When Mr. Rubens skis it looks like he is riding a cruiser bike down smooth pavement. Chris has a relaxed and smooth style that has worked well for building his reputation as a great skier and one of Salomons top Canadian athletes. In spite of his profile - we can still vouch that he's a good guy. Last year he slayed it with Warren Miller and this year will quite probably steal the show in theory-3's 'Safety Meeting'. Perhaps his biggest battle has been getting people to spell his name right.......Ruebens, Rubins, Rubbin, Rewbin, Reuwben...........

That's because you've got tiny little chicken legs and you smell funny. Especially on road trips.
