Marry me?

Ok in all seriousness, who do you look to for inspiration in the ski community? Do you look towards men and their progression or your fellow women skiers?

1. How are you such a babe?

2. How did you like the representation of freestyle skiing in vice's Free

3. What's it like trying to progress in a sport where men have already progressed so far?

1. What do you think about the progression of womens freeskiing

2. What do you have to say to people who hate on girls for not progressing?

I want to play a game of slvsh against you in the pipe, I feel like it would be a tight game!

u down?

Whats your favorite trick and what other hobbies do you do besides skiing??

What do you go to for motivation on days you feel off, or just feel crappy?

Where do you want to take your skiing in regards to grabs, amplitude and/or technical tricks?

I saw some footage of you trying rodeo 5s into a pipe bag a couple summers ago in Mammoth...

Are you still trying to get this or any other inverts into your mix?

You should try to land a bowman bow-and-arrow rodeo if you haven't already, that would be legendary. Also you and Vinni should def throw down in the pipe it would be real tight

have you ever considered learning nose butter triples?

Is this real life?

When are you going to start grabbing?

I've stayed at your house before /claim.

Also, how has your family influenced your skiing? You have one of the raddest moms around and Alec is pretty alright sometimes. (I ski with him at UNR)

will_powderWhen are you going to start grabbing?

Sorry I realize that sounded pretty haterish.

Are you interested in doing any pipe filming? How do you think pipe could be spiced up for a cool film segment (I'm thinking cubed pipe here)?

Do you get tired of the word 'amplitude' ?(announcers and judges use it so much it's annoying)

If you could be a Pokemon master or a Jedi knight which would you chose?

What is your favorite pipe to ride and why?

Teleportation or time travel?

What's your number?

Can I take you out for some seafood but actually call you back?

How did the Olympics change your life?

Why haven't you been a member of NS for longer?!

I have friends and family that go to Westminster. Do you love the school?

Looks like the ACL monster got Maddie too at last comp in Utah.

I know it seems to be that way every year, but just as soon as one girl gets back there are another 2 out.

Maddie, hi, hello, hey, sup, whoa.

So you've been recently associated with the ruthless gang known as "Trout Sqaud" Responsible for murdering the grand prix and your girl. How do your family and friends react to the fact that you're a part of one of the dirtiest group of killers in the game?

Trout Squad fucked my bitch.

What is the worst part about being friends with Ian Burson?

Do you feel that Tahoe's recently awful winters hurt your ability to compete at your peak? How have you worked around the shitty winters?

Have you ever been told that you look just like Maureen Ponderosa from Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

NewEscuelersMarry me?

Ok in all seriousness, who do you look to for inspiration in the ski community? Do you look towards men and their progression or your fellow women skiers?

I look to both men a women when I'm looking for inspiration. In the half pipe for example I look at Brita Sigourney, Joffrey, and Wing Tai when I want to go bigger. And as far as style goes I look to Torin and Ayana. Everyone brings something different to the table in skiing and its' great when you can get inspired by others strengths.

kim_jong_ill1. How are you such a babe?

2. How did you like the representation of freestyle skiing in vice's Free

3. What's it like trying to progress in a sport where men have already progressed so far?

1. haha thank you.

2. I think that The North Face had great intentions when it came to educating the non skiing population on what freeskiing is about. Vice did a good job too; however i felt like they built up sides. While in some ways people take sides on the topic of freeskiings place in the olympics. I don't see sides in freeskiing . We as skiers all have our own ways of expressing ourselves in skiing and showing the world in different ways, wether it is an urban edit or the olympics. And I appreciate all types of free skiing. I wish they would have focused on the fun and appreciation for others we have and less on the drama.

3. It is not easy to progress in a sport where the men have already gone so far. We get a lot of hate for it. I just want people to understand that we are not just kicking back. Women skiers work their asses off and we are progressing.

mseward1. What do you think about the progression of womens freeskiing

2. What do you have to say to people who hate on girls for not progressing?

1 I think the progression of women's skiing is moving. The girls that I compete with have all learned a new trick this year and I feel the level rising at each competition.

2. I think I would say to people who hate on women's skiing that. We are out there doing what we love just like they are and hating on us super hard isn't going to help anyone.

VinniCashI want to play a game of slvsh against you in the pipe, I feel like it would be a tight game!

u down?

That sounds like so much fun, but can I get a rain check? I just had surgery on my torn ACL

c_vertreesWhats your favorite trick and what other hobbies do you do besides skiing??

My favorite trick is an air to fakie safety grab. And I really enjoy mountain biking, playing soccer, and just being around a lake in the summer.

Babyback_jibsWhat do you go to for motivation on days you feel off, or just feel crappy?

