Stan Rey

I took my technical background from ski racing and skicross and applied it to the back-country, where I now enjoy chasing powder and busting backies off any drop I see in sight. My winters now revolve around filming for BLANK , Salomon Freeski TV and of course #backysunday. Oh and I also enjoy a cold beer from time to time!
