Rage: Alright! We need to improve thisinterview. We left off talking about ping pong. What else was a challenge from the last year?
Mark: Learning how to land switch in powderand ride a sled to get there. I’mall good now, figured it out
Rage: How many times did you get stuck w/ asled this year?
Mark: Let’s think. Kyler’s broke on me a bunch. Idk a lot. By springtime, I never gotstuck
Rage: Ya cuz there’s no powder left! Thestats are 3x a day, 360 days, 180 times at least. I got stuck about 100x too.What’s more frustrating getting stuck or other buddies getting stuck and youhelping them?
Mark: I don’t mind helpingpeople cuz I help them and then they help me when I get stuck. I really don’t like getting stuckmyself.
Rage: Ya cuz you don’t have to lift a side,you just fake it and pretend to help. Next question Mark. Would you agree w/ the statement thatyou might be one of the nicest pro skiers out there.
Mark: You’re such an asshole. Dick. Just kidding. I’d say Cosco isnicer than me (enough about Cosco, he’s gotten enough play).
Rage: You’re girlfriend def wears the pants,that’s for sure.
Mark: Don’t put that.
Rage: Why, she does.
Mark: Whatever
Rage: What’s it like to be a film skier w/outmuch support? Struggles, notgetting what you want w/out a budget?
Mark: I have to work allwinter so it makes it hard to get time off. It sucks cuz I take time off, driveto Utah for 3 days, and drive all the way back.

Rage: What’s this weekend?

Mark: Byron, Dylan Natale, Dan Norkunas,Jill.
Rage: Ha ha.
Mark: I’ve been winning against her once anda while.
Rage: How does it feel to be 6’1 and get beatby a 5’3 midget(Dylan)?
Mark: He’s closer to the table and has abetter view. Why do you thinkChinese people are so good? To beat him I have to be 2x better.
Rage: That makes no sense.But, he’s also good at basketball and tennis.
Mark: I’ve never playedtennis. That’s cool, he’s likeMugsey Bogues. I can dunk on him though.
