Josh Loubek is a pioneer of the new school freeskiing movement. After graduating from moguls and aerials, Josh quit that path for a new direction in the sport. While people thought he was crazy, it all worked out. In part 1 of the podcast, we talk about a team sports guy in Seattle, the switch to skiing, Freeze Magazine, PBP, MSP, Sponsorship, money, and more. The Jerk, aka Mark Epstein, asks the Inappropriate Questions
