Describe going down an IceCross track for the first time:

-Standing at the start ramp, looking down over what appears to be a cliff the size of the Grand Canyon, made of ice, you begin to question your life-choices up to this point. You grit your teeth, swallow a few thousands times, remember to add a breath in there once or twice so you don’t faint and toss yourself onto the track hoping your instincts have your back one more time. After an exhilarating, tiring, hopefully pain-free 40 seconds, you realize you’re at the bottom, and you think to yourself, “let’s do that again!”

​

What first got you interested in the sport?
-The spectacle and the grandiosity of the Saint Paul course. I wanted to try it, experience the rush, and master it more than anything.
