223 Sammy Carlson / Yu Sasaki - PART 1 Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Sammy Carlson and Yu Sasaki have been skiing and filming together in their adopted home town of Revelstoke for the last couple years. We all met up at Sammy's log cabin in the woods to record a mega episode. This is part 1. Yu tells us about originally moving to Whistler when he graduated highschool and working in a sushi restaurant because that was one of the only jobs for a non- english speaking Japanese skier to find. He decided that Canada was where he wanted to stay and got married, had kids and started a successful food truck business all while competiing on the Freeride World Tour. Sammy tells us about his terrific new film, "YUP", how the soundtrack came together, how the two started to ski with each other and lots, lots more.

Co-founded by our guests Hedvig Wessel and Fanny Avril, alongside Leanne Pelosi and Lexi Dupont, the inaugural event is the start of something which has been needed for a long time. Inspired by, "Formation", an event within the mountain bike industry, the Sister Summit is a place for women in the snow sports to collaborate and learn. With elements of business and health as the focus, with a huge dose riding included, Sister Summit it far more of an event. It's a movement.

217 Shannon Corsi - Nexus Film Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Shannon Corsi is the Executive Producer and Director of this season's most talked about ski film, Nexus. Nexus is a narritive driven project featuring four specific stories of women in the ski industry. The overwhelming majority of cinematographers, photographers and editors working on Nexus were female. Who better to tell women's stories than female creatives?

Shannon tells us how she, as a relative outsider to the ski industry, managed to raise a tonne of money, curate a handful of intriguing stories and create one of the most relatable, the most needed and one of the best films of the year. The answer is "Unhinged Confidence".
