WHAT IS YOUR BEST SKIING STORY?
When I was 15 I had a downhill race at Panorama resort in BC. We had been training all week and then one night it snowed 50 cm over night. They opened the lifts early for the racers so we could hike up and slip the course to get all the snow off the ice so we could train for the day. After hearing this my mate and I skipped out, used the early lift access to nail in about 5 runs before public and then spent the rest of the day skiing pow in the chutes.
After our coach and the race officials found out about this we weren't allowed to train….. it was about that time I decided to quit the racing world and go ski pow.
LIST 5 ITEMS YOU THINK SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE WORLD:
1. Flat light… flat light is lame
2.intense people on the ski hill…. People need to relax and have fun
3. global warming
4. cards… I hate card games
5. Punters who sideslip lines on pow days
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM OF FOOD?
Probably sushi… or Lamb…. I think I just like food.
WHAT WOULD YOU BE IF YOU WERE NOT A SKIER OR BOARDER?
I would probably mountain bike a lot and be in school to the delight of my parents.
TO ME, BASE IS:
Nothing like any other ski shop I have ever seen…. I owe so much to you guys and I can't thank you enough.
WHAT WOULD YOUR BEST DAY ON SNOW BE?
My best mates together for one day, epic conditions, a heli plus beers and a hot tub waiting for us at the end.
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT?
I think it is probable to pull this whole last year off and have everything go as smoothly as it has. I am happier then I have ever been and things are only getting better.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ONLINE PROFILES?
not as of yet.
Shout outs:
First and foremost is my parents, thanks for letting me follow my dream… also to the boys at BASE, as I said before you have helped me out more then I can ever thank you for… plus Hamish at Rossi and both Luke and Darryl for helping me through the winding trails of the industry.
