The Ordinary Skier in Chamonix
February may have been the month of Parisians but that didn't put off Seth Morrison from making a trip over to Chamonix as part of his two-year film project entitled The Ordinary Skier.
In case you're not familiar with Seth, he is a professional free-skier who has survived avalanches, a helicopter crash, and even escaped the limits of competition skiing - he prefers ranking up vertical mileage on huge steep faces.
On Seth Morrison's official blog he admits "the conditions were prime for “Extreme” skiing (in Chamonix) regardless of how bad everyone told us it was going to be. Sorry but everyday isn't a powder day! That's fine, its what we wanted for what we went there to do."
Seth and his crew managed to get a fair bit of skiing in as more locals were into their climbing and ice climbing due to the firm conditions we have experienced recently.
Production has been quick to get out this sneak peek of his new film which is due out in later this spring. We can't wait!
Always pushing the envelope, always looking forward, Morrison is one of the few godfathers of the action sports world who have remained 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 a 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. The 37-year-old Coloradan has come to define a provocative combination of style, insanity and talent for the newest generation of skiers.
Seth Morrison was also spotted in the Chamonix Oakley store
