2012-AlexPaul

ALEX PAUL
Colorado native Alex Paul is as at home on the slopes as he is in women's underwear. His interests include but are not limited too onomatopoeia, the embracing of daft, upside down-ness, things that wiggle, upper-lip hair and gangs. With but a mere twitch of a tiny muscle on or around his eye he can change the direction of his cunning glance. He has elbows and really enjoys them. Alex can cook things and make things out of other things and break things made out of other things and whistle. Oh can he whistle. Alex has been known to, on more than one occasion, let loose a smile. Half man, half man-boy, half boy, and 3/4 awesome, Alex puts the "oh-no-you-didn't" in speechless. Oh yes he did.

Home Mountain: Breckenridge, CO
Music Preferred: Smooth Jazz all mashed up with dubstep and/or elctronica remixes of christmas carols. 

RESULTS:
I win the contest of being the most me everyday. I also one a couple rail jams back in my younger years. And I've gotten a couple top 3 finishes in Spring Massive events at Breckenridge over the years.
