"I was raised in Mississauga Ontario. My dad loved hockey, so started to skate at the age of three. I think most of my ski balance, comes from being on skates at such an early age. My parents both love and play sports so it was perfect for me. I started to ski at the ripe old age of 18. My friends were all skiing. I really wanted to join them, but the problem was cost. My parents always helped me pay for sports, but their rule was simple - 'we will only pay for two sports'. I loved hockey and I loved baseball, so I couldn't start skiing until I could work enough to pay for it. I made it to the Toronto ski show in my 18th year and I picked up some K2 5800's. Within the year I was skiing the same runs as most of my friends and loving it...."

Nice to learn more about FT. I liked the sense of purpose and focus that I got when reading this article. I hope your snowboarding (what will your skiing mates say when they read this!) improves quickly and that we get to see you on Yuzawa side one of the mountains one of these days. Reading this article also reminded me of your friend Tats. I hope he is doing better. Finally best of luck in your new business venture, given your profile I am certain it will be successfull. thumbsup.gif

we all want to touch you toque, but you're too far away. However I will accept autographs as long as you pay the postage. :p

 

FT y'know, I seem to have a vague memory when I read about you rescuing some friend from a creek. Gosh, now who was that? I'm racking my brains trying to remember. Can anyone help me out here? confused.gif ;\)
