2021 is off to a grand start, come see what went down last week.
I would like to introduce my latest project, Alpenglow Ski Academy. I have been working on creating an online coaching platform that is both affordable and accessible to all.
Roy Tuscany had dreams of being a pro skier and that dream came true, but what he became after breaking his back is actually so much more incredible! I speak to the Founder of the High Fives Fives Foundation about his life before and after that fateful crash and the silver-lining for him and countless other survivors.
Paddy Graham joins the LPP to talk about Legs of Steel's awesome short film "Action Men" as well as his experiment with a 30 day yoga challenge. That's not all so tune in or at least click to look at some nice pictures.
EDollo himself dropped in to Newschoolers' Ski Gabber to answer questions from our members, here's what he had to say.
Cassie Sharpe: Hilariously competitive, a meticulous planner, and thrives when surrounded by people. Good news: these are qualities that have proved to be beneficial as an athlete of her caliber. Bad news: these qualities could also almost guarantee a bad time navigating a world where access to her sport, travel schedule, and people is denied. Enter 2020.
Howdy
Chris Benchetler returns to talk about fatherhood, his Grateful Dead collabs, his art and business ventures and how he still fits his unmistakeable style of skiing into the equation.
Coline Ballet-Baz' new film SKIVAS has just raised the bar. She gathered together a solid posse for this all female ski flick that has epic big mountain lines, a gnarly urban segment and a super fun pow segment. She talks about the process and challenges of making the movie, her humanitarian work, Protect Our Winters and much more.
Nick McNutt came on the podcast last week. Nick got caught in an slide that took him out and buried him 5 feet under the surface. He got extremely lucky and was found by a probe strike by one of his riding partners. One of the main points of conversation following that event has been the failure of his Pieps Avalanche Transceiver. Listen in as Nick describes that issue, the accident, and more.
Colby Stevenson was having a dream season and then Corona struck!
This wasn't the first time Colby had to press pause on his ski career though.
Comebacks, Covid, competitions and even Tanner V Simon are discussed in the Colby Stevenson Interview
Magnus Graner is here to talk about the multiple award winning, yet to be released, "Is There Time for Matching Socks". He tells us the origin story of the Bunch at an X-Men style Space School in Northern Sweden and how they are committed to reducing their environmental footprint. On the LPP Magus is also announcing his partnership with Wells Lamont Snow!
Get to know Hunter Hess. He's on the LPP to hype MAGMA II, his latest project with Alex Hall.
The 28-year-old Forster Meeks has been putting out his own personal taste of controlled chaos in the streets during the winter and Mt. Hood in the summer for years. The everso unpretentious Meeks took the chance to sit down and chat about his knee injury, trick selection, his new edit, Summer of the Cap, and what the future has in store for him.
As many parks across the state's decline, some parks are doing a hell of a lot with very little. I had the opportunity to interview Matt Dunn, the park manager of one of the sickest up and coming parks in the midwest about what goes into building a rad park, how parks have changed, and future plans for Pine Knob. If you see these pictures and felt jealous like I did, maybe send this article over to your park crew or mountain and show them how much can be done for so little.
After 10 years comp skiing, and spending a year off healing from injury, Torin Yater Wallace has chosen to Deviate from his current path. He's here to talk about his new backcountry film project, DEVIATE, filmed with Jossi Wells.
Like all great explorations, this one began on a whim. "Siggi has given us Aurora in March to help bring the 60ft sailboat to Greenland and scout for future ski trips!" We assembled our crew, tuned up the skis, and set out to sail from Iceland to Greenland in search of boat access backcountry line.
