MARK HOYT

Growing up in the deserts of Western Colorado, Mark learned how to ride at a small mtn called Powderhorn. Mark’s crew started hustling their full-length ski/snowboard DVD’s in high school and then moved to Breck when he was 17. He linked up with Stept Productions and got shots in their next 5 films. Mark can be seen in the park sending double corks on the daily or out in the backcountry filming a video part. Mark now lives in South Lake Tahoe, CA with his wife and kids, exploring new terrain and filming new video parts. Mark has the attitude of a true viking and is never afraid to go bigger!
