Mark and Craig McMorris have gone from the flatlands around Regina to some of the tallest mountains around. And in November, the brothers will reach a new high as their show McMorris and McMorris premieres on MTV Canada. “I am very excited. We met with Red Bull Media House … over a year ago and pitched the idea,” said Craig, the older McMorris. “Now that we’ve filmed all eight episodes, it’s pretty crazy and I can’t wait for it to go live.” The premise follows Mark and Craig as they head off to different coun-
tries and continents, hanging out with friends while going through the rigours of competitive snowboarding. “Usually when you’re travelling for snowboarding, people only see the one run, they don’t see all the behind-the-scenes stuff,” said Craig. The locations include Aspen, Colorado for the Ex Games and Cancun, Mexico for spring break. “We try to keep a really nice balance of staying competitive, staying sharp and staying in shape, but also having a little bit of fun,” he said. Both brothers have made big names for themselves, as Craig has boarded on the Canadian national team and Mark has won high-profile contests. Craig said the series is a great opportunity to demonstrate their skills and represent their hometown. “We get to show the world this is our home, this is what can come out of Saskatchewan and it’s one of the most beautiful places on the Earth,” he said. McMorris and McMorris premieres Friday, Nov. 1 at 9 p.m. EST.
