Zach Munro
Biography
Zach Munro started skiing young in Orillia, Ontario, chasing his older brother around Pine Ridge Ski Club and watching ski films on VHS. What began as family time grew into a lasting connection with the culture and creativity around skiing. Today, his involvement in the sport goes beyond riding. Alongside freeskiing, he works as a FIS judge on the World Cup circuit and collaborates on art, film, and media projects. Whether on snow or behind the scenes, Zach approaches skiing through storytelling, creativity, and connection rather than sticking to one lane.
“I’ve been lucky to explore so many different avenues in skiing, from riding and judging to art and storytelling.”– Zach Munro
