BIG MT. SKIER, WRITER, Adventurer
Born in Austria, raised in Idaho and residing in Jackson Wyoming, Griffin Post has spent the better part of the last decade traveling the world in search of mountains to ski. Appearing in the past seven films by Teton Gravity Research, Post has made significant descents from the Tetons to the Arctic Circle, earning accolades from ESPN and Powder magazine along the way. Transgressing the boundary between athlete and writer, the two-time US Extreme Freeskiing champion has also written about his adventures — from Alaska’s Brooks Range to the Chilean Andes — in the pages of Powder, Freeskier, and Skiing magazines.
