Greg Stump

Greg Stump is an American champion skier, ski and snowboarding filmmaker, and music video director.

Born in San Diego, his family then moved to Maine where Greg learned to ski at nearby Shawnee Peak. He was the U.S. national junior freestyle champion in 1978. In 1979 he won the North American Freestyle Championships at Edelweiss Valley in Quebec, Canada. He spent two years on the professional freestyle circuit. He was a skier in films made by Dick Barrymore, particularly Vagabond Skier shot in New Zealand in 1979. That was Barrymore's last ski film and Greg Stump went on to appear in two ski films by Warren Miller.

In 1983 Greg Stump began to make his own ski films. There were several aspects of these films that set them apart from previous ski movies. First, the sound tracks, and in particular the use of music of artists signed to the ZTT Records label. Second the narrative style of Greg Stump. Third the use of snowboarders in a skiing film.

In 1991 Greg Stump made a series for Fox television "Greg Stump's World of Extremes". A notable episode of that series was Ace Mackay-Smith Ski Bum 1992

In 1999 Greg Stump was honored by Skiing magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential people in skiing of all time, and named to the Maine Ski Hall of Fame in 2005.

Subsequently, Greg Stump has moved away from making skiing movies, and has become involved in making commercials, and music videos.