I just remember how lucky I am to be outside and having the chance to do what I love. I also just leave something I'm struggling with for another day and go do something that makes me smile.

snomasterWhere do you want to take your skiing in regards to grabs, amplitude and/or technical tricks?

I saw some footage of you trying rodeo 5s into a pipe bag a couple summers ago in Mammoth...

Are you still trying to get this or any other inverts into your mix?

I would like to improve on everything. I really want to get my grabs and amplitude clem for now but I'm excited to learn some new tricks in the future.

Ya the aliop flat 5 is something I really want to do not just in the bag. I had a bit of a mental block with those but I do want to learn them in the pipe and other tricks as well.

LamieJYou should try to land a bowman bow-and-arrow rodeo if you haven't already, that would be legendary. Also you and Vinni should def throw down in the pipe it would be real tight

haha I've never thought about that. Great idea!

PaulBystricanhave you ever considered learning nose butter triples?

That would be crazy. I've never considered it but it is fun to imagine.

Aidin954Is this real life?

yessss

RimJobberI've stayed at your house before /claim.

Also, how has your family influenced your skiing? You have one of the raddest moms around and Alec is pretty alright sometimes. (I ski with him at UNR)

haha awesome! My family got me into skiing. And skiing with my little brother is awesome. He is sure to remind me that I'm not that cool but occasionally he lets me have my moments of glory.

will_powderSorry I realize that sounded pretty haterish.

Are you interested in doing any pipe filming? How do you think pipe could be spiced up for a cool film segment (I'm thinking cubed pipe here)?

Yes I am. My friends and I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I think the cube pipe is an awesome way to spice things up. I also really like Danny Davis' Peace pipe that he films at the end of each season. I think that it's cool incorporating rails and jumps into the pipe because we are all not just pipe jocks haha. And lastly I liked the T Hall invitational at Sierra at Tahoe in 2013 that was cool seeing pipe tricks over the lip of a hip.

kemosabeDo you get tired of the word 'amplitude' ?(announcers and judges use it so much it's annoying)

If you could be a Pokemon master or a Jedi knight which would you chose?

What is your favorite pipe to ride and why?

Teleportation or time travel?

What's your number?

haha Yes I do get tired of that word. It just sounds so technical. I like "air" better. "wow he got a ton of air, it was massive"

Pokemon Master, because my little brother would think I'm cooler. Plus I attempted collecting in elementary school.

Teleportation

my favorite number is 42

did you learn all of you're tricks and stuff on you're own or with a coach before u went pro ?

maddie_bowmanyessss

I thought this was just a fanta sea.

steezyjibberHow did the Olympics change your life?

Why haven't you been a member of NS for longer?!

I have friends and family that go to Westminster. Do you love the school?

The Olympics was intense. It was an experience that I will never forget. It was an emotional roller coaster. It gave me several different opportunities. I got to speak and a lot of school about my experience and meet a lot of young skiers and It also really made me appreciate how badass skiing and snowboarding is and how we didn't change for the olympics we just made it better.

I just used my brothers or my boyfriends but I like having my own now.

I do love Westminster. It is so close to so many outdoor activities all year around and living in the dorms was great!

Breaking_RadLooks like the ACL monster got Maddie too at last comp in Utah.

I know it seems to be that way every year, but just as soon as one girl gets back there are another 2 out.

I know. It really takes a toll on the amount of women skiers thats why we need more girls to start skiing park and pipe!!

My friends and family are the trout squad #rainbowtrout

ASAP_MtnsWhat is the worst part about being friends with Ian Burson?

Do you feel that Tahoe's recently awful winters hurt your ability to compete at your peak? How have you worked around the shitty winters?

haha I can't think of one thing.

I did have to travel a lot to get to the snow. If anything it makes me super sad and just makes me want to do everything I can to help stop and shed light on climate change.

rockySMDrossHave you ever been told that you look just like Maureen Ponderosa from Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

No! I think you are the first!!

The referenced post has been removed.

I wish I could I tore my acl unfortunately, so go have some fun for me!

brett_fisherdid you learn all of you're tricks and stuff on you're own or with a coach before u went pro ?

A little Bit of both. I learned tricks growing up from my coaches at Sierra at Tahoe but I also learned a lot from my friends!

Thanks everyone for the questions! I had a lot of fun! Sorry the responses were so spread out or if something was spelled wrong. I have been on pain meds after my surgery lol

What is this new "Trout Squad" you are in?

WilliamJMWhat is this new "Trout Squad" you are in?

The baddest killas on the hills and in the streets

Have you ever done a zero spin in the pipe? Is it possible? If so can you do one?

maddie_bowmanThanks everyone for the questions! I had a lot of fun! Sorry the responses were so spread out or if something was spelled wrong. I have been on pain meds after my surgery lol

Thanks so much for coming by Maddie! It was a pleasure to have you over here and hopefully we can get you back sometime. :)
