11 and 1/2 months. I'm really thankful that my dad has such a passion for skiing, and that he transmitted it to my whole family.

Didn't start till I was 18 because I never thought it was cool and didn't grow up around it because I don't live in a big ski area. Started park late last season

I rode snowboards a bit when I was little. I grew up cross country skiing and tried downhill skis around age 10. I bought my first Park skis 3 seasons ago and now I'm here, skiing on the Yukon freestyle team at age 16.

1.5 is when i took my first turns by myself, given i had the old kid skis with the old strap in bindings straight skis. edgy wedgys and crying the whole way. started racing at 12, started park at 14. joined newschoolers when i was 14 maybe . and I'm 20 now. does that make me the youngest start here?
