Hey, my name is Ian 'Cheddar' Watson and I am a Downhill/AT Skier. I have been skiing for 15 years.
Pick me because: I really like skiing, and I'm tired of using everyone's handy-me-down gear!
About Me
My ambitions plans for next winter: I have many plans and ambitions, so I'll go with the flow. The are a lot of area's right around home on the Coast that I'm still to visit, this is where my focus is this winter and next, along with spring ski mountaineering missions farther north in BC, Yukon and Alaska. I have to return to Chamonix as well, and the Andes.......and everywhere else I not been yet!!! Recently I have done a little filming with Dendrite Studios, hopefully I can do more as its like comp skiing, but with pow landings and you chose the venue, perfect for good times pushing my skiing.
Why I Ski: I love to ski down mountains, climb up them, explore mountains and drainages I've never been too, straight line stuff, jump off stuff, ski on top of gnar, burry my face in powpow, stay in cabins and tents, make the best friends ever, watch those friends shred and get large amounts of exercise. All these reasons and more are why I get out of bed everyday and try to go skiing.
