In Tom’s 30+ years with the US Ski and Snowboard Team, he’s been responsible for integrating sports like moguls, ski jumping, snowboarding, halfpipe skiing and slopestyle in the US mix. Then, at the events, he’s been the guy coordinating media for athletes like Lindsay Vonn, Mikaela Shiffrin, Picabo Street, and Bode Miller.

Xander Guldman is a relative newcomer on the scene and could be called "one of the best kept secrets in skiing." I mean, he’s been competing in big mountain environments since he was 10 years old, he’s stood on many podiums, made it to the Freeride World Tour, won awards, and has/is filming with the biggest outfits in the ski game. His bouncy style and unique trick/grab vocabulary separate him from the rest and on the podcast, we talk about his live-scored personal project “Form”, graduating from UC Davis Pre-Med, the FWT, skiing and what’s next. Xander’s brother, Jordan Guldman, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Matt Reardon was born and raised in Louisiana, not the place you’d expect a longtime pro skier to grow up. But Matt isn't just a skier; he’s a talented musician, a onetime frontman, who toured the world to shred his guitar and fresh powder. The crazy thing is, Matt can trace his life and times today back to two events that happened prior to high school: seeing Van Halen live and then seeing “Hot Dog, The Movie”. Those two things changed Matt’s life. On part 1 of his podcast we talk about those events, getting into skiing, Tahoe, Europe, and so much more. Chris “Uncle E” Ernst asks the Inappropriate Questions.
