In this installment of The Avalanche Hour Podcast; Wes Gregg has a chat with ski film legend, farmer, and father Chris Rubens. Rubens has been a globally recognized professional skier for the past two decades. Truly dedicated to the mountains and passionate about moving in them, Chris chooses to spend the majority of his time self-propelled in the backcountry, seeking beautiful lines to showcase for the world via film, photo and social media. Over the course of his career, he has perfected the skill of delivering high quality content that resonates with viewers around the world. These days, he strives to inspire his audience to take action living and playing with less impact on the climate. Chris is able to continue his dream through the support from brands that he truly believes in. Take some time to check out the products/businesses he supports.

Chris Rubens, for the first time in his career, has switched sponsors.  He tells us that after 19 years with Salomon, the switch to Atomic Skis and Picture Organic was a breath of fresh air.  Like most things do, the relationship ran it's course and Chris is very excited to now put more energy into helping develop and refine the products of his new partners. Chris has also recently become a farmer. He explains the process of finding and buying the land for "First Light Farms" in his home of Revelstoke.

Why did one of the best freeride skiers of the past 20 years become a farmer? Kara Williard and I talk with Salomon skier, Chris Rubens, about starting First Light Farm in Revelstoke, BC, with his partner Jesse; how skiing and farming are more related than you might think; and why Chris finds farming to be one of the most meaningful things he has ever done.TOPICS & TIMESHow Chris became a Farmer (3:57)Growing Food in Revelstoke, BC (14:22)Pigloos?

This is the first (of many – I am sure) of a new series I am calling THE QUARANTINE SESSIONS – tales from our cribs. And I'm delighted that my first guest in the series is Chris Rubens of Revelstoke, British Columbia (where we are chatting from remotely). Chris is a very solid, woke individual that gives a lot to his sport, the community and the world. He grew up in Canmore, BC with another favourite Eric Hjorleifson (#ep23). If there was one thing I took away from this podcast is that what we do as an individual has an impact on the world (timely as well). He's a POW (protect our winters) ambassador and we touch on a lot of these things blended throughout a few ski chats and our little dip into the old days. Before you listen maybe you should watch ‘Guilt Trip' by Salomon TV – I'm going to watch it now. I wish I had of watched it prior to the interview… but the interview got me fired up to watch it.  

The very first Salomon Après-Hour Podcast features three guests—Salomon freeski team members Mike Douglas, Chris Rubens and Greg Hill—who sit down for a discussion about the topic of climate change and how it relates to their lives as professional athletes.

We talk to Cody Townsend about his massive new undertaking to ski 50 classic North American lines. We discuss his approach to The FIFTY Project; how it’s going so far; dealing with its incredibly tricky logistics; which lines are the most daunting; what gear he is using; and more.TOPICS & TIMES:What is The Fifty Project, and how did it come to be? (3:00)Which of the 50 lines are the most daunting? (7:04)“A very involved day” — skiing Mt Currie yesterday with Chris Rubens (22:32)How do you set plans when you’re dealing with extremely unpredictable conditions? (28:30)Cody’s transition from big-mountain freeriding to ski mountaineering (31:35)What skis, boots, bindings, & safety gear are you using on these different lines? (37:52)Cody’s dream collab with Kilian Jornet (40:32)Cody’s “Three Levels of Safety / Rescue” (42:45) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Earlier this year I sat down with Greg Hill and Chris Rubens to talk about their "Electric Adventures" (episode #66), and we also discuss in that episode a bit about Greg’s background. And in this new conversation, our focus is on the present and the future. Greg and I discuss the new Canadian chapter of Protect Our Winters; get Greg’s advice for how to productively deal with what he calls “eco-anxiety”; we talk about a new app called 57 Hours that is more effectively connecting guides with skiers, bikers, and climbers; and I ask Greg what piece of backcountry safety equipment he is currently most excited about.TOPICS & TIMES:Kids, trampolines, and backcountry skiing (2:10)Greg's work with Protect our Winters Canada (8:45)"Eco-Anxiety" and productive responses (13:08)An update on Greg's Electric Adventures (22:30)Greg's take on the growing category of electric vehicles (34:18)Greg's work as a guide (39:12)New guide app 57 Hours — why Greg and I are excited about it (41:14)What new backcountry safety equipment are you most excited about?

Skier, Guide, and Environmentalist Greg Hill,  is leading the way by proving what we can do to become sustainable adventurers.  It's a a theme that is building momentum within our community and Greg, with help from his skiing and travel partner Chris Rubens, is leading the charge.   Travelling to go skiing and adventuring in the mountains has a big carbon footprint and Greg is doing his best to find sustainable alternatives.  He's sold his big diesel truck, gave away his snowmobile, significantly cut down on his international flights and has bought an electric vehicle to get him to where he needs to be.

This week we're talking to Greg Hill and Chris Rubens. Greg is probably best known for his feats in ski touring, including his accomplishment in 2010 of skiing 2 million vertical feet in a year. And Chris Rubens is probably best known for being dumb enough to try to keep up with Greg.We sat down with Greg and Chris in Denver to talk about how the two became the unofficial power couple of Revelstoke, and to learn more about the logistics of their latest Electric Adventure which took them from Revy to Colorado in an electric car for a screening of their new film, The Curve of Time.Greg and Chris talk about what inspired the film, how it embodies both their love of the outdoors and their continued efforts to consider the impact that each of us is having on the environment — and what we might do about that. So I really hope their new film and our conversation here stimulate some new thoughts that get each of us to take some new actions.TOPICS & TIMES:When did you guys meet?

The new SHIFT MNC 13 from Salomon & Atomic represents a significant leap forward in binding design. Check out our conversation with Salomon's Cody Townsend Chris Rubens, and Benoit Sublet, and our initial on-snow impressions.TOPICS & TIMES:Introductions — Cody Townsend, Chris Rubens, Sam Shaheen, and Ben Sublet (1:58)What does this binding do, and what makes it different?

I really enjoyed talking to today’s guest Chris Ruben - a professional skier whom you’ll find in many ski movies if you just search for him on Youtube.  Today you’ll get a cool perspective into what it’s like to be in the ski movies, what it takes to get there, and how to train for ski season. Chris is also out to deliver a message - and his projects reflect that. Watch for his upcoming film, produced by Salomon with his partner in adventure (and last week's guest) Greg Hill - The Curve of Time - and how they both strive to be environmentally responsible athletes.  Because there is often a life metaphor in these discussion, it was interesting to hear Chris’ viewpoint on a good partnership/team mate. Listen to how they each talk about the other not only with respect but recognizing where their partner excels vs where they do. This is important in the mountains as well as in the office.  So listen on and let’s gear up.  Find more at www.thegearshow.com  Resources:  Greg Hill’s Youtube channel and the Facebook page.  Chris Rubens’ Facebook page How Chris Rubens and Greg Hill train for ski season Chris Rubens on Instagram
