To put it mildly, Mark Abma is having one very remarkable ski career. And for a long time now, he has stood right at the center of big-mountain skiing.
So we talked to Mark about sharing an apartment back in the day with JP Auclair, Julien Regnier, and Anthony Boronowski; filming with Shane McConkey, Hugo Harrison, and Ingrid Backstrom; serving now as a guide for a new generation of skiers like Sam Kuch and Logan Pehota; the fitness and dietary regimen that has allowed Mark to continue to operate each year at a high level; and his broader health and wellness practices that not only allow him to perform so well in big terrain, but enable him to lead a happy and healthy life off the mountain, too.
