Hi Connor, how’s 2018 rounding up for you?

It’s been a really fun year. At the beginning of the year, I competed in higher level events than I had the previous year. It was really cool and fun to do. During the summer, I went to Mount Hood and got a lot of training. In August, I went to New Zealand with my brother, Dylan, for Junior Worlds. We did well and got to compete together, while also seeing New Zealand. I played football for Lakewood High School for the rest of the season, and am now training for this next ski season.

What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

I am planning on training and competing for the rest of year. I am doing the Grand Prix at Copper in December. I am going to compete in the Rev Tour, the Aspen Open, and the Calgary Open. A personal goal I have is to learn to drive. I just turned 15 in September so I’m still a little new to driving and it’s a little scary right now. I’m trying to work on that.

Any holiday or winter traditions you or your family have?

My family and I always go up to the mountains during Thanksgiving and Christmas. We usually ski on both Thanksgiving and Christmas if there is snow. This year is starting out great at all the ski areas. It's really nice to have my brother Noah back in town and get to ski with him - he left for college in September.

Favorite holiday time food?

Green bean casserole is my favorite main dish for sure. Always the best dish on the table. For dessert, I like either green Jell-O with pineapple or Mom’s pumpkin cheesecake.

What are you most excited about next year?

I’m most excited about traveling and competing in different comps. I got into Grand Prix which will be really cool to compete in, since I have grown up watching this comp. I’m also really excited to compete in all the Rev Tours since I will be more comfortable this year. Last year was my first year competing in them so it was a little nerve racking.

If you could ski with anyone in the world, who would you want to ski with and where?

I would love to ski with Tom Wallisch just taking laps around Breckenridge or Mammoth. I’ve grown up watching him ski and I think it would be really cool to just take a few laps. I also think it would be cool to ski with Candide Thovex at his home resort. It would be really cool to try to keep up.

What do you think your favorite place you’ve traveled has been to?

Definitely New Zealand. I went to Wanaka and skied Cardona for Junior Worlds. I really liked it because of the difference between the U.S. and New Zealand like the cars on the wrong side of the road, the meat pies for meals, and how the resort was set up. I loved the experience and would definitely go back.

Any last thanks you or shout outs?

I’d like to thank my coach, Jeremie Livingston, for helping me with all my tricks and being there at competitions, as well as everyone on the Winter Park Team. I also want to thank all my sponsors, especially you guys at Monster Army. My other sponsors are Christy Sports, Spy, Sarah Burke Foundation, Flyin Ryan Foundation, Innovative Financial and Chris Weatherman at Allstate.

I also want to shout out my parents for supporting me and having to deal with school, getting me and my brothers to competitions, and helping us in all the other sports we do. Lastly, shout out to Matt Mackintosh and Max Schadler for always being the most supportive people at school.
