Bob Legasa is not only a former US Freestyle Team Member, he’s also the only athlete I’ve ever had on the podcast who’s survived a Grizzly Bear attack.  Those two things alone can make a podcast good, throw in that Dan is known as the most legendary prankster in skiing and this one is great.  On the podcast, we talk about filming for Hot Dog, jumping at the Rose Bowl, Greg Stump, and a lot more.

Joe Johnson has mastered the desk jokey hustle as he's gone from dream job to dream job. While he spends a lot of time at his Salomon desk, he's not chained to it. He's an industry dark man, a behind-the-scenes ideator of some innovative marketing campaigns by some of the biggest resorts and brands out there. On the podcast, we talk about his first passion, basketball, his incredible list of jobs:  tourism, resort, agency, and brand gigs, his near-death fall, and a lot more. It's the first business episode in a while, and Digi Dave Amirault asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Julian Carr is arguably the most interesting person in skiing. Between his gigantic airs that defy what is humanly possible, to his first of its kind in the US trail running events, The Cirque Series, to his Blake’s Bronco project, which landed him a deal with Ford, Julian has made a habit of turning his passions into his life’s work…both personally and professionally. In part 2 of the podcast, we discuss the details behind big air; the 210-footer in Engelberg, Parker Cook, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Julian Carr is one of those people with that calm, cool, and collected demeanor, seemingly all the time. And that’s exactly how Julian wants himself to be when he’s sending the world record cliff drops that he’s made a career out of. But Julian’s story isn’t what you would expect. On the podcast, we talk about his roof jumping club as a 7-year-old, getting into skiing in 8th grade, sports, fraternities, picking the brains of skiing legends, gigantic cliffs, and so much more. It’s another do not miss episode, and Rachael Burks asks the Inappropriate Questions

Derek Taylor once held the most important job in ski media at a time when magazines dominated the media landscape. Derek was Editor in Chief of Powder Magazine, but before that, he was a “ski bum” in Crested Butte right about when Seth Morrison and the US Extremes came to town. In the early days, DT made ends meet by freelance writing for outfits like ESPN The Magazine, The Ski Journal, Freeskier, Outside, Bike Magazine, and more. Then he landed the dream job at Powder. On the podcast, we talk about his journey from college soccer player to dirtbag skier, the early days of Crested Butte, and the rise and fall of Powder Magazine. The Buena Vista Surf Club asks Inappropriate Questions.

Chris Jerard is a mastermind when it comes to building things behind the scenes in the world of sliding on snow. A serial entrepreneur, Chris had a unique inspiration in high school that drove him to pursue his passions instead of opting for a safe law career. On the podcast, we talk about that inspiration, the beginnings of Freeskier Magazine, his perfectly timed pivot to digital, founding start-ups, and his current role as VP of Content Marketing for Outside. It’s a peak behind the curtain of some of the most influential media properties in the business.

Lhotse Merriam Hawk's huge role in organizing the sport of big mountain skiing and beyond cannot be ignored or understated. As the Vice President of the International Freeskiers Association, an organization she helped co-found with Shane McConkey, she was a 1-woman band creating the infrastructure for the future of ski contests outside of what fell under FIS control. And go figure, this year, the crown jewel of big mountain freeride competitions, FIS, purchased the Freeride World Tour. Lhotse helps break down what this means and shares some stories about Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison, Tony Hawk, and more.

Bruce Edgerly or “Edge” as he’s fondly known is one of the only ski entrepreneurs I know to sell his company, get rich, and still be involved in the day-to-day of the business. I haven’t had anyone on the podcast with that type of story and Edge is also the only Ivy League guy I’ve had on the show. But Edge is just a dirtbag kayaker and skier who parlayed the contacts he made while writing for Powder Magazine and Larry Flint into a guerilla marketing machine that would drive the company he and his partner started, BCA, to the forefront of the industry. This is the ski version of the Steve Jobs story…but with a lot more personality. Steve Christie asks Inappropriate Questions, and they are awesome.
