An accomplished mountaineer, Johnny Collinson is rightfully recognized as one of the world's very best big-mountain freeskiers. In the summers, he and his family – including older sister, Angel, also a pro skier – would climb peaks all over the west, with Johnny summiting Mount Rainier at age 4 and soon knocking off other iconic peaks like Mount Whitney, Mount Hood and Mount Shasta. By age 17, he became the youngest person in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest peak on all seven continents, including the world’s tallest, Mount Everest. But he’s not just an accomplished mountaineer. Johnny is also one of the world’s top big-mountain freeskiers and was a Junior Freeskiing Tour champion at the age of 17, before going on to compete on the Freeride World Tour.
