Name: Tommy Sullivan
Mountains: Stratton, Okemo
Skis: K2 Fujatives, Salamon Kaos boot, Oakley crowbars
Info: I mostly ski around the north east and sometimes out west. I am mostly into free ski but love to ski the whole mountain. I try to make little rails and jumps at home whenever it snows. I ski more rails than I do jumps.

sick. I get most of my gear at pro-price (ski patrol

). Can't wait to get my new skis in.

I taught for 5 years, proform is the ****. My friend is a rossi rep, so if I ever need any rossi **** i just get the hookup from him. I was able to haggle $175 off the price the shop was asking for these though.

My dad used to work for Rossi so we've got a bunch of old vintage Rossi ****. I love it

I need to pick these skis up soon too.

Oh, and if any of you need new goggles or lenses you should check out my parent's sort of new company - http://www.prolens.com

If there's something you don't see on the website that you'd like just give us a call

Killa_X · 10-12-2008, 03:08 PM

Have you seen the ski video War! ?

I love the helmet cam of the guy who gets caught in that avalanche...JP something, forget his name.

Bobman7 · 10-14-2008, 10:01 PM

JP auclair.

War is a fantastic movie...I may go watch it in a bit.

Killa_X · 10-15-2008, 05:38 AM

JP Auclair is crazy. I went to PBP's Reasons premier and met JP there.

I AM SORRY · 10-15-2008, 01:14 PM

i wish i had enough monies to go ski chamonix

Killa_X · 10-15-2008, 02:50 PM

I was planning on taking a trip out west (maybe telluride), but if the economy doesn't get better soon, i may just take a trip up to Jay Peak.

Bobman7 · 10-16-2008, 01:15 PM

SKi Movie 3 is my favorite ski movie of all time.
There are some decent short ones for free dl on Atomic's website.

jogabonito7 · 10-16-2008, 02:15 PM

I love any Warren Miller film.

Killa_X · 10-16-2008, 02:50 PM

warren miller makes awesome films. I've missed the premier for that last 3 years. Hopefully i'll make it this year.

MiniMan 28 · 10-17-2008, 12:17 AM

bloopers/ bailouts. best ski movie ever by warren lol

jogabonito7 · 10-17-2008, 12:41 AM

Anyone ever skiied in the backcountry in the Adirondacks?

Killa_X · 10-17-2008, 09:10 AM

I've tried. There is barely anything. Going on the north side of royal mountain is the easiest to get to, and there is some fun stuff.

ghostcell · 10-19-2008, 09:47 AM

It's getting colder out

equang2 · 10-21-2008, 05:19 PM

guys what are the most important muscles for ski racers?

im guessing triceps(pushing), quads, abs, hamstrings

i want to improve like tenfold on my racing(SL and GS) and i should probably start working out

Trauma11 · 10-21-2008, 06:34 PM

I used to ski when I was younger and just getting back into it. Im looking to pickup some brand new 08 model twin tips, but im also looking at a used pair of 07 armadas for 150 with bindings. Ill more than likely be working at loon or waterville valley and skiing both of those and also sunday river, sugarloaf, shawnee peak and whatever else comes my way.
