A Life Shaped by the Mountains
Raised in the breathtaking surroundings of Aspen, Colorado, Colter's journey on skis began at the tender age of three. The mountains are not only his playground but are ingrained in his DNA. It was in the legendary slopes of Little Cottonwood Canyon where Colter's professional ski career catapulted into the spotlight, catching the eyes of major outdoor publications.
Career Highlights that Define a Visionary
Colter's resume is adorned with remarkable achievements, including multiple film debuts such as Teton Gravity Research's "Dream Factory" and Warren Miller's "Ticket to Ride." He’s not only a star in front of the camera but also behind it, producing and starring in films like "Sandstone & Snow." His endeavors extend beyond the slopes through his involvement in developing Volkl’s Revolt series, showing his influence in ski innovation.
More Than Just an Athlete
But Colter's talents extend beyond skiing. From a young age, he was drawn to the art of photography and cinematography. Choosing to focus on creating the media that once inspired him rather than competing, he’s contributed to notable projects that continue to inspire the next generation of skiers and adventurers.
