Pro Skier Sean Pettit’s career started with a move from Quebec to Whistler. From there, he became a child prodigy, the freeride kid who could do anything on his skis. We pick up our conversation from 2016 (I include 10 minutes of our old conversation for background) and talk about his focus from skiing to snowboarding, injury, his lifestyle clothing brand and more.
