EPISODE 209: ISAAC FREELAND
/The name Isaac Freeland is not one most people know in skiing, which is a shame. Isaac was named ‘Rookie of the Year’ for the Freeride World Tour in 2020. What’s more impressive than that is that he’s also the overall Freeride World Tour Champion—Holy Crap!! And, between almost not making the tour on his last attempt, his allergies, being an only child, ski racing, and more, it makes for an awesome listen.
