Your friendly neighborhood idiot (yes, me) attempting a jump at Ascutney Mountain Resort:
You can see the powder kick up (I made a sharp turn) as I come into frame and then I hesitate a little as I'm going into the jump (hmm, is this a good idea?). The first problem is that I'm approaching the jump at the wrong angle. My landing veers left; I should've been aiming further right where the snow was completely groomed. Even if I land cleanly on this attempt, I need to turn very quickly or else I'm in snow that will bury me.
A second problem: my skis should be tighter together. I can see that I'm flying all over the place in this video. That's probably more a function of being nervous than anything else.
About Me
- Jeff Meredith
- I am a researcher, reporter and conference producer with experience spanning the aerospace & defense, biopharma, chemical, consumer electronics, energy, homeland security, human resources and IT markets.
In January I rejoined Worldwide Business Research, where I serve as program manager for Consumer Returns, SCMchem and the Digital Travel Summit.
I have an M.S. in science and medical journalism from Boston University (Dec 2008) and did my undergraduate work at Indiana University, majoring in journalism and political science (May 2001). After interning for the Chicago Tribune as a collegian, I landed my first real gig in the Windy City: I was a senior technology writer for I-Street magazine (Sept 2001-Feb 2003). I covered nanotech and biotech startups. From March-November 2003, I worked for a newsletter publisher (Exchange Monitor Publications) in DC, covering congressional hearings, the NRC & DHS.
