bored in class, just wondering who the coolest big name pro you've met, or how uncool. Doesn't even have to be skiing.

Met and Ski'd with Sarah Burke when I went to Momentum for a couple years. She was mad one of the most awesome people. Managed to do a few laps with her when I saw her at the last Mount Snow Dew Tour too.

I've met Bobby Brown before at Hood. Asked him how the jump was, since it was my first time hitting the pro jump, he didn't say anything and just stood there. Asshole. Vila, Jordan, Wesson, Hornbeck, Dadali, and Perron are all sick though!!

Except norwegians, Tanner Hall, i didn't say mush, but he said my girlfriend smelled good, haha.
John Spriggs, i talked and took a beer with him at Freeze last year..
I did park laps with Kaj Zackrisson, he was not that mush of a park skier, but he was pretty awesome to talk to!
