Pete Bonifay described his son Parks as fearless. He should know. When Parks was just six months old, Pete strapped skis on his son and watched him go.

The son of two show skiers, Bonifay was given the training grounds, tools and mentorship to develop his skills. Not only did he learn to ride big air, but he gleaned more from Pete and Betty Bonifay than just the foundation for a championship career, he gained compassion and the drive to flourish.
