Nick McNutt, born on October 28, 1988 in Kimberly, British Columbia, Canada, has always had a passion for skiing. He first hit the slopes with his father at a young age, but it wasn't until later in life that he began skiing competitively. At the age of 17, McNutt made the decision to move to Whistler to pursue his skiing dreams. It was there that he started skiing regularly and honing his skills on the mountain. During the summers, he worked as a carpenter alongside his father to save up money to take four months off during the winter to focus entirely on skiing.
McNutt's big break came when he was 25 years old and recruited to compete in the Teton Gravity Research film competition "Co-Lab." This opportunity jump-started his ski film career and set him on a path to become a professional skier and ski film star.
Since his debut in the ski film industry, McNutt has become known for his daring stunts and impressive skiing abilities. He has been featured in several award-winning films by Teton Gravity Research, including "Almost Ablaze," "Paradise Waits," and "Far Out," released in 2018. His performances in these films have earned him a large following on social media, with over 50,000 followers on Instagram.
In addition to his work in ski films, McNutt has also been sponsored by major outdoor companies such as The North Face, Atomic Skis, and Mammut Equipment. These sponsorships have allowed him to continue pursuing his passion for skiing and pushing the boundaries of the sport.
Outside of skiing, Nick McNutt enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, including climbing, playing guitar, and mountain biking. Despite his love for adrenaline-fueled sports, McNutt faced a life-threatening experience in March 2020 when he was caught in an avalanche and narrowly escaped death.
When he's not skiing or engaging in outdoor adventures, McNutt spends time with his family in Kimberly, British Columbia. He values his roots and the support he has received from his hometown throughout his skiing career.
