I’m Carter Durlacher, a 15-year-old adventure athlete born and raised in Whistler, BC. Growing up in the mountains, I’ve been on skis since I was two years old, started ski touring and heading into the backcountry by age seven, and I’ve been hooked ever since. My family and I spend countless hours exploring off-grid, from big mountain areas to the smallest hidden spots, and I love every second of it. I started competing in Freeride last year, and I’m currently ranked 2nd in North America on the IFSA Jr Freeride Tour.
My goal is to continue developing my skills as an athlete and to become a professional skier, sharing my passion for skiing and mountain life with others. When I’m not skiing, you’ll find me on my skateboard, biking, hiking trails, or out on the water windsurfing. I spend most of my time outdoors, and I love creating videos to share and inspire people to get outside, have fun, and see what’s possible when you follow your passions.
As the winter season approaches, I’m excited to keep pushing my limits, representing Whistler, and giving my best on and off the mountain. A huge thanks to Old School Initiative for supporting me this upcoming season—I’m stoked to represent you!
Highlights: Ranked 2nd overall in North America on the International Freeride Junior Tour U15. Skiing, snowmobiling/sled skiing, skateboarding, mountain biking, dirt biking, surfing, windsurfing/foiling, and hiking.
