Sean Phillips's Skiing Gear & Expert Recommendations

    Go skiing with your friends!

    Growing up skiing the ice and cold of the East Coast in the Adirondacks and Vermont shaped me into the skier I am today. Now based in Utah, I’m lucky to call Snowbird and Alta home and enjoy The Greatest Snow on Earth every chance I get. I’ve been a sponsored skier for the past 8 years and have competed in IFSA FWQ events, traveling across the U.S. and beyond in search of new terrain and unforgettable lines. I’m also a huge gear head, so if you want to talk skis, boots, bindings, or anything equipment-related, I’m your guy. Always happy to help and answer questions!

    Discipline: Skiing

    Specialty: Freeride

    I love skiing for the freedom it brings. The freedom to choose any line you want. The freedom to ski on a sunny groomer day or a dark, stormy day with deep pow. The freedom to wake up early for first light or stay out late and watch the sunset over the mountain peaks. One of my career highlights was shooting with photographers in the Banff area a couple of years ago. We traveled around Lake Louise, Banff Sunshine, and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. At the end of the trip, one photo in particular really stood out, and the following fall I got to see myself as the featured athlete on Lake Louise’s season pass. Competing in FWQ 2* and 4* events has helped define my skiing style. Growing up on the East Coast, I was raised in a family that loved quick slalom turns and running moguls at Killington all day long. After moving out to Utah and skiing at Snowbird and Alta, I fell in love with speed. Carving a face and pretending it’s one giant GS course is where I feel most at home. Skiing fast and straightlining chutes have become my biggest joys.
