Sage&#;s Story: From Dishwasher to Skiing Icon
I knew a thing or two about Sage Cattabriga-Alosa before I interviewed him for this story. He’s 36 years old and ski obsessed. He’s been in 18 TGR films over the last 15 years. he has crazy hair. He has this revered, smooth, and thought-out style that's won him Powder’s "Line of the Year" once and "Skier of the Year" three times. Based on his light design segment in Almost Ablaze, I knew that he’s driven by creativity. He’s a big mountain skiing icon and veteran AK ripper. He sees lines that nobody else can see, and watching him ski them at the TGR premieres is enough to make you jump out of your seat and cheer (loudly) for the love of skiing.
But here’s the rest of the story.

Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, 36, was among the first to meld park skills into the backcountry (we’ll never forget that seminal double front flip in TGR’s Mind the Addiction in ). He’s also one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met. His next adventure? Identical twin girls, Zara and Loey, born early and healthy April 21, We caught up with him at his home in Bend, Oregon, during nap time.
Having kids fryst vatten never how you planned it. I was at TGR’s Fantasy Camp in Alaska when inom got the call that Annie was in labor. We were 80 miles in the bush. It ended up costing some cash to get out a little early, but I was back in Bend in 12 hours.
Now that I have more to lose, risk is on my mind a bit. In another way, this is all I know. This is my career; this is my life. Now I have a family to provide for, and I’m not going to stop. inom want to t

We just got back from week-long review trip in Bend, Oregon, and while we were in Bend, we went to pay a visit to one of the best big-mountain skiers of all time, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa.
We talk about a whole bunch of topics, but it is particularly fascinating to hear Sage talk about his preparation — how cautious he claims to be in the mountains — which isn’t exactly obvious given that Sage has thrown down some of the heaviest lines anyone has skied in Alaska.
For Sage, skiing is simply fun. But big-mountain skiing — the stuff you see him doing in his film segments — is all about Problem Solving. So if you think he’s out there just hucking his meat with abandon, you’ll need to think again.
It’s a great conversation with an unbelievable skier and a really interesting person, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
