ZEAL SKIER
Austin Becker
"Austin Becker is a big mountain skier, podcaster and photographer based out of Colorado. He’s had the itch for skiing since he was two years old. He was a competitive skier for many years until he was in a horrible crash where he broke several vertebrae in his spine in 2016. Though Austin was ultimately physically okay after his crash, he was prescribed opiate painkillers which took him down a terrible path of addiction and years of heartache. In 2018, Austin decided to get his life together, get clean, and get back to doing what he loves most - skiing and photography. He now works to inspire hope in those struggling with mental health and substance abuse disorder and is a living example that a comeback is possible."
"I have been an athlete for Zeal since I was 13 years old and have never looked back. The continued innovation of Zeal products keeps me coming back year after year. Having high-quality eyewear in all my athletic pursuits is crucial!"
