Ask Vasu

How do you describe yourself as an athlete? 

I’m a mountain athlete in many facets. Skier first and foremost, runner, biker, and skateboarder. I’m also a professional soccer player for the US Amputee Soccer Team. I like to say I try to give back more to the sports than I take through my advocacy work in making the outdoors more accessible to everyone.

Quelle facette de votre personnalité est la mieux représentée par les disciplines que vous pratiquez ?

I’m an incredibly stubborn and persistent person and I think it shows in my skiing, especially my ski mountaineering and touring accomplishments.

What's your go-to coffee shop order? We're here for the extra picky orders…

I’m fairly simple. Love a good cappuccino in the morning and a double shot of espresso in the afternoon.

Si vous pouviez passer une journée avec un autre Smith , qui choisiriez-vous et pourquoi ?

I love Brooklyn. She’s like the sister I never had.
