How long have you been riding at Mt Hotham?
The parents took me up for the first time when I was 3 to put me on the ski’s and I have been going up every season since then. I am 18 now so this makes it my 15th season up at home.

What’s the best thing about it?
The best thing about it is the free riding of course, everybody knows it is the best mountain for it. There are so many options and empty terrain you can find anywhere, you just have to be creative. And we locals know exactly where to go so if your lucky come find us on a powder day.

What’s the worst?
The worst thing about the mountain is the exposure it has. No one really rates Hotham because they havn’t come to check it out themselves. There has been no exposure or coverage on the mountain so people just think it has nothing to offer which is totally wrong because I’ve been coming back for 15 years, having fun and always finding new stuff.

Why should people vote for the Mt Hotham park? What makes it special? Who’s looking after it?
People should be voting for Hotham’s Park because it has a range of boxes and jumps for each level of riding which is always updated with different stuff regularly. It has also been seperated from the Events Department this year so it is now run by free-stylers so we will have some creative things coming. Come check it out.

And finally, who’s hooking you up?
Quiksilver, GNU Snowboards, Celtek Gloves and Transition Snowboard Camp is supporting me at the moment.
