What's your killin it to crash ratio?
Care to tell about any noteworthy wrecks? (yours or witnessed)

How does your "Oscar" acceptance speech go?

I crash often, mostly little hang ups, or stunt gone wrong, a lot of controlled falls where its easier to go down sooner than later. when its soft its all good. In ak this year I had hang ups, or tumbles, or close calls on almost every line. Conditions were a lot different to last year where I skied 4 weeks with out crashing at fantasy camp.

Do people try and follow you around the mountain if they recognize you? Are you recognized a lot skiing in bounds?

'

yes, if I let the shag out I get noticed pretty easy, but if I roll in the ballaclava with the hair tucked in im fairly low profile. I dont mind it really, its usually just other skiers who love to ski, I can relate, and love collecting the vibe.

Now that you are a worldly globe trotting star, What is Justin Bieber really like?

Ive overherd some good ones... but my memory is bad.. .it would take too long to dredge something up...
Gnar on the other hand ... All the time! best one was a guy, saying it at snowbird, then dropping in, crashing, loosing a ski, and tumbling toward rocks. stops, looks up an says... " just kidding".

Sage, in case you missed-
If you were to do a big line/AK ski, without regard to marketing constraints, what would you make?

And yeah, if you can judge a person by how kind he is to kids- you rock, my grom adores you and you have always been amazingly friendly at the TGR events.

[chompfacekillah]

You doesn't ski with earbuds does you?

Who is the fastest skier you've seen on big mountain terrain?

Does ski patrol give you dirty looks out of jealousy?

What's worse than greedy locals?

No I do have some speakers mounted in my helmet, but I can still hear the outside world.
Morrison, Ralves, and Mac, they are fast, Ligare too... Ive seen those guys fly!!!
No I have a good relationship and huge respect for Ski Patrol.
unappreciative tourists.

Wow, way to slay the forum Sage... hahaha, this is hall of fame material.


Do you have a vision of where you want your career to go? Keep filming and see what happens? Move to R & D with a ski company? Get more into art?

Any plans to compete this year?

thanks fun times! Well I see many potential options, for now I see the next 6+ yrs continuing in the direction that I have been on course with, focused more and more on big mountain and less freestyle. After that I see a fusion of my passions and skills fusing together for the future. I love art, building, production, lighting, design, filming, photography, some how these interests and skills will coalesce into my future.
not sure about competitions, I do love the powder oriented ones.

long term....+20 yrs, where are you?

see above.

Preferred method of travel

Heli or Skins?
Snowmobile or Snowcat?

Alta Java or Birdfeeder?

Burning man or burning J?

All have there place.
I like the one in watsons mid mt
at this point its Burning J... the man was a great 12 yr run but now I am focusing that energy and time else where.

You are the man sage. Forgot to ask what your worst injury has been from skiing. Take care bro and keep ripping

[ak_powder_monkey]

Does it take off?

Not that one, it will crash after falling off the end of the treadmill, unless its a great treadmill in the sky, in which case the 747 will swoop downward at the end of the treadmill in a stall until it gets enough speed to recover

[WaistDeepGroomers]

Advres is so last year - Creaky Fossil is more de rigueur this season
