SETH ORTON
APPRENTICE HELI SKI GUIDE
I was born and raised in West Michigan, where my parents put me on skis at the age of two, and I have been sliding down snow covered hills ever since. At 19 years old, I decided to move to Utah and work at local ski resort and attend college. I enjoyed what Utah had to offer so much, that I decided to make it home base. Fast forward to now, I currently live in Cottonwood Heights Utah at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon with the love of my life, Reanna. While close to home, we love to recreate in the Wasatch, either skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or hiking: whatever can get us outside. We also love our fair share of adventure and travel, not just in Utah but anywhere our pockets can take us. Activities, food, culture, experiences, and the great outdoors is what life is all about."
