I don’t ski pow.
Haha kidding, but probably the same.
Interacting with the people next to me, be it friends or strangers, or Instagram.
Gotta stay hip, of course.
You mentioned the Yoke Spring Break Kill All Possums Tour last time we chatted.
What should I know about this aside from the obvious marsupial murder it involves?
It’s mostly a hunting trip, really, skiing is secondary.
Aside from the tour, what have you been doing skiing-wise this season?
Nice, I really enjoyed that edit.
The line with the disaster on the C-down rail was sublime.
I think mountain biking might help me out when I’m looking at gaps and lines through trees.
But neither are the first thing on my mind when I’m skiing.
I make a run at just let ideas come to me naturally.

Lines are definitely one of the things I like seeing most in skiing.
The people whose skiing I really like are mostly people I know and ski with.
That makes sense, especially when you’re skiing every day.
I know you used to ski race, a trait many freeskiers share.
How and why did you make the transition?
Did you just up and quit racing completely?
Wow, that’s rapid.
It was a long time coming though.
I know the feeling.
Hopefully I’ll be able to make it out to Mount Hood in June or July.
Any post-high school plans set yet?
Anything else from there will probably just fall in wherever it fits.
You used to be a part of YMR, any chance of a reunion sometime soon?
There will almost definitely not be a YMR reunion.
Care to elaborate on the reasons for this reorganization?
What is skiing all about for you, ultimately.
As you move forward with the sport, what would you describe as your largest aspiration or goal?
I want to do a backflip one day!
That said, I want to grow as a skier and do as much as I can with it.
And maybe someday I’ll toss that backflip.
Any final words, shout-outs, advice, requests, pictures of animals, etc.?
Huge thanks to Mom and Dad, Yoke Collection, and Dan Villaire and everyone at Line Skis.
