Pablo
Ruiz Seco

Pablo lives in Reinosa, Cantabria, a small powder paradise in the north of Spain. He's been shredding the slopes since he was 14, carving his way through all types of snow adventures – from backcountry powder hunting to gnarly alpine descents, tree skiing, and even the occasional snowpark session when he's feeling fancy. These days, Pablo's heart belongs to the steep and deep.

As a certified UIAGM mountain guide (that's fancy-talk for 'guy who won't get you killed in the mountains'), Pablo has face-planted in snow across Europe – Italy, Austria, France, the UK, and Slovenia. He's conquered legendary peaks in the Alps, including Cervino, Aiguille Verte, and Aiguille de Argentiere, often taking the 'scenic route' down (because chairlifts are for tourists). His skis have carved fresh tracks through the Dolomites and Picos de Europa, including epic descents off routes like Comici en la Cima Grande de Lavaredo and the east face of Naranjo de Bulnes.

When he's not setting speed records or guiding nervous first-timers down bunny slopes, Pablo enjoys some casual park sessions – his idea of 'relaxing' is hitting kickers that would send most of us to the hospital. Last season, he was spotted throwing down tricks at Spain's premier resorts that made the youngsters question their life choices. And when not making snow angels (unintentionally, after catching an edge), you'll find Pablo guiding ski tours around the Pyrenees, probably telling dad jokes about 'going downhill in life' while ascending 3,000-meter peaks.
