What's up Newschoolers! Figured while I'm MOTM I'd start a trend. While I dont ski as well as Sammy C, I will actually answer your questions. This thread will be for all future members of the month as well when they're member of the month.

Ask away, I love you all!

r00kieFavorite mountain?


hmm probably Hood, Jackson, or Bird.

I really like the vibe in hood but the terrain isn't my favorite compared to Jackson and snowbird. The two times I've been to Jackson I had great snow so that's a plus, and there is such great bc skiing there, too. Snowbird is just a super fun mountain, I hope to get out there again soon.

Now that you have 'Newschoolers MOTM' on your CV, which Ivy League school do you choose to attend, or which blue chip corporation will you lead?

I will create a whole new college, called Newschoolers School of Scholarly Skiing, and will provide the second greatest education in the general vicinity of the school.

Ptarmigan because I rode up a chairlift with one once. /claim

It flew up to the chair at a low spot and was too big a pussy to jump off later. He was making a lot of noise.

Hmm, I don't know if I can choose one! For freeride probably Sammy C or Tim Durtschi. I also really like Chris Bentchetler.

For park either Antti or AHall

I qualified for a Noram race, and I was going to go, but I tore my Achilles the day before. I did junior nationals and most other races though.
