Mark Morris

Biography

Skiing has always been in my life, partly because I grew up in the mountains. My parents grew up skiers in Leadville, and they passed the sport on to me at a young age. All my life memories, jobs, friends, family trips, and dreams have always included skiing. I grew up racing, free skiing, Nordic skiing and I still do it because It makes me happy. The reason I fell madly in love with the sport is because it makes me feel like a bird, especially when I take big air! It also puts me in beautiful and peaceful locations where I can clear my mind of clutter, in places I would otherwise have no business in. I also enjoy the physical challenge it presents as well as the freedom it inspires. Skiing with my best friends and watching them progress the sport is also a huge inspiration for my life. It makes me feel more alive and makes me want to live more.
