Ben Richards Joins the LINE Skis Pro Team
BEN TAKE IT AWAY!
I was born in the US and learned to ski when I was 2 years old at Mammoth Mountain. Then I moved to New Zealand at the age of 6 as both my parents are kiwi and they wanted me to go to school here. I actually grew up ski racing before I discovered that skiing on fatter skis in deeper snow is where I'd much rather be!

Plans for the season?This season I am heading over to Europe to Compete on the FWQ series in hopes to qualify for the Freeride World Tour next year. Covid has gotten in the way the last couple years so hopefully this year goes smoothly.
Why LINE?
Skiing is too serious these days and I love that LINE seems to be most focused on fun.

Grabbing is overrated!
