2002 Olympic Gold Medalist and 1998 Olympic Bronze Medalist Ross Powers is answering the Who? What? Where? Why? and How? from the GO211 community as the another winter season kicks off. Ross"the Boss" Powers has been there and done that in pretty much everything snowboarding has to offer won cars, motorcycles and medals in every event from the X-games to the Olympics. Ask this Vermont native anything and everything shred, what it's like to win Olympic medals in multiple Olympics and sharing a nickname with Bruce Springsteen. Fire away, he's all yours.......

Hi Brian, I bet Shaun has a website or a place to ask him. If you can, you should make it to one of the snowboard events so you can see and meet the pros. Later, Ross

Hi Brian, My friend and I have a shop called Podium and we have a few kids that help us out and skate for us. Since you live far from VT I'd say you should try and help out your local sk8 shop and show them your skills. Good Luck. Take care, Ross

Hi West Boarder, So far this year the best pow day and the only pow day I've had was at Copper CO. It was so fun to ride in some soft stuff. It all depends on the weather but Utah gets some good pow. I heard Crested Butte CO got a ton of snow last year. I hope you have many pows days this season. Take care, Ross

I did some little sk8 contests back in the day. I remember feeling a little nervous and ready to give it a shot. It felt like a snowboard event with friends hanging out and pushing each other to a new level. Good luck in your comps. Take care, Ross

Hi Jack, How's it going? I'd love to start up a snowboard company and be able to put all my ideas into it. But we'll have to see. Give me a call or a e-mail to chat about what's up. There might be some boards to play on soon. I hope all is well. Take care, Ross

Hi Jelle, We have a bunch of good places to ride in the states. I live in VT and ride Okemo Mountain. Out West I like Crested Butte, Park City, Mammoth, Copper and many more. You should try to come on a snowboard vacation sometime. Take care, Ross

Hi Jelle, Years ago I got to ride at the indoor ski area in Tokyo Japan. It was really cool and I'd love to do it again sometime. Take care, Ross

Hi Jelle, I'm going to do some boardercross racing this year and try and put myself in a position to try and qualify for the Olympics in it. I'd love to be able to do boardercross and pipe in the Olympics but it's so hard to just try and make it in one event. Have a great season. Ross

Hi Ben, I haven't been to Mount Snow yet this year. I've been riding Okemo and I took a trip out to Copper. I hope your having fun and off to a good season. Take care, Ross

Hi Shane, I'm out in CO snowboarding so things are going well. There are a bunch of riders out here so it feels like a weekend. The pipe at Copper is good and I got a pow day last week which was also fun. It's good to be shreading again. I hope all is well with you. Take care, Ross

Hi Chad, I'm doing well, I'm out at Copper Mtn doing some snowboarding which has been great. Heading back to VT on Fri to see the family which I'm looking forward to. I hope all is well with you and your family. Take care, Ross

Hi Buzz, I played a bunch of golf early in the summer and then tried to play when I could. I played some fun tourney's with some friends in the fall. I broke 80 a few times which was big for me. I hope you had a good golf season. Take care, Ross

I haven't been to mx207 in Lyman. I've heard of it and I'll try and come check it out some time. I go to Jolley Rodgers in NH some times and use to race there. Take care, Ross

Hi Derek, That's cool you love to ride and ride all the time. I haven't motoed in ME yet but I'd like to. I'll keep my eyes out for the #800. Have fun riding. Later, Ross

Hi, I live in VT and ride Okemo Mountain. I love going out to Crested Butte CO. I'm in Copper CO now and the halfpipe is in great shape and the snow is good. Mammoth, Park City, Whistler and Squaw are also a bunch of fun. Have a great season. Take care, Ross

Hi Lily, I have done a few boardercross events and I plan to do some more this year. I use to race snowboarding back in the day and like riding motocross so I really enjoy riding boardercross. I still love riding pipe and park but I want to give boardercross a shot and see how I do. Take care, Ross

My favorite thing about snowboarding these days is riding again, seeing friends I haven't seen in a while, getting tricks back, riding the halfpipe, doing pow turns and having fun. Have a fun season. Ross

Hi Weman, I'm going to ask for a fatsack for my boat this Christmas so I can get a bigger wave for wakesurfing. I hope you have a great Christmas and get what your asking for. Take care, Ross

Hi Billy, During the time my first daughter was born I was still competing a lot and it would make me think more about getting hurt and stuff. But I still charged it and rode well. It was the same time most contests started requiring helmets so I had to wear one and I kept wearing a helmet since I have a family. Take care, Ross

Hi Josh, I love snowboarding and ride both natural terrain and man made stuff. I live in VT and have competed in halfpipe for a long time so when I get to ride natural terrain with some deep pow it's a treat. Riding a good park or pipe with you friends is always fun as well. Take care, Ross
