- Elite Competitor Turned Storyteller
- Trusted Voice of Action Sports
- Champion for the Next Generation
Hailing from the prairies of Saskatchewan, Craig McMorris has carved out a unique career as both a world-class snowboarder and one of the sport’s most recognizable voices. Introduced to snowboarding at age 11 and shaped by long road trips with the Saskatchewan Snowboard Team, Craig rose through slopestyle competition to earn a spot on the Canadian National Team in 2012, competing globally before shifting his focus to filming and storytelling. That transition led to standout video parts, including his opening segment in ManBoys, and ultimately to a successful broadcasting career—beginning with CBC and expanding to ESPN and the X Games, where his insight and energy have made him a fan favorite. Now based in Whistler, British Columbia, Craig continues to ride, film, and cover the sport at the highest level, while also co-founding the McMorris Foundation to help get Canadian youth involved in sport.
