Nikki has been skiing since the age of 3 and does not intend on stopping anytime soon.
Some history of NAFSC from the memory banks of Dustin Wilson.
I have been asked to recollect my personal experience of NAFSC.
My involvement with skiing began at a very young age.
As a young boy from Edmonton my parents both ski patrolled at Marmott Basin in Jasper so winters for me from a very young age involved a weekend adventure in the motor home to the mountains. I dreamed of what the snow was going to be like staring out the window of the bunk over the cab of the motor home every time we hit Hwy 16 west until I would fall asleep (usually before Edson as my mom’s tells me).
