From humble beginnings cutting his teeth in the most unlikely of locations to produce a snowboarder, Regina, Saskatchewan, Mark McMorris has climbed the ladder to become one of the most decorated athletes in snowboarding history. The count goes something like this: three Olympic medals in Slopestyle, 24 X Games medals and four Burton US Open wins.
His 24 X Games medals, three of which he earned during the 2019-2020 season, make him the winningest Winter X Games athlete of all time, ahead of Shaun White’s seventeen medals.
