For Seth Morrison, skiing is much more than a sport or job, it’s a way of life. It’s not a privilege he was born with; it’s a passion he discovered on his own. Through hard work and dedication, Morrison has become one of the best skiers in the world. The Ordinary Skier traces his journey from the middle class suburbs of Chicago to the Colorado Rockies and into the underground ski-bum subculture that would eventually become Freeskiing. This is the story of how a collection of misfits turned an elite sport upside down, and how an ordinary kid chased his dream and became one of skiing’s most iconic heroes.

Maybe skiing isn’t about who has the most money, who travels to the most exotic places, or who can do the best double cork 1260. Maybe it isn’t about big film companies with too many riders who can’t associate as a crew. Maybe it isn’t about Olympic dreams and hundreds of hours of Alaskan heli-time. Or maybe it is. Regardless, this group of skiers has found a well-assorted group of insane young human beings, living a season of amazing times and hard-to-forget memories. 4BI9's latest movie is about the lives of these strange and exhilarating men, begging for change, and living a life that is fast, cheap, and affordable.
