This will be your first season on the MFD ALLTIME. How do you think it will change your skiing?
Well I’ve been skiing and touring on seven-year-old “Secure-A-Fix” generic, bright pink trekkers for my last six seasons. So you could say it’ll change my season in a very, very positive manner.
Any run or zone or style of skiing in particular you’re looking forward to hitting with the ALLTIME?
Oh man, so many. I just look forward to crushing my hikes with so much ease and more space in my backpack. But I have not skied the hypodermic needle yet. That’ll go down this year for sure via the ALLTIME.
Best known for (on-hill):
Being a relentless powder hound.
