Kaya Turski grew up in Montreal and was the little rollerblader who was blowing everyone's collective minds. While Kaya went ASA Pro at 14, she was known for being a gnarly street skater. One of the best women to ever do it. But the bottom dropped out of skating, Kaya decided to give skiing a try and within a year, she was standing on her first X-Games podium in a sport that wasn't her original calling. From there, Kaya went on to dominate competition skiing. Think 8 X Games Golds, 5 AFP Titles and so many more victories to boot. But her story is not all sunshine, the years of abuse has taken its toll on her body and mind and Kaya and I talk about all the glory but we also talk about the daily pain that is her reality. It's an interesting talk with a legend and Ashley Battersby asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Cody Cirillo started his ski career competing on the AFP pro circuit, but huge podiums weren't in Cody's future, graduating from USC magna cum laude all while transitioning his pro ski career from contests to adventure, was the path for Cody.

Nick Goepper has 2 Olympic Silver and 1 Olympic Bronze in his closet and this year, in a totally new discipline, Nick is aiming to take his first gold medal home at the Milan Cortina Olympic Games. What's crazy is that 3 years ago, when Nick came out of retirement and told the world he was gunning for halfpipe gold, a lot of us thought it was a publicity stunt. But Nick knew exactly what he was doing and now, he's one of the front runners for gold. Nick's whole life has been an underdog story and time and again and time and again and time and again and now a 4th time and again, Nick is off to compete on the biggest stage in the world. It's part 3 with a guy who used to be my least favorite comp skier, who then became my favorite skier. Steve Stepp asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Angel Collinson kicks off season 10 of the podcast and it's a good one. When Angel was last on the show, she was coming off a "Line of the Year" season and was on the top of the ski world. What I, and a lot of people didn't realize, was that Angel wasn't as passionate about skiing as the world thought she was. Eventually burnout got the best of her and Angel shocked the ski world when she retired in her prime and sailed off into the sunset. We talk about it all and her brother, another incredible athlete and human, John Collinson, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Sid Pattison is a heli ski guide, an Everest veteran, and an all around badass, but what makes Sid different is who he is. Sid has the rare combination of a magnetic personality that lights up any situation, along with the ability to connect with every person he comes across, from the janitor to the CEO. These unique human skills, combined with his beast-like ability in the field, has created a fast lane in life that's allowed Sid to leapfrog past more accomplished peers. He's skip some traditional steps on his way to things like guiding Everest to his upcoming buy into North Cascade Heli Ski but he doesnt cut corners. While nothing that Sid does is traditional, it's always memorable and it eventually works out. This is a fun one

Sid Pattison Show Notes:

Seattle and Jackson Hole are the focus of this different Christmas episode. In Seattle, I checked out "The Common Line" snowboard event (which was incredible!!) and I talked to a few legends who stand sideways. After that, I caught up with skier and recent avalanche survivor, Adam U, before he played a punk rock show with his band Krontonamo. A couple days later, I traveled to Jackson Hole with the Outside Life crew to emcee an event and while I was there, I caught up with some more forward-facing legends. It's a different episode that I think you'll like.

Andrew Pollard is one of those kids that grew up at Alta and had the mountain as his babysitter/playground. And while it took Andrew a little longer to become a name in the ski industry--compared to his pro skier friends and classmates, Andrew eventually made it to the top. But what's different and cool about Andrew's story is that he's not just a skier; he's also, an artist, a DJ, freeride coach, and in the podcast, he has no filter. All of this makes for a fun episode and Andrew's little sister Jackie asks the Inappropriate Questions.
