In the Summer the clan hopped on a commercial fishing boat and sailed North to Alaska. Her life changed last year with the passing of her father who was the victim of an avalanche.
As a professional skier, being in the mountains is her job, her passion, her history. As a member of the family business, McKenna has now taken over the role of Skipper on the boat. Her life has been turned upside down and amidst the confusion and change she's working on figuring out what it that means, who she is and how to move forward.
Thayne grew up in the Church of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake city Utah before deciding at age 15 that the Church wasn't how he wanted to live his life.

It's proven in the way he carries himself and in the respect he shows others and the people who continue to influence him.

Marcus Caston is a skiing purist. The SLC native believes that we should all be back on straight, skinny skis for the sole reason that it will separate the good from the average. Marcus, who's turns and face shots have graced the cover of many a popular ski mag, talks about a lot of the contrasts in today's ski culture. Blackcomb vs Whistler, Alta vs Snowbird, hucking big cliffs vs throwing tricks off of little ones are just some of the topics covered. This self professed, "Ski Dork" is un apologetic with his thoughts that some may find controversial.
Once an aspiring ski racer, Marcus now spends his time travelling the world shooting photos and doing his best not to ski in the rain at which it seems he is failing miserably. Enjoy!
