QUOTES

Duncan Adams, new U.S. Freeskiing member

I am psyched to be a part of the team. There are a lot of opportunities to get some quality skiing and training in with great coaches. The team is super cool, they are all good guys who are fun to ski with. I am so pumped for this opportunity. 

Evan Raps, U.S. Freeskiing Coach
I am super pumped, we've been looking to get him on the team for a while. His finish at Dew Tour solidified his spot on the team. We are all for it. It's exciting because Duncan brings in a whole new element and he isn't afraid to do his own thing. He is the complete package; he has been working on his skiing his whole life and its really coming together for him. He can kill it at a pipe comp and shred the pow too. He's pretty much the man.
