My passion for the mountains started at an early age as this was the play ground for which I grew up. Racing allowed me to develop and hone the proper technique that allows me to truly  enjoy the expansive and varying terrain, and snow conditions this wonderfully beautiful area has to offer. Having spent my whole life in and around the mountains of this valley, in both the summer and winter, it has enabled me to gain the knowledge and philosophies to be able to explore the magical solitude, that is the satisfying inner peace the mountains bring.
