Interview by Dylan Anderson What motivates you to do the crazy urban shit that you do? Is it the excitement or the sheer enjoyment of getting shot or neither?

Since the first time I saw this line it was on my bucket list and today was the day....

Headed up Kirkup on Christmas Eve with my friends Wiggly, Kyle, and my dog Tokes. It was his first tour ever and stoke level was high. Now with six people and three dogs on the skin trail it was an entertaining climb for sure. Tokes getting her pow on....
Everyone was having a ball! Beyond their presence, they hope to make a lasting impact on the East and Midwest ski scenes. “That’s going to be wild” he laughed.
