John Collinson, 16, has grown up in Little Cottonwood Canyon, he attended the Alta School when it was housed in Our Lady of the Snows with his mother as the teacher and his sister, Angel, as a classmate. His father, Jimmy, is the assistant director Snow Safety at Snowbird Ski Area. The family has and currently resides at Snow each of the seven continents).
John Collinson life has been spent in the mountains, winter and summer. He was on skis at 2 1/2, and at the age of 4 he summitted Mt. Rainier. He has gone on to climb 200 large western mountains, which on many he holds the youngest age record. For John, summiting Mt. Everest is something he has only dreamt of. Climbing to the top of the Seven Summits seems like it would be the greatest physical feat he could accomplish.
