Bio
Nobody has more of an impact on the fired-up, Friday-night-in-the-fall, ski movie audience than Seth Morrison. You can feel the energy level in a room rise whenever his image comes onscreen, usually to a rocking soundtrack as he launches an unimaginably giant back flip off a monstrous cliff.
The 34-year-old Coloradan has come to define a provocative combination of style, insanity, and talent for the newest generation of skiers. After lifting the public’s eyes to freeskiing culture and even stretching his hand to them with his own pro model ski, Morrison consistently tops Powder Magazine’s Reader Polls and was acknowledged as one of “the most influential skiers of our time.”
Always pushing the envelope, always looking forward, Morrison is one of the few godfathers of the action sports world who remain at the forefront of their sport for more than a decade. One of the hardest working pros in the industry, Seth’s incredible staying power is testimony to his constant evolution as a skier. His uncanny ability to read terrain and manipulate it to his advantage is unmatched in the ski world. Morrison is the anti-claimer, quietly seeking the gnarliest line and executing it to perfection.
Morrison may have lost some of his piercings, but he’s still blasting Suicidal Tendencies in his iPod. It’s no wonder Seth Morrison’s personality off the slopes translated effortlessly into the unconstrained skier he has become today.
