Pep Fujas

Bio

Pep Fujas is considered one of the most innovative skiers in the industry. The quiet kid from Oregon exhibits ability and style that defies classification—as equally fluid on a line as he is off a kicker; almost as comfortable skiing backwards as he is facing down the mountain. He was one of the first skiers to land switch in powder, and he has his own signature trick called the Pep Roll. While he can hold his own in the competition arena (he has a silver from WX 2003 Slopestyle), he definitely prefers to spend his days filming in the backcountry. In 2004, Pep won Breakthrough Performer and Best Trick at the Powder Video Awards. Not only does Pep have his own pro-model ski called the K2 Fujative, but his own wine label called, Pep’s Pinot.
