Ask Tom Wallisch...

Since everybody loves Tom, he and I came up with a fun idea last week. From today until Friday, ask Mr. Wallisch anything you want in this thread, whether it be his thoughts on skiing, style, his upcoming season or how the near extinction of the Tibetan antelope affects him personally.

On Friday we'll shut down the question period and over the course of next week Tom will pick his favorites and we'll publish his answers in the news during the week of December 8th.

Sound good? Good. Happy interviewing...

Feelings of the "It aint easy being steezy" thread on TGR and the creeper taking pictures of you and then making a shirt with you on it?


Are you gonna wear one if you can get an 3X Tall Tee?

If you weren't a skiier i wouldn't feel that i could relate to you in anyway, but you are and you are one of my favorite skiiers, i belive that we are all skiers first and foremost and can't see why we don't all get along. With this in mind what are your feelings about the way there are cliques and hate within skiing? Is there anything you don't like in our sport right now or do you think it's as silly as i do?

can you comment on your feelings towards competition? it seems to me like you don't compete much. do you not like competing or would you like to go there sometime or do you think your 4bi9 edits along with all your other edits give you enough exposure to not have to compete? if so how do you feel about that?
