Graham Gray

Shaver Lake, California, USA | Active: 2019-present public video record | Known for: Surface Skis, OS Crew films, Boreal and Tahoe park clips, street skiing | Current: Surface Skis team rider

Boreal Metal Under Sierra Light

The box at Boreal sat blue against a flat winter sky, edges scraped clean by laps before Graham Gray locked onto it with Surface skis underfoot. The setup was simple: rail, snow, speed, balance. That directness fits his public profile. Gray is not a World Cup slopestyle name with a long FIS trail behind him. His skiing lives in short edits, brand-team clips, street parts, OS Crew films and Tahoe-area park laps, where the value comes from feature reading and how a skier turns ordinary terrain into a repeatable style. Surface Skis lists him from Shaver Lake, California, with Squaw Valley and Boreal as his resorts.

Shaver Lake To Squaw Valley And Boreal

Surface Skis gives the cleanest verified biographical frame for Gray: Instagram handle @instagrahhamm, date of birth listed as 1/6/96, hometown Shaver Lake, California, and resort base Squaw Valley and Boreal. That mix places him in a Sierra Nevada ski environment rather than a traditional academy or national-team pipeline. Boreal matters especially for park skiing. Its Woodward Tahoe identity, early-season rails, night laps, small jumps and accessible terrain have long made it a place where skiers can build style without waiting for a huge course. Gray’s public archive fits that rhythm: low-key clips, rail control, friends filming and brand-supported edits.

January PopUp Park With JANKYfilms

One early public marker is the 2019 Newschoolers listing for “Boreal Woodward Tahoe January PopUp Park” by JANKYfilms. The description places Gray at Boreal with Cole Johnson, Ryan Martin and Braden Schroder, riding the first PopUp Park of the season. That detail is small but useful. It shows him inside the local park ecosystem before later Surface and OS Crew visibility. Pop-up parks usually reward quick adjustment: rails set for a limited window, changing snow speed, short approaches and little time to overbuild a line. Gray’s skiing appears to come from that kind of environment, where repetition sharpens small features.

Surface Skis And The Team Street Cut

Surface Skis is the strongest public anchor around Gray. Prime Skiing’s 2021 post for “Surface Skis Team – Street Part 2021” lists the riders as Jack Finn, Cooper Davidson and Graham Gray, with Ian Avery Leaf and Cal Aamodt filming and Avery Leaf editing. That clip places him in a harder street direction than a resort-only park edit. Street skiing changes the rules. A rail has no perfect takeoff, a landing might be scraped onto concrete, and the skier has to trust speed before the spot feels safe. For Gray, the Surface connection gives his skiing a brand and crew context built around park, street and freestyle durability.

The Winter 2021-22 Full Part

Prime Skiing later posted “Graham Gray Street Full Part 2022,” dated January 2023, describing it as a street full part from the 2021-22 winter. That is the clearest individual marker in his archive. A full street part means more than a few appearances in a group edit. It suggests that Gray had enough footage, locations and attempts to hold a standalone sequence. The available listing does not break down every spot, so the safest reading stays broad: rails, urban setups, winter 2021-22 footage, and a skier positioned strongly enough in the Surface orbit to receive a named part rather than only shared screen time.

OS Crew Across The Coast

Gray also appears in the OnSlaught / OS Crew film record. iF3 lists him among the athletes for “FUEL,” the crew’s 2021 ski film, and describes the project as a West Coast street-skiing trip made with Jack Feick, Zach Scheurman, Graham Gray, Mason Kennedy and others. Newschoolers also lists him in the rider roster for the 2020 OS movie “TWENTY TWENTY,” while Downdays lists him in “ELECTRIC,” OS Crew’s seventh project. That continuity matters. OS Crew films are not one-day park edits; they are multi-rider seasonal projects where street spots, travel, slams, filming and crew logistics shape the final movie.

Electric Seasons And Vortex Continuity

Downdays’ “ELECTRIC” entry names Gray in a large skier list that includes Zac Scheurman, Luke O’Brien, Audrey Friess, Hannah Wolff, Sam Blanco, Rita Flynn, Justin “Juice” Kennedy and Mason Kennedy. The same page notes filming locations across Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Prime Skiing’s 2025-26 trailer list later places Gray in “Vortex,” OS Crew’s tenth annual ski film, alongside Mason Kennedy, Kyle Johnston, Trevor Hattabaugh, Ben Moxham, Ian Russell, Anton Holter, Jack Feick and others. That long gap from FUEL and ELECTRIC to Vortex shows that Gray’s presence is not isolated to one season.

Water Down And The Backcountry-Freestyle Shift

Gray’s Surface archive is not limited to rails and streets. Prime Skiing’s 2025 post for “Water Down” describes it as a BC-freestyle clip from Surface Skis, with skiing by Joe Blount, Chris Colgan, Aidan Rambo, Simon Gemiani, Cooper Davidson, Graham Gray, Zach Pfieffer, Levi Ascher and friends. The footage was filmed by Tristan Steen and Ian Avery Leaf, then edited by Steen. That project gives Gray a wider terrain frame. Backcountry freestyle asks for a different kind of feature reading: natural takeoffs, soft landings, uneven speed, quick-built jumps, group digging and the ability to make a line work before conditions change.

Silver Belt Among Bigger Names

FREESKIER’s 2026 Sugar Bowl Silver Belt People’s Choice voting page gives another useful public marker. The ski men’s timestamp list includes Graham Gray at 03:24, in the same field as riders such as Luca Harrington, River Brown, David Wise, Gustav Legnavsky and others. Silver Belt is not his defining career result, but the listing places him in a current freeride/freestyle event environment rather than only archival street edits. For a skier whose strongest record is video-based, an appearance in that field adds a present-tense competition and media reference.

How Gray Fits The Feature

The available sources point toward a skier whose strongest language is park, street and freestyle adaptation. His public clips and credits sit around Boreal park laps, street full parts, OS Crew projects, Surface Skis edits and BC-freestyle sessions. Technically, that suggests comfort with rails, boxes, presses, low-speed approaches, pop-up park features, switch direction changes, urban landings and natural-feature timing. Gray’s profile does not need a major medal count to make sense. It belongs to the ski-video layer of freeskiing, where the proof is a clip, a full part, a crew film, a brand edit, and the way a skier keeps appearing across seasons.

The Current Graham Gray Archive

Graham Gray’s verified record is still scattered, but it is coherent: Shaver Lake roots, Squaw Valley and Boreal listed as home resorts, Surface Skis team presence, a 2021 team street part, a 2022 street full part, OS Crew films from FUEL and ELECTRIC through Vortex, Water Down with the Surface crew, and a 2026 Silver Belt timestamp. His lane is not Olympic slopestyle. It is American street, park and crew-based freeskiing, built through web films and brand edits where terrain choice matters as much as formal results.
