Kye Petersen is one of those people who seems older than he really is. Having been a sponsored skier since age 13, the now 23-year-old Petersen speaks with the humility and wisdom of someone twice his age. In this video, Kye dissects the factors that attribute to his skills on the mountain as well as his actions off of it. The interview is accompanied by gnarly action footage that helps paint a picture of a skier who will be exciting to watch for years to come.
