The last few Instagram shows that he was celebrating Christmas with the family and posting these lines with pictures of his family members “Merry Christmas from the Blocks, from Baldface Lodge! Here’s a photo dump of some of my fav shots. From the amazing snow, to the incredible hospitality of Jeff Pensiero and his family, to watching Jamie Lynn scale the rafters to install the star on the tree, to watching my kids get better and better at shredding… it was an epic holiday trip. Hope you all had a great holiday! #shredholiday #BaldfaceLodge”.
