I've never personally known any of those kids; will or andy or giray etc, but I've always looked up to them. As a developing park skier in upstate new york, I would always be so proud that these kids from a few hours away were repping so hard. I'd see their edits on newschoolers, see them at Togg rail jams, and see Pat from ithaca ski with them. And now they've come so far. They have sponsors, and ski out west and do comps, and even if they arn't in the limelight, having a peice like traveling circus is something to be very proud about.
