirrors,\u201d but I am going for something that is tangible and above all \u2014 true to life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> Who makes a better ski\/adventure companion? #legobrad, #legodog, #legoskierbot, #legosnowboardbro or #legoskierbabe?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> My whole crew helps me survive and I need them to tell my story. #legoskierbabe has to be my number one, but #legodog and #legobrad are both a close second. #legoskierbot was fun to have around but he didn\u2019t come around too much last year after his malfunction. #legosnowboardbro is perfect when you want to wait for him to buckle his back binding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>ATW:<\/strong> Describe your crew in three words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>LSB:<\/strong> Ride or Die!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/aspen-instragram-fave-legoskierbro-tells-all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Photo Courtesy @LegoSkierBro Show CaptionsHide Captions From browsing his Instagram, @LegoSkierBro, it\u2019s easy to see he lives a big life despite his small size \u2014 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2453056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-18 21:47:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSPN The Valley&#039;s Quality Rock","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2453056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2453056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2453056\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2453056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2453056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kspn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2453056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
