Chris Anthony is a Colorado native and long-time Vail resident. When not busy traveling the globe with the Warren Miller Team, Chris heads up specialized camps through "Chris Anthony Adventures" in Cordova Alaska, Italy, Silverton and Vail and serves as co-host at the "Camp of Superstars" in Portillo, Chile with Chris Davenport and "Davenport Sports".

For the last 16 years Anthony has traveled as a member of the Warren Miller Film Team, freelanced for several publications and hosted and produced television programming. In 1991 Chris was honored by being named Ambassador for the State of Colorado, a title he carried with him during a goodwill mission to the Prefecture of Yamagata in Japan. More recently Chris spent time with the US Navy by visiting the USS Nimitz and speaking with the enlisted men and women a couple months prior to going on deployment. He later returned to film a segment for the upcoming Film "Higher Ground"

On snow since the age of one, Chris broke away from skiing long enough to reach international ranks in the cycling world, receive a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Colorado and write two screenplays. These accomplishments opened many exciting doors for Chris. In 1994 he found himself training with and serving as motivational guide to three-time Tour De France Champion Greg Lemond. He also had the opportunity to work with director, producer, actor Michael Douglas. Chris worked with Douglas and partner Steven Reuther as they laid the groundwork for Douglas / Reuther Productions, a major film production company at Paramount Studios.

In 1997 Chris was appointed to the Colorado Speakers Bureau. In October of 1998 Chris was hired to design, direct and select athletes for a nationally syndicated Skiercross race. The inaugural event took place successfully in Mammoth, California on January 9th 1999.

This season Chris has continued working with Warren Miller Entertainment, promoting and serving as emcee for the 56th addition of their annual film as well as appearing in the new television series, "Warren Miller's Global Adventure".

Chris also serves as spokesperson for the "5th Grade Passport Program", a product of Colorado Ski Country. His obligations include touring the Colorado school system and speaking to elementary school children about setting goals and achieving dreams.

Presently, Chris continues to conquer new terrain in the backcountry while becoming more familiar with the old. This is a lifestyle he shares with the world by passing on innovative ideas as a heli guide, journalist and motivational speaker. Chris also enjoys volunteering for "First Descents" Kayak Camps for Cancer Survivors, The Jimmie Heuga Center for MS and the Christopher Reeves Foundation for Spinal Injury.
