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

He should be at Ski Sundown in New Hartford, CT on December 16th with the Tell A Friend Tour, if you need to meet him so bad, that'd probably be a good chance. He's a pretty fun guy.


This thread is kinda a pretty big claim-fest, but since I'm already posting in it...I've skied with Will, Andy, and Ian when I helped build a park for them (and Ian a couple times since), I've chilled with a bunch of the 4bi9 crew (at Cheddar's house and JWenz's house). Every pro I've met has been really down to earth and chill, they're just normal guys who are really good at skiing and like to have a good time. I think the only time I felt pro-shock was when I was skiing behind Wallisch at PC, but that was mostly because of how ridiculously good at skiing he is in person.

Biggest Names: Tom Wallisch, Will Wesson, and Torin. Coolest Guys: Garrett Russell, Parker White, Wiley Miller. Ian Compton was supposed to come to Woodward our week, but he never showed up, so he must be a dick. Garrett Russell gave me free poles, so he is my favorite. Tom was really cool as well.
