Growing up in the mountains of Clear Creek County, Colorado, professional skier and musician Mark Morris started skiing at age 2 and learned the fundamentals of ski racing at Loveland Ski Area. He quickly changed his focus from racing to backcountry skiing at age 13 after his first helicopter skiing trip to Valdez, Alaska. After high school, Mark moved to Crested Butte, Colorado, where he continued to learn the important balance of pushing personal limits while respecting backcountry safety. Today, Mark has the pleasure of traveling the world year-round, both as a skier and as a musician, in pursuit of promoting life, happiness, and good times. Mark's music with the band Rapidgrass embodies the notion that nature, and particularly mountains, can bring out the best in our art, and we have dedicated much of our creative energy into bringing that art back to the people of the mountains. Focusing on travel to mountain towns, Rapidgrass inspires mountain people and athletes around the globe. The full-time lineup includes Mark Morris (guitar, lead vocals), Charlie Parker Mertens (upright bass), Coleman Smith (violin), and Alex Johnstone (mandolin, vocals). This Colorado ensemble uses classical, gypsy, bluegrass, pop, swing, and other world rhythms to create what is, and can only be described of as, Rapidgrass. Tune in as Mark Morris joins Bobby Marshall to perform in-studio and discuss music, skiing, world travels, Colorado, outdoor therapy, mountain life, and so much more.
