#About

Seth is a 4th generation born and raised Banff local. In fact, his g,g,g grampa was Tom Wilson, the first non-indigenous to see Lake Louise in 1882. Seth started skiing at 2 years old on the slopes of Mt Norquay with his family and friends along with playing hockey on the side. At 12 years old, Seth joined his first ski program, ULLR, at Lake Louise.

Seth had a breakthrough 2023 season on the IFSA Junior Freeride circuit with 3 wins & a 3rd culminating in winning the North American Championships in the 12-14 year old category and ending the season 2nd in the overall standings.

Skiing at Lake Louise with his friends, family, coaches & team is his true passion. Similar to catching a wave, nothing beats the feeling of complete freedom in nature.

During the summer season, Seth can be found on the golf course & mountain biking with the AMP program and coaching 4-9 year olds with Bikescape.

He anticipates a positive life in the mountains around the world.
