I was up at White Pass, WA today with my son and we ran into Andy Mahre. My son has a signed poster from him that he got when Andy was signing at our local showing of Warren Miller's movie a couple years back. I pointed out that Andy was there and asked my son if he would like to meet him. I don't know Andy, but I approached him and asked if he wouldn't mind introducing himself to my son and he more than gladly obliged. In fact we spent 15 minutes or so chatting about his career and he hooked us up with a couple autographed posters.

I'll pass along the website he told me about for his upcoming movie: www.filmtheidea.com

What the fuck is all this? Andy rules, period. He's an essential part of the Idea triumvir ant, and has led the switch powder skiing revolution, along with Pep and Pollard.

The cool thing is he's down to earth. He went out of his way, (about to sit down and hang out with his buddies) to accommodate my request. He didn't just shrug it off. By doing that I am sure he has inspired my kid and will inspire others.

Here's a little perspective on my thoughts about the New School movement:

^i just went into your profile and read all that. that's so sick that you rip with your kids. keep them watching ski movies and watching skiers so they know that it's cooler than snowboarding and then you're kids will stick to it. probably the biggest reason people don't ski is cuz they think it's dumb and lame looking but as long as your kids see the movies and watch people they'll stay stoaked on it.
