In October 2018, Jim Morrison and TNF teammate Hilaree Nelson became the first people to ski from the 27,940-foot summit of Lhotse, the fourth-highest mountain in the world. Their 7,000-vertical-foot ski line down the Lhoste Couloir is considered one of the most aesthetic descents among the world’s tallest mountains. In May 2018, Morrison summited Cho Oyu and Mount Everest in the Himalaya. He skied a combined 11,000 vertical feet on both mountains, including a 7,000-foot line down Cho Oyu. Based in Tahoe City, California, Morrison has spent his entire life skiing and climbing in the Sierra Nevada. Known for his big heart and big engine, he quietly excels in most feats he attempts, whether it’s an Ironman triathlon or climbing El Capitan in Yosemite, all while running his own custom home construction business. Morrison was named 2018 Nat Geo Adventurer of the Year.
