Best memory in a contest and favorite performance: Coming to the Big Mountain Pro I was the total underdog, no one knew who I was or how I skied. Through those 10 days
of competition I skied some amazing places, skied, partied and chilled with some amazing people and came away with a rider voted 2nd place. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. (well maybe 1st place!)
