18 year-old Sammy Carlson who graduated high school in June muses over
thoughts atypical to the average teenager. Unlike his peers, images of the
Great Wall of China and the Winter X Games Slopestyle course flood his mind,
along with a hazy nostalgia of flirting with Swedish girls. The 5-foot,
6-inch Carlson lives in Tigard, Oregon, where he grew up chasing his older
brother around Mt. Hood Meadows. During hot summers, Carlson polished his
park skills at Windells Ski Camps, where he now coaches kids himself, a role
he cherishes. The restless young gun’s rise to stardom speaks to his
remarkable skills. With groundbreaking film segments, and an X Games silver
medal, he’s practically a veteran.
