James Stewart
James Stewart was a tester with us last year, and we’re psyched to have him back for another go-round. Having only skied for 4 years, James has a unique perspective on the sport of skiing. We sometimes get pigeon-holed in our view here, so it’s nice to get some fresh eyes on the sport and on some of the product that we test. He learned to ski at Okemo, and these days prefers to ski in the woods on his Nordica Patron skis. Averaging about 60 days per year, James is continually honing his craft. His other hobbies include bikes, and that’s about it. Mike Thomas, from Pinnacle Ski and Sports, is his favorite skier, and he lists his most important piece of gear to be his buff. Hard to argue if you’ve ever had a cold face. He lists a goldfish as the animal that he would like to be, and we’re not quite sure why—probably because you get the run of the fishbowl?
