5 Questions With | Cole Richardson | Ask your questions NOW

[Newschoolers]

What’s up NS!

We're shooting a very special episode of 'Five Questions With' ... in Japan, with none other than Cole Richardson.

Cole is part of the new generation of absolutely bonkers backcountry freestyle rippers. Gone are the days of acceptable backslaps and tickled grabs, the young guns are doing it proper. Speaking of 'Young Guns', Cole first popped onto the scene winning that contest and from there, tore a path through the ski industry in the matter of a couple of seasons, and is now starring in the biggest budget ski movies and designing a quasi-pro model ski with Head.

Unfortunately, Cole had a horror-show of a crash on his last visit to Japan which kept him out for the bulk of last winter. But a swift comeback has saw him crushing again before the season was up. Now he's back, fully fit and you can expect big things this season, starting with his current trip to Japan, to film for the Arc'teryx movie (and of course, this episode of 5 Questions...). You all know the drill by now, the episode will consist of a whole bunch of bangers bundled with a short interview featuring five of your questions. So drop your questions below and we'll ask Cole the best ones.
