  • Alexi Godbout was born to ski instructor parents and was on his way to a pro skier future from a young age. He did the standard, started with ski racing, graduated to moguls, and then got his master's in park skiing. He went from local kid, following new school legend Philou Poirier, to a pro Salomon contract at 14 and a 20+ year pro ski career that, after years of podiums, shifted to the big mountains where he makes his ā€œBlank Collectiveā€ films today. On the podcast, we talk about getting sponsored early, beating Tanner and Henrik at the ISPO Awards, injuries, big mountains, and more. Stan Rey asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • Tommy Moe is an absolute legend. This longtime US Ski Teamer is the only Olympic Downhill gold medalist Iā€™ve had on the podcast. While Part 1 took us through what it took for Tommy to make the US Ski Team and ended with frustration in Albertville, Part 2 is all about the glory. We talk about Olympic Gold and Silver, winning a World Cup, Johnny Moseley, Shane McConkey, the Tordrillo Mountains, and more.

  • Tommy Moe is an absolute legend. This longtime US Ski Teamer is the only Olympic Downhill gold medalist Iā€™ve had on the podcast. But Tommyā€™s life wasnā€™t always destined for glory. Between getting kicked off a ski team, to being put on probation by the US Ski Team, the future wasnā€™t always so promising. In part 1 of the podcast, we talk about ski racing, his issues, moving to Alaska, making the US Ski Team at a young age, the struggles of an athlete on the come up and the Albertville Olympic Games. It is a fun chat, and Tommy's US Ski Team teammate, Reggie Crist, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • Lou Dawson is one of the most accomplished ski mountaineers in the US, but heā€™s so much more than that. While Lou is known for being the first to climb and ski Coloradoā€™s 54 fourteen-thousand-foot peaks, his career included a rock-climbing era, an ice-climbing era, and his mountaineering and ski mountaineering ear. Heā€™s a living legend and is considered to be one of the godfathers of backcountry skiing in the US. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in Texas, moving to Aspen, the counterculture movement, the draft, the mountains, his must-read book, Avalanche Dreams, and much more. Another legendary mountaineer, Andrew McLean, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • Dana Flahr wasnā€™t born to be the big mountain slayer he worked so hard to become. Growing up in a single-mom household, things were a struggle, but one thing Danaā€™s mom figured out was how to get him on the mountain and from there his passion took over. Moving to Whistler at 17, Dana didnā€™t party; he skied daily, honing his big mountain skills in the winter and building his trick vocabulary in the summer. That combination got him a tryout with TGR, where he sent it harder than almost anyone in their movies then. Over the years, heā€™s won Powder Awards, earned the respect of the best in the business, and banged out video jaw-dropping TGR segments and more each season. Eventually, burnout got the best of Dana, and he disappeared. We talk about it all and more on the podcast. Ian Macintosh asks the Inappropriate Questions. and that turned into Powder Awards

  • Gordi Eaton is a legend in the ski industry, and while many people donā€™t know his name, because he was born in 1939, heā€™s had a huge impact in the development of modern ski technology. Before he was involved in helping to bring sidecut, shape, top shape, rocker, and so much more tech to the table, Gordi was an Olympian on the first Bob Beattie-created US Ski Teams that featured athletes like Bill Marolt and Buddy Werner. Then, after coaching at the highest level, Gordi became K2ā€™s Race Director, a sales rep, and more. On the podcast, we discuss coming up with no grooming or releasable bindings, putting the Mahre Brothers on K2, and his history with George Torme and Bode Miller. This oneā€™s a history lesson that needs to be told.

  • Alexandra Armstong, better known as Army, has had one of the longest runways to making her pro skier dreams come true of any athlete Iā€™ve had on the show. She has done every job in the industry, from working the shop floor to coaching, patrolling, flow riding to pro, and sheā€™s dirtbagged it most of her way to the top. While she didnā€™t get paid to ski for cameras until she was 27, Army is making the most of her time in the spotlight filming with outfits like the Blank Collective and Teton Gravity Research. As a special bonus, we get Alexā€™s sock sponsor and new Powell Movement sponsor, Josh Hall, the founder of Dissent Labs, to talk about Whistler in the early 90s, founding a sock brand. Then Josh asks inappropriate questions provided by Blankā€™s Alexi Godbout and Emily Childs from The Blondes.

  • Johnny Decesare helped usher in the ā€œnew schoolā€ movement of skiing by showcasing the talents of The New Canadian Air Force in his Poor Boyz Productions films.

