Lucas Wachs:
Is 12 years old and was doing 7s at Northstar.
Lucas Tanaka:
is 19 years old and kills everything he touches. He can stick 180s into head-deep powder (literally) and switch cork 9s at the same time. His style is like a mix between Tj Schiller and Tanner Rainville. Hungry Sloth will release a teaser in a couple weeks showcasing his skiing.
Derek Levy:
is 16 and does crazy shit, like switch 9s. Last year at summer camp he did a double cork 7 off a BC-ish booter but didnt land it. smoooooooooooooooooooooooth style. Like Dumont but with a narrower stance.

Boyd Easly, but mostly because hit knee is fucked up and made for pig parts. I loved his style and how he goofed alot. And the lolerskating steeze in X.
Also Zack Davidson, Armada shouldn't have him as a regional am.

Yah for sure Billy Mann, he was in the same group at windells with me and he was slaying everything.
Oh, and Colin Sirois. And Curtis Bolduc. Two east coast skiers who throw down SO hard.
There's more I know I'm forgetting, but whatever.
