Well I love to ski where ever the snow falls, but I’d have to say I will always love going back home to Highlands Bowl. Standing on top surrounded by the most beautiful valley, with all my buddies…there’s nothing like it.

20 Questions
Describe your favorite day on snow?
Man this is a tough one. I just don’t think I have one better day than another, it isn’t possible… Too many good days with face shots to choose from. Any day when you can huck and not feel a thing is an amazing day.

Who inspires you?
Chris Davenport is an amazing person all around. He goes out and gets after whatever he is trying to do. Chris is strong and passionate and to me anyone who loves what they do and they always have a smile on their face, that’s inspiring. And that is just the way I see him. With all of this, Chris puts his effort into spreading his love and his passion for skiing and the mountains through to others.

Favorite piece of equipment and why?
My BD Mercury Mitts are the best! Nothing compares to having warm comfy fingers on top of a mountain. They are perfect… most gloves that warm are too big and get in the way. Also my Fritschi Freerides. I couldn’t do without. They are light, strong and simple.

Training techniques for skiing?
Well riding my mountain bike and flowing with yoga, and skiing as much as I possibly can. This upcoming fall my goal is to train and become stronger to help protect myself from getting hurt.

Goals you have for the future?
As for this winter coming up, myself and a few other BD skiers are planning on competing in the US Free Skiing Tour. Then from the last comp driving in a van through British Columba up to Alaska.

As for in the future, my goal is to strive higher and higher and progress in the sport of freeskiing, while competing and traveling from place to place. While doing so, I will maintain healthy lifestyle and keeping a good relationship with sponsors.

Describe the perfect ski trip?
The perfect ski trip…well there’s got to be lots of pow and big peaks!
