Daron Rahlves is the greatest American Downhiller of all time. He’s an Olympian that owns X-Games gold and is the only American to ever win the most important race in the world, the Hahnenkamm Downhill at Kitzbühel. Daron has done so much in his life and in part 1 of Daron’s podcast we talk about growing up with opportunity, how his dad was hard on him, jet skiing, skiing, boarding school, The US Ski Team, Rossignol, Atomic and more…So much good stuff in here.

James Woods is an X Games gold medalist that hails from England. Let that sit in for a second. Growing up in Sheffield, , Woodsy, as he’s known, learned how to shred on carpets that resembled tooth brushes more than they did snow…That never slowed him down as he’s proved himself on every level of the sport and has had an impressive career. This is a fun one with one of the only personalities in contest skiing today.

Dan Egan is a legendary skier who doesn’t get the credit or press he deserves. Dan filmed countless movies with his brother as part of the “Egan Brothers” who stole the show at Warren Miller Moves of the late 80s and early 90’s. Before other “film” skiers were getting paid, Dan acted as athlete, agent and distributor, cashing in on all ends and really being a trailblazer for the non-traditional skier. Not many have done it like Dan Egan.

Kimberly Plake has been a part of the ski industry for the past 40 years and she’s never done an in depth interview. Yes, her husband Glen Plake gets all the notoriety but pretty much wherever Glen goes, Kimberly is by his side but she is not just arm candy. Yes, she is good looking, a Texas Beauty Queen and former model, but she was a skier before she met Glen and now they ski together, forever. The podcast is a cool look into Kimberly’s life and some things I’ve talked about with Glen…but from a different lens. Brad Holmes asks the “Inappropriate Questions” and it’s another good one.
