Forster Meeks

Forster Meeks is a road-warrior ski missionary living for street creativity and powder adventuring. Originating in Lake Forest, Illinois, he dropped out of traditional paths to pursue a nomadic lifestyle—working in vineyards during the off-season and skiing upwards of 200 days a year. He gained recognition in Utah and Mount Hood communities as part of The Hood Crew, known for his raw yet refined style, technical rail hits, and fearless terrain innovation.

A favorite of ON3P Skis, Meeks has featured prominently in the brand’s films and projects, including his own video edits like Meekstape Vol II and Summer of the Cap. Despite multiple ACL injuries, his gritty resilience and creative vision have kept him at the forefront of ski subculture. More recently, he combines his love for skiing with winemaking—launching Model Citizen Wines in Napa —bridging his two passions into a unique lifestyle.
