Replying to My own personal #roadtosochi

Hey Newschoolers,

Some of you may know me from the many stories, photos and edits I've posted on this website over the past decade. In particular I've always enjoyed reporting on ski events, and of course writing for the unique Newschoolers audience.

Last year Doug Bishop and Jason Mousseau decided to reward the top long-form journalist on the site with a feature article in the new NS Yearbook (if you haven't picked one up yet, you really should), as well as another big assignment: covering the latest three-ring circus in skiing for the Newschoolers community.

According to the robots that analyze Newschoolers' numbers, that journalist was me, so—today I'm hopping on a plane for Sochi.

While there I hope to give you some reports that venture beyond the clichés currently on display in much of the coverage of these Games. Hopefully I can pull it off. I don't shoot guy-in-the-sky photos and I know the difference between a dub cork 9 and a dub cork 12. But I could use your help in a big way, by telling me what you'd like to see out of Newschoolers Olympic coverage.

What do you want to see from Sochi? Detailed competition recaps? Powder reports from Krasnaya Polyana? A Hunter S. Thompson inspired, drug-addled rampage through the Olympic Village? Here's your chance. Tell me what you want to know about what's going down in Sochi, and I'll do my best to find out for you.

Additionally, Newschoolers in Sochi, hit me up! It'd be great to meet up and get your perspectives. And I might sleep on your couch.

Thanks again to Mr.Bishop, Mousseau and the Newschoolers team for this awesome opportunity!
