Story
I grew up in Bozeman, Montana and started skiing at age 6. My last year of high school I chose to graduate a semester early and make the move to Salt Lake City, UT. I began to pick up some sponsors and make some connections in the ski industry. After some success on the slopestyle circuit, I ended up qualifying for the Dew Tour and to compete in several other major events. While competing I also began exploring the filming side of skiing and immediately knew that was the route I wanted to pursue. In the coming years I filmed parts for many different film companies including Level 1 Productions, Teton Gravity Research, 4BI9 Media, Good Company and the Faction Collective. I started gravitating more towards backcountry skiing and now that is my sole focus. I love spending as much time as I can out in the mountains in the summer and of course skiing in the winter.
Why CAST?
I've skied look pivots for as long as I can remember and it's the only binding I really trust. Being able to tour with that has been a game changer for me and gives me the confidence in my gear to ski the way I like to in the backcountry.
