Some Famous People called Glen Plake

Glen Plake

Glen Plake (born September 9, 1964) is a US National Ski Hall of Fame skier. He grew up in Lake Tahoe, skiing Heavenly Valley. He is known for his appearances in ski films such as Greg Stump's The Blizzard of Aahhhs, and for his trademark often dyed Mohawk hairstyle. Plake has been named a pioneer of extreme skiing in America by ESPN. Glen has been the award-winning host of RSN program Reel Thrills.

According to his official biography:

"... it was his third-grade teacher who used a Möbius flip from the seminal film Ski the Outer Limits (1969) as a way of demonstrating math that turned his life. For Glen, there fell into place a connection between skiing and the wider world, an understanding that there were deeper forces beneath this sliding on snow. In that brief flash of insight, Plake knew that skiing held something greater for him."

Glen Plake married his wife Kimberly in 1991. He is also related to Hunter & Dakota Plake with "Plake", the brother pop duo from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
