Palmer Hoyt represents skiing. As a
collegiate freestyle coach, he won 5 national championships. He
is an internationally published ski athlete, and is respected throughout the skiing world
for his influence and enthusiasm.
Despite his success, Palmer Hoyt’s skiing journey began with a massive mountain to climb.
At the age of 22, Hoyt suffered a serious accident while driving to ski training. The resulting head injury ended his competitive skiing career. But, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of defeat, Hoyt overcame the challenges of a disability and rebounded.
When cognitive difficulties forced him to redevelop life-skills, Hoyt relied on the sport of skiing as his source of guidance and teaching. By simplifying difficulties, he streamlined his recovery. The injury provided both the obstacle and opportunity for Hoyt to develop a new approach to learning skiing technique.
The skiing simplification methods Hoyt developed for his rehabilitation became his secret to sharing the sport with others.
Palmer Hoyt wields a captivating personal story of battling through the depths
of adversity to overcome challenge.

Behind the Shots with JackAffleckVail Resorts' corporate photographer has a pretty sweet job- when it dumps, he'stasked with documenting all the snow. That means he spends his days surroundedby pro skiers, endless amounts of powder, and he always gets first chair. We askedhim about what comes together to create his favorite shots.

Snow DunesThis shot was taken from the chairlift on Grouse Mountain at Beaver Creek Resort. Wind had blown so hard the day before that they shut Grouse down, whileit snowed 18 inches, and the snow was capped with drifts. A tough surface to ski, but also it left waves on the surface similar to sand dunes. Pro Skier PalmerHoyt ripped down under the chair as I downloaded the first run of the day. Skiers were all around us, but we managed to nail this sequence without anyonepoaching Palmer's line. Extensive post production was required to smooth the surface.

Value.Palmer does not confine himself to one type
of skiing or a singular view of the sport. Rather, he is dynamic, and it shows in the work he produces.
On the slopes, Palmer’s special art is bringing creativity to the mountain. Whether freeriding in the backcountry, perfecting new moves in the park, or pioneering long, steep lines way up high, Palmer charges while pushing the limits. Off the mountain, Palmer is effective at initiating, and supporting skiing-related projects and sustainable business partnerships.
Palmer works with high profile companies and professionals in and out of the ski industry. He is relied on for his commitment to making things happen.
Palmer Hoyt is out there - working hard, and determined to do more. He is fun to work with, and most importantly, produces results.
