Tom: I know you kind of explained why you decided to go with Line on one of your latest Instagram pictures but how easy was the decision in reality? How much pressure were you getting from other companies to sign to their team?
Derek the Dawg is the 3rd thing you list on our Line profile for what you love most. What kind of dog is he? How cool is he? Is he cooler than Mr.Bishop? Will we ever see Derek shredding pow like he shreds wakes with you in the summer?

The big question here: Traveling Circus? Are you going to be joining the gang this year on their shenanigans? Will there be a Style Coach 2.0? Can you handle Andy's BO due to lack of deodorant usage? Chicken wings or pizza?

Josh: Just want to say congrats again on signing Tom! It's going to be a fun winter and I think I speak for most to say that we are stoked to see Tom on Line!

What kind of opportunities will there be for Tom to ride with other Line teammates like some of the LTC crew, or some of the more pow oriented guys like Eric Pollard or Andrew Whiteford?

Tom, your profile on LINE claims that you are 27 years old,

However, it is common knowledge that you were only able to grow a beard only very recently.

How did you overcome this setback in your recent partnership with LINE?

We deserve answers

Can you speak to us about your transition from a mostly edit and film based athlete into a competition ninja?

Also, what will be the future balance between contests and filming?

Tom: What are you looking forward to doing the most with the Line team? Will you end up making any cameos in any future Line Traveling Circus episodes, or is this a myth that is circulating around Newschoolers?

Will & Andy: How big was the transition for you guys from skiing in Western New York to traveling across North America and other parts of the northern hemisphere?

Andy: What sparked the idea for the Tell A Friend Tour in the beginning?

Shane: Standard Definition or HD, which do you think is the best in your opinion?

Eric: Any big plans for Nimbus this year?

Josh and Dan: What kind of titanium balls do you guys have? Tom Wallisch seemed like a name that, with all due respect, would be claimed by a more elite, competition-minded brand. What do you think Line brought to the table that other companies couldn't?

TOM: If this was 2012 and you met your 2014 self, would you believe the 2014 Tom when it said you were sponsored by Line Skis in the future? Is there going to be a Tom Wallisch pro model in the near future?

POLLARD: Is there going to be an On Top of the Hood Pt. 2? I know you guys were up there early summer. It's one of my favorite movies to date.

Tom: I can't believe you're pro, I'm so much better than you.

But really, what was the best and worst part of being a part of scott, and what do you look forward to the most in your new signing with line?

Also, in a style based sport, how does your receding hairline affect you and when will you be announcing your hair restoration sponsor?

TOM: Do you think with the future spin ski under your feet, you will be able to throw down a 2340, or a 2700? If so, will this ski be granting you the ability to travel to the future?

TC Crew: You guys going to make it out to Tahoe at all this year? I am an aspiring cross country van driving/skier, you have any tips or tricks? Also try and make a trip north up to Montana, ski Big Sky and Moonlight Basin.

Garrett: With Tahoe being your new home, which mountain do you prefer? Boreal, Alpine Meadows, Squaw, or Northstar? (Assuming you ride North Lake mostly)

Pollard: Are there plans to bring back the Nimbus video format from the beginning? I love everything that you guys put out, but there's something about creating an all-encompassing piece that seems to have so much more heart than individual web features. I've watched Contrast, Hunting Yeti, and Idea so many times, I'd love to see a feature like that return.

Tom: There was recently a thread on NS that attributed certain tricks to certain skiers. If you could describe your style of skiing in one trick, what would it be?


Andy: Any new wizard tricks in the making right now?


Will: How many switch-ups do you think you could do on any given rail?


Eric: What are your favorite shredding spots in Japan?

You tighten all the buckles as much as you comfortably can. This is essential to being a good skier........