  • Johnny Decesare is the legendary ski filmmaker who helped usher in the new school movement of skiing through his groundbreaking media house, Poor Boyz Productions. While Johnny spent his early life surfing in Southern California, ABC's Wide World of Sports inspired him to want to become a skier. These days, Johnny is a fixture behind the lens for the WSL, but when he was in his athletic prime, Johnny was a Pro Mogul skier alongside Shane McConkey, Scott Kauf, and so many more.

  • Riley Poor landed his dream job, filming backcountry skiers with MSP. His life was a dream, and eventually, he moved on to shoot with Standard Films as a skier, spearheaded a two-year Red Bull project, all while simultaneously managing ski athletes at Nike. He was killing life until a gainer gone wrong at a party created a life-altering injury. On the podcast we talk about moving to Crested Butte, Seth Morrison, the Matchstick mentorship, the accident, and the aftermath.

  • Lindsey Jacobellis was the darling of the 2022 Olympic Games with her double gold performance. But while Lindsey has always been a podium threat (sheā€™s a 10x X-Games Gold Medalist) when she crashed and took silver at the 2006 Olympic Games, the world made her a villain and now, almost 20 years later, she finally has that Olympic Gold. This episode is all about Lindseyā€™s incredible redemption story, and we talk about her upbringing, Palmer, the Olympic blunder, winning, and so much more.

  • Alex Beaulieu-Marchand wasnā€™t born to be an Olympian. He was one of those core super-grom kids who skied the streets with his older friends. While other future Olympians were focused on adding rotations, ABM was focused on mastering rails, which would become his secret weapon. Through a random series of events, ABM found his way on to the Dew Tour and from there, the contest opened for the kid who liked skiing the streets. On the podcast, we talk urban, contests, not having a win-at-all-costs mentality, and a lot more. Alexi Godbout asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • Inappropriate Questions is how I close out every podcast and it has become a fan favorite. I get someone my guest knows well to ask their friend 3 questions and they can be anything, the more inappropriate the better.

  • Rick Thorne is a BMX legend and the grind that he put in to achieve legendary status is why I do these podcasts. Rick wasnā€™t born with a silver spoon in his mouth in a nice ski town. He grew up with a single mom, a sister, and the support of the infamous Kansas City bike crew, The BMX Brigade, led by Dennis McCoy. Through DMC, Rick saw a pathway to success, and, while it took a decade of grinding to make it happen for himself, Rick made it on his bike and headed west to the land of opportunity. The rest of the story is a total rollercoaster. On the podcast, we talk about the University of Olive Garden, the Hoffman influence, TV work, his band, and so much more.

  • Luke Edgar has had a legendary career in building lifestyle brands and keeping them not only relevant but in demand. What makes Lukeā€™s story so wild is that while his history goes back to the early days of snowboarding, the reason he pursued a career in ā€œaction sportsā€ is because he learned to surf while he was in the army. And when he got out, his life revolved around snowboarding when the sport was in its infancy in the PNW. On the podcast we talk about the early PNW snowboard scene, modeling, Craig Kelly, trade shows, getting sponsored, K2 and so much more. John Oā€™Connor asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • Tommy Czeschin was born into a life of mountains and lakes, so itā€™s no surprise that he loves snowboarding and water sports-but whatā€™s shocking is that he was able to go pro in both. Not too bad for the quiet kid with talent who started ski racing and was the forerunner for the Jr Olympics before seeing snowboarding and making the switch. Within 5 years, he was traveling the world with the US Snowboard Team, standing on the top of World Cup podiums, winning X Games medals, and eventually making the 2002 Olympic Team. After his snowboarding, he was an early adopter of wake surfing and these days, he gets paid to ride behind a boat among other things. Itā€™s kind of like Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, or a Shaun White-type story, only different. Don Wallace asks the ā€œInappropriate Questionsā€

  • Red Gerard has won every slopestyle event out there: The Olympics, X Games, Dew Tour, World Cups, Grand Prix, you get the idea and Red is only 23 years old. While his life will be defined by his Olympic Gold, Redā€™s snowboarding career isnā€™t all about contests. Heā€™s just as comfortable taking his trick vocabulary to the backcountry and laying it down for his film segments. The beauty of Red is that while heā€™s young, heā€™s also kind of throwback. A kid who takes pride in competing, filming, and having a good time off the hillā€¦On the podcast we talk about coming up in a big family, snowboarding, getting screwed by judges, sponsorship, contests and so much more.
