A mountain so small that you could literally drive right passed it and never know you did. It wasn’t anything special, but it was that moment when the switch went off in my head. I never thought skiing would become such a big part of my life. We basically stuck to the groomers and eventually saw those stupid little side jumps pop up on the trails. We thought we were awesome because we were able to hit jumps on skis....

I thought I knew what it was to be a skier. Andes Tower Hills, Kensington MN, is located way out here.. In the middle of nowhere. Relocating to Minnesota, I had very low expectations; what sort of backward skiing could the flatlands produce? I knew not to expect much from the ski hill. I knew the frigid temps would not harbor powder. I figured park would still be worth hitting, until I saw it....

A Self Portrait Name three facts the average NSer doesnt know about you. I love playing golf in the summer. My favorite cut of steak is a porterhouse, mmm. I have the best jobs on the planet. They work fantastic not only as a solo racer, but great with a buddy as well. Hands down the one I go for, 100% of the time....

So, give those on NS who don’t know you a little information about yourself. Im 20 years old and currently a sophomore at the University of Vermont, majoring in environmental science. I grew up just outside of Burlington, Vermont. Im the best skier on the mountain. What mountain do you consider your home mountain? The Freeskiing Team (FST) is one of the best things about UVM. The goal of the team is to help members become better skiers, which it definitely does....

I lucked out this season and had two opportunities to ski out west with our universitys ski club. Better snow, more terrain, and endless exploration adventures. My first trip began at the beginning of January as we set off for Aspen Snowmass. The 26 hour bus ride began with only one rule; dont throw up. Life in Snowmass Village was plentiful in beer, making each morning more difficult to take first chair....

The crazy antics and smooth skiing of his edits have brought Trevor web-wide recognition and Newschoolers fame. Why has he been so successful? But beneath the floodwater purifying, cat-loving, kid-counseling, keystone-shredding webmaster, who is Totally Trevor? Who are you? Now I go to school in Boulder and it’s pretty “chill”. Photo: Brent La Fleur 2. Why do people like you? Let me answer your question with another question....

We also had to pack his bag for him because all his gear was spread across the room. He then spent almost the entire car ride passed out in the front seat. It was pretty sweet to see so many of the skiers seen all over NS in one place.

Among these things Logan is a Newschooler. Joining the site in 2003 he has garnered a reputation for speaking his bold and honest opinions. You’ve been a member on the site for a long time, how did you discover NS? I heard about Newschoolers from Tim Durtschi in 2003. Do you remember what you had been banned for on either of those occasions? (Laughter) One was definitely for spamming tub girl and I don’t remember the other....

http://espn.go.com/action/photos/gallery/_/id/6203969/image/5/chris-logan-keeping-logans What’s some basic info that you’re free to give me to start off? Right now I got a spot in Breck, living with some of my buddies. Just moved over here in October. Switched it out with living in Mammoth Lakes for the past five years. When you started off skiing in the park at Mt. Snow, did you ever picture yourself where you are now? No, not at all....

A god amongst men indeed. So Sam, lets start out with the important stuff. (Laughs) Uh actually uncomfortably accurate. Otherwise he pretty much hit it out of the park. Either way, I think my initiation came in the form of those SIA shenanigans… I got the bill from Denver Health the other day. $325 coming your way, guys. Id have to say the NS gathering down at Loon. That was super fun....

Do you control the hair or does it control you? I’ve been growing it for a couple of years now. So my grandma is kinda in control. I’m from Schwanden, Switzerland and I turned 22 this year. Ive got to say it’s probably my favorite place on earth. How do you feel about that as a law? I got out of the army because of my ACL injury so, Im in the Civil Protection Service....

Where did you get the idea? Is it something you’ve been thinking about/planning for a long time? How many stops did you make along the way? We managed to split up the driving times by making lots of stops aka eating at Tim Hortons. In total we stopped in 16 cities and small towns. Do you prefer these short film key in of projects? That and Voleurz is gone and we had nothing better to do… why not go on an adventure....

This, added with the windchill, felt more like I was judging in an ice machine. Even the Helsinki press pleaded to the older folks not to venture outside. No matter how cold it was, there were nothing but smiles from ear to ear! I was immediately picked up the head organizer, Kosti Purninen. Then we were on our way a few hours north to the very small resort of Sappee....
