Breakthrough Performer

Has any youngster created more buzz for big mountain descents than 17-year-old Kye Petersen? Doubtful. The little man from Whistler stomped everything in all three of his movie appearances in 2007—namely, Believe, Lost and Found, and Idea. He spun off cliffs and pillows, performed like a seasoned vet on big mountain descents, and skied alongside while nearly out-skiing the best in the industry in regards to Seth Morrison, Tanner Hall, Pep Fujas, Dan Treadway, and Ian McIntosh. As one PVA panel member put it, “Kye became a man this year.”
