Whats so great about your mountain? They know when to use apostrophes in contractions. The slackcountry is awesome. And every once in a while, there’s some guy with a mullet wig at the pond skims.

Favorite photographer/filmer? Stills: Craig Moore, Noah Clayton, William Brussell. Motion: Shane Dowaliby, Ryan Ward

Favorite thing you enjoy doing on skis? Snorkeling through untouched, stable, PNW pow.

If you could spend a week skiing anywhere, where would it be? The Kamchatka, Chamonix, or whatever wilderness I was last ogling to the south of Stevens.

Why do you ski so much? Every pow face’s dream is to be graced with the bases of ON3Ps. I’m just out there doing my part to grant their wishes.
