I was three... But the moment I was hooked was the first time I built up enough courage to hit a little kicker in the trees. It was like a drug... I needed to go bigger and bigger.
20 years later... I'm still here and still trying to charge.

I was 6, because my sister broke her leg skiing, and I was afraid.

Skied before I could walk, then in 5th grade I switched to snowboarding I think I got hooked after the first jump, went on a trip to monarch, breck, and abasin. That got me super into it. Last summer I went to mount hood and know that I will snowboard till I die.

Went to snow mobile with a friend on a pow day, he said it would be cool to ski behind it with a rope cuz it's so deep. Didn't know how or expect to ski that day so I asked if I could try it out with his stuff and was hooked on it. Yes, the first time I skied was behind a snowmobile.
