EPISODE 429: SVEN BRUNSO

Sven Brunso is the most photographed skier in the history of the sport, but he’s a name that most don’t know.  With 140 covers and 2500 pages published, you’ve seen him ski.  In the industry, Sven’s work ethic is a thing of legend.  He’s known for getting out a day early and setting the skin track and then out-researching everyone for the right beta to get the shot.  He’s an animal, and shooting photos is his side hustle.  Sven is a longtime ski marketer with an incredible resume that includes Bula, Purgatory, and Leki. No one works harder than Sven Brunso, and no one is as prolific in front of the lens as him either.  On the podcast, we talk about how 'Blizzard of Aaah’s' changed his life, how Glen Plake helped create his career, always having a plan b, suicide, and so much more.
