We have all been amazed by Drew Petersen's skiing and professionalism for a young freerider. He was recent awarded #12 amongst the top 20 skiers under 18 by Powder Magazine.

According to Drew:
"It is a great honor that Powder picked me for the article. There are hundreds of kids like me coming up that absolutely shred. I would like to thank Powder Magazine, Jason Anthony for his quote about me, and Tony Harrington for the two great pictures that he took of me."

Last week was filled with steep and deep at the World Heli Challenge in Wanaka, New Zealand. It has been two full days of skiing for the athletes: The first day was the Freestyle Day and the second was the Extreme Day. One of Flylow's athletes Drew Petersen, who's just 17, competed alongside athletes like two-time champ Ted Davenport. Many of the pros are saying that he has proven that he has a future in big mountain skiing at the young. You can vote for Drew for the People's Choice Freestyle and Extreme Skiing on the 2011 World Heli Challenge Peoples Choice Voting Facebook page. Voting ends on August 10 at midnight, so be sure to get your votes in ASAP.
