Why Ultra-High Performers Love Fear, and Why You Need To | Kristen Ulmer A note before we begin: This episode discusses risk, mortality, anxiety, and the deaths of friends in extreme sports. If any of it lands hard, please pause and reach out to someone you trust. What if the world's most elite performers are not the ones who beat fear, but the ones who become intimate with it? For twelve consecutive years, Kristen Ulmer was named the best big mountain extreme skier in the world. Powder Magazine called her the protoplasmic mass of skiing. Every interviewer who ever sat across from her called her fearless.  . She has spent the rest of her life trying to explain what they got wrong. Because Kristen Ulmer was never fearless. She was a fear addict, and the world misread that addiction as courage, while four of her closest friends, including ski legend Shane McConkey, paid for the same addiction with their lives. . After fourteen years of study with a Zen master, Kristen has spent the last twenty years arguing one contrarian idea against the entire personal-development industry: fear is not the enemy. The way you have been taught to handle it is. In her new book, The Art of Fear, she lays out four levels of relating to fear, resistance, acceptance, feeling, and intimacy, and makes the case that almost every coach, therapist, and self-help expert on the planet is teaching levels one and two while calling it level four. . And here is the line in this episode that may rewire how you think about your own life: only the best of the best of the best athletes in the world develop intimacy with fear. The second-best never do. It's not the talent gap, it's not the training gap, it's not the genetics gap. It is the relationship gap. And the same is true in business, in leadership, and in love. . Then Dov does something rare. He stops Kristen mid-thesis and asks the question she admits nobody has ever asked her before... . Not the clean version, Kristen. What is the most frustrating part of this work, the thing you would only tell a friend over a glass of wine? What she says next is the most honest moment in the episode. Inside this conversation: The sentence that may rewire your entire life: fear has never held anyone back from doing anything; it is your unwillingness to feel fear that holds you back The four levels of relating to fear, and why only level four (intimacy) produces both elite performance and the ability to sleep at night The one trait the best of the best share that the almost-best never develop, and what it costs the rest of us when we mistake one for the other The moment Dov asks Kristen what she was actually avoiding her entire ski career, and the answer that reframes the whole episode If you came here for comfort, you are on the wrong podcast. If something in you has been quietly wondering whether you traded aliveness for stability, and you can no longer remember how to feel anything in full color, this is the conversation you have been outrunning.

When we left off last episode amaHlubi chief Langalibalele and a few hundred warriors had sought shelter inside Basotholand, crossing the Drakensberg Mountains through Bushmans Pass in November 1873. When the British tried to send columns to corner him, one of the columns had been stopped by amaHlubi at the pass where five of the British troops had been killed, three young Natal Carbineers, a Basotho tracker and a translator. This event had shocked the settlers of Natal, and in response by Lieutenant Governor Chilly Pine began a campaign to destroy the amaHlubi and amaNgwe in their two locations, west of the town of where Mooi River is today. Pine declared Martial Law. Most of the amaNgwe and amaHlubi men fled, and the British rounded up women and children and the elderly. The women and children were placed in the charge of friendly chiefs in the up-country districts, while the old men were sent to Pietermarizburg to be kept under surveillance by other friendly black chiefs. On the 17th December, as a kind of afterthought, Pine followed this up with a declaration that all amaNgwe were now officially dispossessed of their land. The arbitrary killings of both clans continued mostly by the African levies, under the watchful eyes of colonial officers who appeared to be egging them on. Major Anthony Durnford, a professional soldier and engineer who'd been wounded by the amaHlubi during the battle of Bushman's Pass earlier in November was one of the few who spoke up against the bloodletting. “There have been sad sights …” he reported “…women and children butchered by our black allies too often unhappily by the permission and encouragement of the white leaders… old men too … the burnt villages — dead women … it was horrible.” Two columns of volunteers and African levies were now searching for Langalibalele. One headed to East Griqualand, while the other rode back to Bushman's Pass following the spoor left by the amaHlubi cattle. The amaHlubi warriors had taken all their cattle into Basotholand to join their chief. Natal authorities were offering a one pound reward per warrior captured, and 100 cattle for Langalibalele, dead or alive. The amaHlubi chief was deep in Basotholand, close to the Senqu river, the Orange, about fifty kilometres west of the Bushman River Pass. By early January several hundred men and about 7 000 cattle assembled under his command. He had no clear plan about what to do, his original idea was to escape from the British then ponder next steps. But now he was in Sotho territory, very much out of his depth. Boers in the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek and the Free State formed commandos and sent them to the borders in case Langalibalele showed up — or in case any of the chiefs that surrounded their territories decided to join in. Eastern Cape and Natal English farmers sent their women and children into towns, battening down their farm hatches. Their fears were heightened by the role that Basotholand was appearing to play. In the minds of the colonists, this mountain kingdom was thought of as the Central South African powder Magazine — a place no-one could control, full of guns now bought by workers on the diamond mines and farms. It was in the heartland of south Africa, annexed by the British in 1868, ruled by a new king Letsie who had succeeded Moshoeshoe. Although annexed to the Cape in 1871, it remained a highly unstable land in the minds of colonials. Langalibalele had no idea of all of this as he considered his next steps inside Basotholand. The British had also mobilised hundreds of troops who boarded the HMS Rattlesnake in Cape Town and were en route to bolster Natal while a large police force rode into Basotholand from the Cape's eastern Frontier region. IN East Griqualand, Adam Kok's Griqua also mobilised in support of the British. The amaHlubi chief eventually handed himself over to the Basotholand chief Molapo and was taken back to Pietermaritzburg for his trial.

