Biography
Marco Ladner has never believed in picking one lane. He likes options, powder in the morning, fast groomers, park laps, then a long ride home as the sun drops. That mix is what keeps skiing interesting for him and it is how he has always approached the mountains. His path has not been linear. He moved between skis and snowboard before freeride films pulled him fully back to skiing. After years competing at the highest level, including the Olympic Games and World Championships, he stepped away from contests but never away from the sport. Now the focus is on sharing the stoke, creating videos, and building ideas that bring people together on snow, whatever their level.
