E: When did you first begin skiing?
How long did it take you to get into the park?
Think I did my first 360 at 5.
E: What’s your favorite part about training in Minnesota?
C: Rope Tows!
I can get so many reps in the park.
E: Least favorite part?
C: The season is way too short and our jumps are usually smaller than out west.
Nick and Banks are both awesome skiers, and I’m stoked to be friends with them.
Just being around them makes me try things I normally wouldn’t on my own.
E: Who has been your greatest inspiration?
C: I’d have to say Nick Goepper in terms of skiing.
He’s a great friend and mentor.
E: What’s been your most memorable accomplishment so far in your skiing?
C: Thats a tough one.
There have been so many.
Maybe making it to USSA Jr Nationals at the age of 10, and throwing my first Cork 10.
E: What are your goals in skiing?
Where would you like to see yourself 5 years from now?
E: Where’s your dream place to ski?
C: I’ve been pretty fortunate to have skied in CO, UT, and OR.
All those places are awesome.
I’d really love to ski New Zealand or Australia at some point.
E: What’s your favorite pastime during the offseason?
C: I keep pretty busy in the offseason.
I play competitive soccer, waterski, and trampoline.
Oh, and I just took up scuba diving.
I’m totally hooked on it.
E: What would you say to other young skiers trying to get their name out there?
And don’t feel that you have to live and breathe skiing year round.
I wouldn’t be where I am right now without all their help and continued support!
