even though im new to the skiing world, with me being so into the sport, and looking up to many different skiers, it really made JPs death hit me hard. But it got me thinking about some of the other people/things that inspire me. i think itd be cool to read what and who inspires you guys, and take some time to appreciate them. heres some of mine

-Jps part in All i Can is the one of the first videos my cousin showed me to get me into skiing and its pretty much what sparked my obsession.it was the first time i really saw how sick skiing is.

- TC was really funny and got me super excited to ski, their videos showed me how fun it could be. just seeing them have so much fun got me super stoked

- Henrik and Phil are big inspirations for me not only because of their creativity in the sport, but for how cool they were in person too after meeting them recently. they were super nice in person

those are just a few, theres so many more athletes i could talk about
 
Sarah Burke and my best friend are the 2 people I look up to most in skiing.

Sarah because of everything she's done for women's freeskiing and her passion for it. It's essentially unmatched. There's no doubt in my mind womens skiing would be a lot different if it wasn't for her.

My best friend because she's the one who really pushed me to get into freeskiing. Also, she's had so many concussions and injuries but she still comes out every winter and progresses and it's just awesome. I know there's countless pros/ ams who get over injuries and what not but when it's your best friend it's a lot different. I don't know how to explain it. But she's always been an awesome motivator for me and I honestly wouldn't have nearly as much fun skiing if it wasn't for her.
 
Shane McConkey. He would kill it on snow, and had the greatest time doing it. Watching him made me want to push harder in it. Not to mention his immense contributions to the world of skiing. RIP
 
My best friend Jeff and my girlfriend. I use to snowboard and they made skiing look like so much more fun. My buddy let me use his skis and ever since my first switch turn I instantly fell in love.

Yeah Shane's my main inspiration. GNAR changed my life
 
Bobby brown. I was at x games when he won slopestyle and seeing him do the switch dub misty 12 got me so inspired as a little 3rd grader. That was the turning point in me becoming a park skier
 
As much as i might get hate for it, Nick Geopper and Tim Wallace. With everything they put out and compete in they always come out so close to perfect that it makes me want to make all my tricks as perfect as possible
