Why are you psyched to be a part of FSx?
I am really excited to be apart of FSx. I think that we have the beginings of a very good thing. The team is a really good group of guys. We have a good mix of younger and older blood. Fischer and Swix are the best companies in the ski industry and I am very happy to be joined with them. Good things should come out of this new program.
Why do you ski race?
I like the pain. Yesterday I went for a 6hour hike/run in the Alaska mountains. I came home beat up and bloody. Yet it was tons of fun. I get to do what I love. I love the social side of skiing. The people are great.
