Cheers to 27-year-old Kiwi skier Craig Murray who took home the crown as GoPro Line of the Winter Men’s Ski Winner and walked away with $15,000 for his efforts. Its fascinating to the professional skier pull out his phone while sitting on the top of an Alaskan mountain and reference meticulous notes on the different features he is about to tackle. After a quick refresher, Murray point his skis down this massive line and executed a series of high speed tricks that will leave your jaw on the floor. Well done Craig!
