As I’ve gotten older, I’ve migrated from the terrain park to the powder and groomers when skiing. Now I’m a self proclaimed ski teacher of my two children.

Rides: 22′ K2 Mindbenders

I always love a fresh trail or new ski gear but you’ll never pull Atomics out from under me. We can debate ski brands on lift rides for hours.

Rides: Atomic for life
