Favorite Tecnica Boot and why:
Race Pro. This boot is lower in volume so it literally fits like a glove. It's the perfect stiffness and you can really work the boot.
Not including anything you are in, the best ski movie ever is:
1999, Scott Gaffney's flick and I really enjoy old school TGR flicks. It's when AK was first discovered and those guys are charging out there in "no mans land".
Drink of choice?
Go Fast Energy Drink. It's made with Australian honey instead of corn syrup.
Who was the first pro skier you had either met in person or saw from a distance that made you star struck?
For sure Scott Schmidt. When I first moved to Squaw I worked on race services. We were putting up gates one day so I had no ski poles. A good friend Darian Boyle was skiing with him and told me to come along for a run. I was FREAKING out and could not pass up the opportunity so I skied a run on K2TT (I was new to the West) with no poles in crap snow and Scott Schmidt probably laughing the entire time at me.
Cloudy powder day or sunny park day?
That should be a no brainer....even for the jibbers.
Who taught you how to ski?
My Grandpa and mom.
Coolest foreign country:
I really love traveling in Europe. Seeing amazing little villages on the side of mountains is something I will never get sick of.
Beside yourself, the coolest member of the Tecnica Völkl Team is:
My buddies, Jenn and Ingrid. I also love Chris Collins.
