Shaun Raskin
Shaun has been ripping it up hard for a few years now, competing in
the Tele extremes and now appearing in a Tele movie or magazine near
you. Check out her blog: Shaunraskin.com
Where are you from, when did you begin skiing and telemarking, where do you ski most now?
I am originally from New York. I began skiing when I was 2 years old.
Began tele when I was 18. I ski Alta and the Canyons during big pow
days otherwise somewhere in the Wasatch Backcountry.
 What
are your favorite boots and skis?
Rossignol Systems or the RC 112 when I find myself pointing it down
big AK style terrain. And obviously the Scarpa T-Race is the boot of
choice.
What do you like about BombShells?
BombShells are the most active and aggressive
binding I have ever ridden. No matter what condition or terrain the binding keeps my skis right under me so I can stomp landings and ride any line hard.
What do you like to do for fun when you’re not skiing?
Climbing, Mountain Biking, listening to good music, drinking good beer,
and just kicking it with good  people.
