5 Reasons I live in Reno, NV
Ha ha ha ha, I made a mistake
It’s cheap
 My wonderful roommates
The nightlife, Reno’s open 24 hours! Trouble…
I’m too broke to move back to Tahoe

5 Things I did this summer
 Rode my bicycle all over Reno/Tahoe
 Went duck hunting
 Rafted the Truckee river
Hiked all over Tahoe
Explored the biggest little city in the world, RENO!

5 Reasons I am skiing in the Freeskiing World Tour
The guy’s at Moment suggest I try it out
I wanted a new challenge
 Dropping big cliffs is Fun!
The people
I like to compete

5 Reasons I like to compete
Watching other people compete pushes me
 I get to ski terrain that’s closed to the public
 It helps me set goals for my skiing
 I’m forced to drop cliffs in conditions I wouldn’t normally. I like that challenge.
Winning from time to time is fun too!

5 Reasons I like to film
It takes me to new places
 My family gets to see me ski. Which is better than in person. I’m pretty sure my mom would have a heart attack if she knew everything I do.
 It’s a new and different aspect of skiing for me
It’s a chance to get creative
One more challenge

5 Thoughts than run through my head atop a competition run
I have to pee, yup that’s my nervous reaction.
 Where is my line again?
I hope I picked a good line
Do I hit the big cliff? Or ski like a girl off the little one? Big cliff it is.
Ok, here I go…

5 Feelings I get from wearing the Sickbird buckle on my waist
 Hmm, I can’t believe it

 WOW!
