Growing up far from any real skiable mountains, but with a real love for it born from winter trips out west, we made due the rest of the year with trading around increasingly worn out VHS copies of (now Classic) Warren Miller films. A lot in the ski world has changed in 30+ years since then but it’s always been a place for unique and fascinating characters and stories. Among those unique characters pushing that change and documenting those bizarre and intriguing stories all along the way is also the newest addition to the Greenpoint fam, professional skier turned acclaimed director . We couldn’t be more stoked to welcome Clayton to the fold and help further his already impressive progression from X-games medaling and featuring in a ton of dope ski videos to his seamless transition to calling action and cut on the other side of the camera. Ask our own gold medal EP . “We love that Clayton is a professional athlete. To be at that level there's an innate drive and passion that keeps you motivated. That's translated seamlessly with Clayton's more recent path in film making. We feel it in his work. There's an emotion, a storytelling technique that feels unique and carries its own voice. We're excited our worlds collided for the next chapter of his career and look forward to riding alongside his successes. As one of his films poignantly states, ‘some want to be defined by their commitment.’ We're ready to bring attention to that.” True dat. And if we happen to, at some point in the snowy, near future, hike a back bowl to poach some freshies with Clayton as a guide, we’re cool with that too. 🤙🏼
The LA-based writer and director is a long-time professional skier who has garnered Bronze at the X Games and starred in dozens of the world’s biggest ski movies.
