Racing conditions you like the most? Hard, fast and icy corn snow.
Racing conditions you dislike the most? Deep pow.
Reasons for which you like competition and racing? That feeling of pushing your body to its limits and speed, I like going fast.
In your life, when did you realize that mountain and ski will play an important role? Going to ski camps at the Lake Placid OTC run by Roger Weston and Mid-A. I met a lot of friends still in the ski community, had a great time and they helped make me the skier and racer I am today.
Memories about your first time on skis? One of my first racing memories was when I was 5 or 6 in the NY Bill Koch championships at Glens Falls. I remember standing water in the tracks and right before the finish line I put my pole basket (those big round ones) over my ski tip, couldn’t get it off and crawled over the line.
The thing you are most proud of in your skiing career? My podium at ’06 Nats.
How would you like to leave your mark on ski history? Worlds Fastest Hippie!
Favorite sport during the Summer? Mtn. Biking
The thing(s) you always take with you? Coffee and some way to make it.
The object you can’t do without? Shades (Rudy Project!)
Favorite song? I do like my reggae music.
Your last vacation? This fall going home to see my parents, bro, sis, and 3 nieces.
