2014

Began the sport at Stoneham. "I was wondering who the kids were jumping around on the Big Air in the park at that time. They had patches on their pants, so my dad told me that they were the freestyle skiing club. Since then, I decided I wanted to join the club." (Athlete, Apr 2021)

Really liked to jump when he was a kid. "Every weekend with my family, we were going to Stoneham to our ski chalet and as soon as we arrived, I dressed up in my ski suit and I was heading to the park to hit the jumps. I developed a passion for moguls later on but those are the main reasons why I am doing mogul skiing today." (Athlete, Apr 2021)
