Ever since he was a little kid, he chased snow. He skied every chance he got and he is good! A natural athlete with tremendous grit, Mike can do anything.

He agreed to a couple days in Roger's Pass with Greg and I as a "first time out". One might call us irresponsible for taking him there. Anyone else, we would have said no.
