Big mountain skiing, especially, it's what I love to do. It comes with risk and I've accepted that risk. I'll always accept that risk.

John Collinson is no stranger to the wonderous mountains of Utah. He grew up skiing at Snowbird where his dad worked as a ski patroller. John would climb peaks all over the west with his parents and sister Angel, who is also a pro skier.
Although John had his sister to look up to, he forged his own path and made a name for himself at a very young age. He’s the youngest person to climb the Seven Summits and became a Junior Free Skiing Tour Champion—accomplishing both at age 17. You can find him pursuing his frontier across Alaska to Kosovo to Japan, looking for powder, jumps and having fun doing what he loves every day.
