20 Questions
Describe your skiing background?
Born and raised in Alberta. Fell in love with the mountains. Skiied on freestyle ski teams throughout Jr High and Hight School. Beat ourselves up on the weekends, sending it into moguels for many years. Travel to comps, that's was what we did. Once I turned 18 moved to Whistler, lived in a van down by the river, skiied the summers away. Began to progress into freeriding and was introduced to my first freeskiing contest. I guess you could say its been all down hill from there. Beeing on the World Tour has been great for me, to push myself mentally and pysically to become the best I can be. We will see were all these great days will take me. Hope somewhere's steep 'n deep!

Was there a big breakthrough or defining moment for you?
The first day strapping on skiies. 2nd, Finnishing High School early and running to the hills.

What do you do when you're not skiing?
Love being out side, rideing the bike, golfing, fishing, hiking, swiming, dream of heli skiing........ goes on, veriety is the spice of life.

Any training advice or suggestions?
Strenght is key, the stronger you are the faster and bigger you can go! Cross training is what I like, biking, hiking and hockey work for me. Hit the gym and then send it!

Who or what inspires you?
Powder filled mountains and endless opportunities to be had, is what keeps me going. I was inspired at a young age wathching a Warren Miller film, seeing people getting out of a heli and shreding the knar. Ever since then I knew that was what I wanted to do! Live that dream!

Anything that really irks you in the mountains, backcountry, ski hill?
Power of the mountains, it's humbling. You never know. But definitely snow snakes!

What's playing in your stereo / ipod / head right now?
Tend to shuffle it up, and it's.........The Smalls!!!

What book are you reading right now or read that you liked?
I started the Lance Armstrong "Its Not About The Bike". It's amazing what he has acomplished and gone through in his life. To be on top of the world one day, to fighting for his life the next. It shows what determination will get you. Should get through it next trip.

Seinfeld or Simpsons?
Who am I to judge?

What are your future plans or goals in skiing?
Continue to ski and see new places. Experience the world. Have fun with it. Continue to work with photographers If the opportunity arizes get into filming and document all these great days while i'm young. Learn more and develope my mountainering skills, to play safe and become a old skiier. A good skiier is an old skiier! Right?

Favorite place to ski and why?
For resort skiing would have to say here in Whistler. Plenty of terrain, lots of snow, great town n people and its Canada baby! So much unexplored mountains in the area it's endless. Chamonix would have to be up there for the knar factor, must go back! Other than that, any mountain with lots of snow wins. That's what its all about, getting your daily face shots!

Favorite people to ski with and why?
Whom ever is there sharing the experience.
