Seth Morrison is my final and my most important podcast guest over the past 10 years. Welcome to episode 500 where Seth answers the questions we all want to know regarding his progression, his relationships with people like McConkey, his prolific pro career, the "cowardly" way he describes it ending, and a lot more. It's the last podcast with the legend, the myth, the ghost, the icon that is Seth Morrison. And, legends and Ski Hall of Famers Kent Kreitler, Chris Davenport, Mike Douglas, and Brad Holmes ask the Inappropriate Questions and snowboard legend Jeremy Jones makes a guest appearance.

Seth Morrison is the ski icon that I wanted to launch this podcast with 10 years ago, but Seth doesn't do interviews. He told me no for 3 years and I stopped bothering him. I gave it one last shot a few months ago and Seth said yes! Now, I'm able to end the 500-episode run of The Powell Movement with my favorite, every pro's favorite, every fan's favorite, and every industry person's favorite pro skier, Seth Morrison. This is the Sid Vicious looking ski pioneer that brought high consequence tricks to the backcountry, went bigger than everyone, and got the loudest cheers at all the movie premieres. In part one we talk about the early days and Pep Fujas, Lhotse Merriam Hawk, and Mike Jaquet ask the Inappropriate Questions.

Rory Bushfield is one of my favorite skiers/personalities, and I loved parts 1 and two of his podcast so much that I had to record a third time with Bushy Wayne before I close out the Powell Movement. Rory and I have already talked about a lot of important skiing history. Since we last recorded, Rory went viral with a Monster funded aviation stunt, and then he had a life altering accident that changed everything. While accepting life in a new body could crush some, Bushy still has that "blow it if you got it" mentality and he's already pushing the limits of what's possible in his new existence. On the podcast we talk about Bushland, death, grief, flying, the accident, and a whole lot more. Roy Tuscany asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Rory Bushfield Show Notes:

3:00: Shane Szocs, death, 9 lives, pushing people to their limits, Danny Trejo, and Bushyland
