Owen Leeper

Born and raised in Aspen, skiing has been a lifelong passion.

Owen started skiing at four and grew up between Aspen and Ouray, with the mountains of Colorado shaping nearly every part of his life. Early years competing in halfpipe and slopestyle eventually gave way to bigger terrain, longer lines and a growing interest in what existed beyond the resort.

In 2013, Owen moved to Jackson Hole. The Tetons became both home and the proving ground for the style of skiing that would come to define his career: technical lines, large airs and consequential terrain approached with a mix of creativity and precision.

Rather than relying on the traditional ski-film path, Owen built much of his career independently; filming, editing, and publishing his own work while chasing the best conditions he could find. That approach allowed him to choose the mountains, lines and stories he found most interesting, while building a global audience around the places skiing took him.

Owen splits his winters between Jackson Hole & The alps

Owen has spent more than a decade exploring the Tetons and has skied many of the range's major peaks and couloirs, including the Grand, Middle and South Tetons, Mount Moran and Buck Mountain. Most years his ski season stretches from October well into summer, trading lifts for crampons, ice axes and long approaches as the season changes.

Discovering the best destinations worldwide

Over the years, he's followed snow throughout North and South America, Europe, Japan and New Zealand, returning to some places again and again and constantly looking for somewhere new.

Today, Owen continues to pursue big lines and new objectives while bringing a wider lens to the mountain world he's spent his life exploring.

Through his films, destination guides, and weekly newsletter, he shares the places and recommendations that are the best in the world.
