Ian has quickly earned the reputation as one of the premier big mountain skiers in the world. The Pemberton, BC native has feature segments in several recent Teton Gravity Research films, including their 2009 release, Re:Session.

I am very excited to announce that I have signed with Marker & Vlkl, said Ian, I have always thought that Marker & Vlkl make the best equipment in the industry. When youre a big guy like me that loves to drop into scary lines, nothing is more important than having a solid, well built ski under your feet.
Thanks to everyone at Marker-Vlkl USA for this amazing opportunity to pursue my dreams for years to come.
We are obviously very excited to have Ian on board, said Chris Adams, Marker Vlkls Team Manager.
Hes one of the hardest charging big mountain skiers there is, so to have him representing our brands
