Ōtautahi / Wānaka, New Zealand | Active: 2018-present elite freeride and film career | Discipline: Freeride, Backcountry Freestyle and Big-Mountain Skiing | Known for: FWT wins, Natural Selection Ski, Weazy, Alaska film segments Priority One When The Face Started Moving The Alaska wall rose above camp with 550 meters of cliffs, spines and snow that changed from chalk to crust in a single traverse.

Logan Pehota dropped into the 2018 Freeride World Tour stop above Golden, British Columbia, already skiing close to home terrain but still under the full pressure of a judged face. He linked speed, cliffs, backcountry tricks, and clean exits into a 98-point run, one of the highest scores recorded on the tour.... Read more on the Athlete page
