Age: 21
Current Residence: Glastonbury, CT
Home Mountain: Pico
First Seven Pair Movie: Winter 04-05, don’t ask
One or Two Boards? Two
Favorite Trick: Well there’s one trick I like to do a lot but besides that nothing beats a powdery face shot
Favorite Music: I’m too cheap to buy an ipod so I surf the FM radio
Any pre-riding rituals? Cereal, apple juice, stretching on the chairlift and a quick 3 hour drive from Uconn
Best day of riding this season: Nonstop faceshots at Killy and the day we discovered the best niche in New England for next year
When I’m not riding I: Do anything I can do that keeps me active when I’m not stuck editing on my computer.  I can’t sit still for long so I don’t know how I manage to get any editing done.
Favorite Après-Ski Activity: Trying to find 99 cents for an Arizona.  Sometimes I treat myself to an Arnold Palmer if I had a good week at work.
Jake Glass: Cold-as-ice gangster or adorable suburban G-Unit? He’s as black as his dog
Can I take your order (favorite fast food/dream meal for under $6)? Keep those rodeo burgers coming
If/when the world experiences a zombie apocalypse, what is your zombie-slaying weapon of choice? 2×4 with a nail sticking out
No. 2 at a ski resort: do you hover or nest on the seat? I tried hovering once and fell over so I am forced to nest
Tall Tees or tall skis: The bigger the skis the better
Your take on Parachute Pants: Where can I get a pair?
If you could ride anywhere in the world for one week, where would it be? Some undisclosed location that doesn’t have crowds or a park.  I just want it to puke snow for a week and ride some old chair in the middle of nowhere that drops you off to fun terrain.
Anything else you’d like to add: Just because a trick looks silly doesn’t mean it isn’t a real trick.
Shout-outs: Jeff for all his help, my parents for obvious reasons, all my sponsors that don’t exist and of course everyone who’s followed and supported Seven Pair.  Thanks for keeping me motivated to work countless hours into the night.
