My name is Blake Greene. I am 16 years old. I lived he majority of my 16 years on the ski hill ever since I was 3. Ski racing has always been a passion of mine, but I never truly excelled in competition like i did last year. I competed in the U16 Eastern Championships at Stowe mountain. A total of 20 skiers from all of Vermont attend included all the other states in the east. I was also named the "Athlete of the Year" for alpine ski racing by the Bennington Banner last year.  

The are pictures below is a small town in upstate New York that I was raised in. The small town consists of 756 people. Although in this small town is one of the largest tourist destinations in upstate New York. In the winter, there is snowmobiling and skiing, in the fall there i s people from all around that just come to see the leaves change and the sunsets. In the summer, the Enchanted Forest Water Safari (a water park) is one of most prevalent reasons people visit our small town in upstate New York.
