Hi.
My name is Jay Heule and I would like to apply for the Beulership.
Just a warning that this story isnt about being badass and dropping out of school or anything like that, because i believe that getting a high school education and not completly failing, altough you learn pointless information, definitly helps you along with the rest of your life. Without it i might not have the skill to write this letter.
Heres my story.
This story takes place in the spring time of a couple years ago when i was in grade 7 or 8. My older brother was heading out to Whistler to go and rip around in their awesome park and to to a little halfpipe contesting. So i asked myself "What kind of younger brother wouldn't want to go out with their older brother and ride one of canadas best parks which has been in countless movies, and to skip school at the same time?" and the answer wasnt me. So after discussing this with my brother, who was down with the idea, we went and talked to our parents about the idea. They where okay with the idea but they didnt really want to send a 13 year old out to whistler only with his older brother, so we decided to make a familly road trip out of it. We drove out there and missed a week of school and then spent part of spring break out there. It was the funnest time ridding around with my brother and i learned so many new tricks. Funnest time ever. Now every year we go out to whistler for a week or two at spring time to go skiing. Always super fun and a all round good time when we go out there. Last year the trip made me miss 10% of my classes, but it was definitly worth going out and learning from the world instead of learning about " europeen socialism"

Hi joystick!
hears my story:
First off, living on the east (ice) coast, any chance i ahve to ski powwwwpowwwww, i will take it. Last February, right in the heart of exams week at my school, i was browsing newschoolers and was watching some EPIC gopro powder POV videos and all i was thinking, was wow, i really want to ski some pow. like RIGHT now. I navigated my way to my home mountain's, mount sunapee, website and checked out the snow report for the upcoming week hoping to go the upcoming weekend. To the delight of my eyes, heart, and mind i saw that they were expecting 2 feet of snow on the mountain and even 3 feet in some spots. I jumped up out of my chair, but then realized that tomorrow, was tuesday, and even worse, i had exams, MAJOR EXAMS. So i had to think up a plan. I went to work talking to my parents, and after 45 minutes of begging and talking, they FINALLY SAID YES. I was sooooo happy and this meant cliff dropping and face shots instead of pencil pushing hurt hands. I quickly got onto the phone to call my bestfriend and fellow skier to see if he wanted to come with me! and guess what?! his parents said yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went to bed estatic and could barely sleep. i woke up to k'naan and cali p the next morning reaaally early, i took a shower, threw on my pants, some tall tees and a hoodies and threw my skis, boots, and poles into the car, and my mom took the wheel and we headed to my friends house, he put his stuff in the car, and we headed out! as we got closer snow started to fall and we could not wait, and as soon as we got to the mountain, we hopped out of the car, got our passes and headed to to the lift. we were about the 10th chair of the morning which added even more STOKE. as we got off the lift you could freshies everywhere! we took our first run down a steep and deep run and the powwww was blowing all up in our faces and it was AMAZING. then we found a sick tree run with some sick, deep pow. for the whole morning we just kept taking these two runs and everytime managed to find some untracked snow. after lunch we headed to the park and it was awesome! pow landings off the jumps and it was perfect to try anything you wanted on any feature! to finish off the day we took some side country deep runs, and as the mountain closed we were still hiking lines for pow, we finally came down 45 minutes after the lifts stopped. we were sooo mad that we had to leave the pow, and as we rode away i thought, that was an amazing day, way better than exams. we both soon fell asleep on the ride home!
