Taylor Seaton, also known as “T-Sizzle,” grew up in Colorado and began skiing at age 2. The stylish halfpipe skier has been competing for years but is coming off what could be considered his best season yet. Seaton landed on several podiums during the 2016/17 campaign and ended the year ranked No. 4 in the AFP halfpipe standings.

He also has some insight into the intricacies of what the judges are looking for, as he obtained a freeski judging certificate in 2015.
