For everyone that doesn't know this Australian superstar, Christian Sirianni (not to be confused with Christian Siriano, the American fashion designer and winner of the American reality show "Project Runway"), is a skier that travels with us (Eric Pollard, Myself, Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre) for our film project "Nimbus Independent." Even though this young bloke is Australian, he still knows how to land backwards in powder better than 42% of our sport... Read bellow and learn something new.

5 Standard's:
When did you arrive in The U.S. Of A?
Early this month. I had to finish the university semester and get myself organized for the trip. It worked out pretty well, because there wasn't that much snow, and I've been able to ease into the skiing. All in all, it's great to be back on this side of the world!

How long do you plan on staying?
I'll be here for about four or five months - that will largely depend on how the season pans out and how the snow is at that time.

Where are you living?
I'm living with you (Chris Benchetler) in Mammoth Lakes of course. Mammoth is the goods.

What's your film schedule looking like?
This year, I'm filming with Nimbus Independent again. Last year I was lucky enough to be a part of the Hunting Yeti project, and the guys weren't too offended by my inclusion. So, I'm going to tag along again try to get some bangers.

How many 1080's will you do this year?
Probably two for each contest I'll do this year - gotta have at least two tens per run. 

4 Favorites:
Favorite area to ski?
French alps.

Favorite skier?
Not my favorite question, because I like so many aspects of skiing from different athletes. Chris Booth has amazing natural ability, Pep has amazing style, Tanner is a work horse and competition master-mind, JF and JP for making skiing cool, and the list could go on forever... I guess I could say my favorite    would change daily depending on what I'm doing that day.

Favorite snowboarder?
Similar to above. But, I love watching Gigi Ruf, Devun Walsh, and Travis Rice.

Favorite skis?
Hell Bent's are pretty sick in deep snow. I would have to say that they have been part of some of my greatest times on snow.

3 Do You's:
Do you ever dance at the bar with your pants around your ankles?
No comment.

Do you own a snowmobile?
Yep. I bought a sled a few years ago and it's been so good. It has opened up so many new aspects of skiing to me that I would never have experienced otherwise. It's also a sure way to scare yourself shitless on a regular basis.

Do you drive it back to Australia when you leave?
Only when there are helicopters filming me and each other.

3 Who's:
Who do you best enjoy skiing with?
I have fun with everyone I ski with - otherwise I wouldn't ski with them. Obviously, there are people I ski with more regularly like you and my family and close friends, but there are so many people who are simply great fun to be around and are great to ski with. People I like most to ski with I find are heaps of fun off the hill too.

Who do you best enjoy traveling with?
People I like to ski with. I find it easier to travel with like-minded people. It makes for smoother travel.

Who are your sponos?
K2, Quiksilver, Powerbar, Mt Buller, Joystick, Tecnica.
