craziest shit happened to me at n*! so my friends n i always race switch down to the village from mid-mountain and one day it was super hot n we were truckin nuts through a shaded area.   all the sudden my friend cameron and i both hit a patch of snow that had been sitting in the snow for dayz at the same exact time.  both of our skis immediately came to complete stops and we were both hucked into switch backflips goin mach!  he being lighter than i rotated it all the way around and landing back on his skis.  eventhough he fell over cause it all happened way too fast it was pretty much the coolest switch back ever rotated on snow!

When you ski switch a lot you realise the importance of being able to spot over BOTH shoulders. You're def skiing blind a good bit of the time, like a snowboarder on his toe side. Now the list. The best one was showing off for a couple of chicks heading over to Pali lift at Abasin. Skied into that big sign by the Molly Hogan magic carpet. The beach was full of people and they were cheering my near death experience. Last winter I skied right into a pine tree, (also showing off for a chick), but  the most fun thing is the cornice at Abasin, totally groomed on top, nice pitch to pick up some speed, and a steep landing. Faster you go the bigger the jump. sorta easy to land on people though. Get a spotter.
