A lot of kids raised a stone's throw from Whistler are out on the slopes from an early age and ripping up backcountry before most of us have got the training wheels off our bikes. Not all of them, though, end up topping podiums on the Freeride World Tour. So, what gave Logan Pehota the edge? Well, it can't have hurt that his father is big mountain pioneer Eric Pehota.
After a childhood covering all the bases – from alpine racing to halfpipe to slopestyle – Logan's talent for big lines saw him emerge as a talented freeride competitor. His first win on the Freeride World Tour circuit came in Haines, Alaska, back in 2016 and he's landed on the podium plenty of times since, including a 'home' win at Kicking Horse in 2018.
