Current favorite piece of gear? Why?
K2 Pinnacle 98: Konic technology took weight out of the middle and tip making it ultra light and playful yet the metal laminate on the sides and tight radius makes it snappy on the groomers and bumps well. Just the right amount of turned up tail to mess around. Super fired up on this ski.
Head Super Shape Titans: Hero skis... even a mogul skier can look good carving on these. Nothing better than maxing out lateral g-forces in skiing, and this ski is made to push those boundaries.
Marmot Zion Jacket: It's polyester Polartec Neo Shell material that is stretchy but waterproof. Has a killer soft feel to it instead of feeling crispy. Perfect zipper location and looks good. Five stars during El Nino last year.
Fondest memory from learning to ski or ride?
Wish I could remember back that far. The photos are awesome. I do remember losing my sick Oakley blades I won when I was 10. Damn, I miss those still. I remember sleeping in the car a lot on long drives.
