"Growing up in Sun Valley is like having 50 big brothers and sisters- everyone is pushing each other to have fun. It doesn't matter whether you are mountain biking, kayaking, or skiing- there is no place I would rather live..." -- Reggie Crist
"For me, life is mostly about enjoying the outdoors with my family and there's no better playground than Sun Valley." -- Zach Crist
Check out the video of Zach & Reggie Crist launching their First Assent mobile tour from Sun Valley!
Reggie Crist: A member of the US Ski Team for ten years and one of the most accomplished X Games athletes of all time, Reggie Crist's single career goal is to ski "as much powder as humanly possible." As a retired World Cup downhiller and the only man to win the Skier X competition twice, he's already got a good start. He and his brother, Zach, are the first sibling pair to win X Games titles and have become icons in the world of skiing.
When not on the race course, Reggie and Zach are staple big mountain skiers with production companies such as Warren Miller and Rage Films. They have also been featured in several adventure films, claiming first descents on the polar ice cap of Greenland, the Himalayas of Nepal, the Alps of New Zealand, and the coastal giants of Alaska.
In the summer months look for them in the white water, riding big waves on sandy beaches or navigating class five rapids by kayak.
Zach Crist: In 1998, after seven years with the US Ski Team, Zach Crist walked away from the intensity of World Cup ski racing and shifted his focus to the burgeoning freeride tour. There, along with older brother Reggie, he found his niche. Taking his first X Games championship in 2001 (he scored bronze in 2000), Zach continues to excel and shared the podium with Reggie in 2005 (earning a Silver while his brother took the Gold).
In the summer months Zach takes to the water: surfing and kayaking his way through the warm months, with a little mountain-biking thrown in for good measure.
