TPM Episode 210: Tanner Hall, Ski Boss Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Tanner Hall is a name that needs no introduction to those who know snow. Tanner rose to fame as a little kid in the late 90's, when he started collecting X-Games medals. Nowadays, at 38, Tanner spends his time competing on the Freeride World Tour, filming for his personal projects, and, most recently, shooting for X-Games Real Snow/tearing his achilles. We talk about it all on the podcast…It's another DO NOT MISS episode with another living legend….

TPM Episode 209: Isaac Freeland, 2020 Freeride World Tour Champion Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

The name Isaac Freeland is not one most people know in skiing, which is a shame. Isaac was named 'Rookie of the Year' for the Freeride World Tour in 2020. What's more impressive than that is that he's also the overall Freeride World Tour Champion—Holy Crap!!

TPM Episode 208: Kim Reichhelm, Pro Skier Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Before people were talking about women in skiing, Kim Reichhelm was the woman in skiing. From racing on the US Ski Team, to filming with Greg Stump, to creating the K2 women's program, Kim has been ahead of her time and she's done things in a way that only she can pull off.

TPM Episode 207: Ross Rebagliati, Olympic Gold Medalist, Snowboarding, Weed Guy Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Ross Rebagliati was the first-ever gold medalist in Olympic snowboarding. He was also the first Olympian to have his medal taken away and given back. Instead of being a blessing, the Olympic Medal ended up being a curse for Ross. On the podcast, we talk about how the biggest triumph of his life turned into a series of wrong turns--for a guy who should be a household name. It's an interesting one with an athlete who was wronged, but he's also an athlete who never really helped himself.

TPM Episode 206: Caite Zeliff, Pro Skier Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

Caite Zeliff grew up in a ski town but she wasn't a skier. She was an only child to a single mom; she didn't have the easy life of most of my guests. She found skiing through a school program, found her way into ski racing, and then worked her ass off. She earned scholarships to elite high schools, came close to the US Ski Team, raced in college briefly, got hurt, and gave up on racing forever. With that identity in the past, she's carved out a path in Jackson Hole that has her filming with TGR and Warren Miller. It's a great story.

TPM Episode 201: Bob Klein, OG Pro Snowboarder, Agent Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Bob Klein is one of the rare first wavers of snowboarders that I've had on the podcast. He is that first-generation when everything was being figured out—he was an early Burton team rider, he had a Sessions store, he worked with athletes like Palmer, Holmes, and Cass…He's done so much. We talk about a lot of it on the podcast and it's a snowboard history lesson with a good dude who's not afraid to admit his mistakes. Brad Holmes asks the Inappropriate Questions.
