And apparently UCLA thinks so much of him that the school address www.ucla.edu now brings up his image on skis racing! Go snowboarders and skiers. I am proud, personally, as a former Bruin! I think they should clone him in the snowboard/ski ads. If I were he, I would huck myself to Rossignol, K2, and snowboard companies, etc. etc.! Carol

Just as this fellow from UCLA turned being captain of the ski team and obtained endorsements, could skiing also be a fundraiser involving errant skiers in the mix as this hospital did?


We always see marathons, walks, and the like. But, how about skiers in pink, getting down on the slopes as these folks did in the hospital:

It has been, for many years, for many causes

Amazing, all types of skiers. My nephew was a surfer and boards, also holds a Ph.D. scholarhip at Stanford's school of business engineering, runs marathon, etc. Skiers are amazing, not just good athletes, but, good people too!
