| Come for the mogul comp info, stay for the fun. So...
I'm Mike, and met a few AZers at the Ski Sundown bump comp. I grew up about 25 minutes SE of Buffalo, started skiing in 4th grade when my mom decided the only way she was going to get to go skiing again was to force her kids to come along with her. Haven't looked back since, even with a broken arm my 8th time out. I've mainly skied bumps since probably 8th grade, but don't consider myself to have been a bump skier until this year when I started paying attention to technique other than weight forward and staying in a fall line. Didn't ski during college for lack of time and money, but started back up again last year. I now mostly ski Killington, but am thinking about adding Ski Sundown a couple nights per week next year.
Outside of skiing, I went to Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY, for Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering. After graduating, moved to CT and work in East Hartford, live about 15 minutes south of Hartford. Also a racing fan, mainly F1, ALMS, Rally, motocross, superbike, MotoGP, (i.e. anything that doesn't involve ovals.) Hockey's the other big spectator sport, though I'll catch lacrosse and volleyball when they're on TV (played both in high school.) Music mainly rock, mix of classic through current, though I have a freakish leaning toward Canadian rock (Rush, Barenaked Ladies, Tragically Hip,...)
Eh. I think that's enough for now. |
