Drew Petersen is a ripping skier who has spent the past few years of his life defining himself beyond the sport. He's used films, public speaking, and social media to shine a light on important conversations regarding mental health and our approach to the issue within our winter sports community, and as a society as a whole. Drew's recent project, "Feel it All" expands on these ideas and gives insight to his perspective and experience dealing with his personal mental health challenges and how they are intertwined with his two biggest passions, skiing and ultrarunning. Drew stopped by The Ski Monster when he was in town for the Salomon QST Film Tour to chat with Garrett, mainly about the film and what drives him to do projects like this.

We're joined in studio by Tom Ritsch during his stop in Boston with the TGR team to premiere their 2023 film. Tom is an Austrian-born freeskier who unexpectedly got the call to shoot with TGR last March. This was Tom’s first time shooting with TGR and he took full advantage of the opportunity and ended up playing a huge role in a banger heli-skiing segment in the new movie.
