Erik Olson

Age: 21
Hometown: Lyons, NY
Now Residing: Lyons in the summer, Albany during the school year
First Meathead movie appearance: Snow Gods
Favorite moment from last winter: I don't know if I can say that I had one moment that stands out among all the others. Definitely some good times were the first and last days of the season, the Vermont Open is always good, Sunday River shoot, and February break was pretty awesome
Other than being a skiing superstar I...
Go to college, work in a can factory, play some jams with my friends from home, try to get outdoors.
I like listening to... Rock and roll!!
Hot Dogs or Hamburgers: Burgers. I can't eat more then a few hot dogs, they suppress my appetite.
Skiing Hero: I would saythe friends that I ski with right now have the most influence and inspire me the most out of anyone. Why? because I believe they share the same vision on where the sport should go.
Double daffy or Double spread eagle: Definitely double daffy. Spreads should only be pulled following another maneuverfor example a twister spread is a good combo or to maximize the intensity of the spread you do an iron cross back scratcher then go into a nice powerful spread. But remember: spread+spread= bad, combo+spread=ok
Favorite Eastern ski location:
Brantling ski slopes, the vertical is mind blowing
Best thing about skiing in the East: Making something out of nothing and the east makes you have more appreciation for the good days that you get.
Worst thing: rain can be an issue sometimes
Favorite spinning/ flipping axis: carve 5
Most underrated grab: Tail grab
Hidden Talent: I work in a can factory in the summer. 250,000 cans in an 8 hour shift, think about it
Inner Animal: owl, whoo whooo
