Dale Rehberg is a living legend in the snowboard world. In the early 90’s he, and a few other legendary names, brought a style to snowboarding that was visibly influenced by skateboarding. While not accepted at first, it quickly became the norm and Dale’s fingerprints will forever be tied to the evolution of the sport. But Dale’s snow story doesn’t stop with being an athlete and we talk about his time on the board, in the boardroom and everything in between.

Jen Hudak spent the better part of the past decade standing on podiums, hoping to make it to the Olympics and fighting for equality in skiing. And while her life has transitioned to life coaching and desk work, Jen is still involved in the skiing as an ESPN analyst who als represents one of the few female voices found in the meetings and on the air at the X-Games. We talk about the lack of women’s tv coverage, how her fight can continue and her successful, injury plagued career.

Will Wesson is a 32 year old X- Games Gold Medalist that doesn’t do contests. He also happens to be the most popular pro skier that you’ve never heard of (if you're over the age of 35). Hailing from the East Coast, Will is the quiet athlete in the pioneering webisode series, The Traveling Circus, a show documenting the style and travels of Will and his longtime bff, Andy Parry. Will made it to the pro ranks the hard way and we talk about his route to internet fame and a long, pro ski career. He doesn’t do interviews and I believe this is the most he’s talked in his life.
