WHAT IS YOUR BEST SKIING STORY?
When I was in Meribel winter 04/05 I and 2 other really good buddies skied from Meribel to Val D’Isere in one day. It is a huge trip and consisted of skiing what could be 5 or so resorts in one day, any one who knows the range will know what I mean. Was a sick day and really good fun, if you can get some one to pick you up at the end of the day well worth doing it.

LIST 5 ITEMS YOU THINK SHOULD BE BAND FROM THEWORLD:
1.    Really small dogs, the ones that don’t really bark
2.    Pillows on couches, why don’t they just make couches comfortable.
3.    Wind, it is way to over rated
4.    People learning to play the guitar, they think there good but it’s the worst sound ever.
5.    Making people wear seat belts on a plane, if it crashes you’re not going to survive whether you have it on or not.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM OF FOOD?

My good buddy Darryl and I recon that Broccoli is the coolest food ever. This makes it true.

WHAT WOULD YOU BE IF YOU WERE NOT A SKIER OR BOARDER?
Be in one piece for more that 6 months and run a lower risk of having real bad arthritis at a later date.

TO ME, BASE IS:
Not your average ski shop. A place I owe a lot to and big thanks guys.

WHAT WOULD YOUR BEST DAY ON SNOW BE?

Any one who managed to go heli skiing with us to Lake Takapu will know the answer to this question. 10 sick riders, some of the best skiing in my life. 11 drops in 1 day and was sick! Managed to ski a nuts chute that had not been skied before. That was the best day on snow.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVMENT?
At this moment in time it is the fact that I am able to get on a bike machine just 2 weeks after having ACL reconstruction on my knee. Getting better is very important and this is a good start.
