I've never been over 10 000' i think about the highest i've been is about 9000'.

What's the coldest temperature you've been outside in?
It's hit over -45 degrees here with a windchill and i've had to walk home from the bus stop.

I've never been that cold- I think the lowest I've seen is -20 Celsius one night.

Warmest? +42 Celsius in Spokane, WA about 4 years ago.

Coldest: -8F at about 6 in the morning in Park City (apparently early morning flights are cheaper)
Warmest: 112F in Orlando, FL (not even the slightest breeze) in the summer of 1998, the year we had all the fires and no rain. Although St. George, UT gives that time a run for its money

Warmest i've been was in Writting on Stone Provincial Park. the thermometers stopped reading and i heard it topped out at about 43. There was a thunderstorm but no rain fell as it was too hot.

A movie about my life would be kinda cool though i dunno what the plot would be. I think it'd have a one word title or some sort of metaphoric name.

What's your favourite song?

My Skatiing Race skis measure in mm 44-42-43. They have two side cuts which are basically like a parabolic ski but having one infront of the binding and one behind.

What's your favourite movie?

Well I'm pretty behind but I'll try to answer a few

Im 16 and Live in Cupertino California (a suburb 45 minutes south of San Francisco) and was born in Tucson Airzona. I lived there until 3rd grade, so 10 or so. The hottest day, well I dont remember any specifics but in the summer it was 120' F often. Coldest, well it was 10'F yesterday in the valley driving to kirkwood. Strangely enough I dont have a cd player, and really I dont listen to all that much music but I do like Pink Floyd, Rush and some of those old "devil rock" bands. I saw snow first in Airzona, when I was 1 I believe and I hated it. First time at a resort was dodge 4 or 5 years ago. My perfect day, well I don't have one day that was so great, but I guess one that comes to mind would be Mammoth last december, the 22nd or something. It snowed 3 feet the 2 days before and the top opened as well as a bunch of other stuff.

For an average day, wake up at 6:15 shower eat and do that stuff, leave the house by 7:05 and get to school. All that until 3 then ride home on my bike. Then I do my homework, eat something and watch tv. The afternoon just depends on my workload, then im usually to bed by 10.

My question: what is your favorite video game? For me right now its probably GTA: San Andreas just cause I just got it and its pretty sweet.

My job right now is up at the Saratoga Country Club and I wash and clean golf carts, park them and pick the driving range. For my life it is expected I go to college, I just have no idea where and no idea what I really want to do with my life. I have some tough decisions ahead of me.

My favorite candy is probably sour patch kids but I dont really eat that much candy these days. Some good pineapple can do the same trick.

The highest elevation is 11,053; the summit of Mammoth Mountain

Video game? It would have to be Mortal Kombat 3 (although I was better at 1 and 2, 3 has better graphics and features).

My favorite- 94 Turns at The Canyons, it's off the 9990 HSQ, the top part is an open face but to get out it's through the trees. Black diamond 9I think, I don't feel like checking, maybe its a double black)

How old were you when you first started skiing

hmm, that would be about 3 years ago, so I would have been about 13 or 14 when I started skiing.



what kind of weather do you consider "good" weather?

liftmech's Photo liftmech 14 Nov 2004

Longest run would be at Whistler, from the Peak chair around the northwest side to Highway 86 to Franz's. I don't know how long it is, but boy do your legs hurt when you get to Creekside.
Favourite run- I don't have one now, but in high school it would have been Lucky Shot at Crystal Mountain, off Rex. Somewhat steep with lots of rollers and a wide-open bottom pitch.
I was one or two when I started skiing, in 1977-1978.
Good weather is a repeated pattern of small storm bands alternating with sunny patches, so that you get a little of everything in one or two days.

Coffee, tea, Coke, or no caffeine at all?

Steaming Bean Organic Mountain Harvest, Granville Island Tea Co. Cream Earl Grey, I don't like Coke.

Desert island discs? Anyone?

Good weather is the classic crystal clear sunny alberta day above -15 and as long as the snow is relatively new it's perfect.

Second Cup coffee usually, of mixed varieties
Coke or Pepsi depending on what's in the fridge

Favourite type of take out food?
