Kristen Ulmer is routinely called the best female big mountain skier of her time, maybe ever, and that annoys her, and she’ll let you know it. If you’ve seen Kristen ski, you know her gender doesn’t matter, she’s always been about sending it and most of the time it’s bigger than her male peers. Kristen is a living legend, a unique personality and in part one of the podcast, we talk about her not really falling in love with skiing until HS, being blind as a bat, extreme skiing, injuries, the US Ski Team, and more.

While Matt Peterson is the current VP of Woodward Tahoe, Boreal and Soda Springs, he’s done it all in the world of snowboarding. During his pro riding days, he competed in the X Games, filmed with Warren Miller and others, had the sponsors, and did the travel. He then went on to help start Academy Snowboards and used his marketing genius to help make the brand an instant success.

Rory Bushfield is known for living dangerously. Yeah, he’s a pro skier, but the risk factor seems to come from everything else in life that he does. Rory started out as the kid who was always getting hurt, but he was also the kid who, cast or not, would crush you in the moguls. He was the JR Olympic Mogul Champion and he quit his Olympic path or the park, pipe, and video parts. In part 1 of this hilarious podcast, we talk about his stunts, money, LCP, death, pressure, and a lot more.
