Jeremy Nobis is a living legend who describes his life and times on skis as often misunderstood. But I believe there is no misunderstanding; Jeremy was a race prodigy, making the US Ski Team at 16 and racing in the World Cup until he was 26 years old. Then, Jeremy transitioned to the big mountains, and singlehandedly changed the way people ski them. In part 1 with Nobis, we discuss coming up in Park City with a chip in his shoulder, ski racing, the US Ski Team, the Olympics, injury, and more. Jeremy speaks his mind without a filter, and you don’t want to miss this podcast