Haines was named the best place in the world for heli-skiing by POWDER Magazine. And for now, the town's heli-skiing rules aren't changing. That's after the borough assembly landed on an ordinance that mostly upheld the status-quo, including the number of permits and helicopters. KHNS reporter Melinda Munson has the details. 

Mike Rogge is a journalist and film producer began at Ski The East then continued at Powder Magazine, ESPN, Vice Sports, and The Ski Journal. After that Mike went into writing, directing, and, later, shooting and producing short films that appeared across the world from the Brooklyn Museum to PBS and the Banff Mountain International Film Fest Festival. His company, Verb Cabin, purchased Mountain Gazette in January 2020 in an effort to bring back the beloved title. He loved nostalgia and the history of mountain culture. Mike also loves a good f*cking challenge.

Today's episode discusses sensitive topics related to mental health and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, we encourage you to reach out for help. Remember, you are not alone, and resources are available to support you. If you are in the United States, you can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. For those outside the U.S., please contact local mental health services or helplines. We hope this conversation sheds light on the importance of mental health awareness and encourages open dialogue within our communities. Mental Health First Aid Resources: https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/mental-health-resources/ In episode 158, we have a powerful conversation about mental health in the outdoor community with, Drew Petersen, the creator of Feel It All, a film that explores the intersection of mental health struggles and ultramarathon running.  We'll hear about the personal journey behind the film, the challenges facing mountain communities, and the critical role outdoor athletes can play in changing the stigma around mental health.  Drew Petersen is a professional skier and passionate ultrarunner who is on a mission to change our culture surrounding mental health. He blends his athletic adventures—ranging from skiing peaks in the backcountry to running 100 miles—with his storytelling as a writer, filmmaker, and speaker in order to bring others along for the ride and to advocate for what he cares most about. As a skier, he has graced magazine covers and starred in dozens of award-winning ski films. His writing has appeared in Outside Magazine, Powder Magazine, SKI Magazine, and more publications. In 2022, Drew produced, co-directed, and starred in Ups and Downs a mold-breaking film that mirrors the mountains and valleys of ski touring with his own mental health journey. His newest film Feel It All chronicles running the Leadville 100, one of the most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons in the world, through the peaks he has skied surrounding the course and the deep, mental health goal that drives him to pursue both audacious athletic goals and a full life.

Brian O'Keefe was a man born to be free of any kind of structure and fishing was the caveat to keep him running to the end of the rainbow where the best fishing holes lay. I recognize this because I have the same life text book which reads; ski, fish, eat, sleep! Seeing a photograph of him in his early life, upside down on a Powder Magazine cover, struck me deeply as I remembered this photo from many moons ago. I always wondered who this free spirited skier was. Jump ahead 15 years when I was cutting my teeth with a fish called Megalops, I heard of Brian catching a world record fish with Pate in Africa. Later, while at a trade show a number of years ago, I meet this mystery man, O'Keefe. Very rarely do you meet such a giant so gregarious and friendly. It was as if he was seeking to be hired for his first job. We didn't spend much time together, but I knew instantly we could be incredible friends. Over the next 15 years I kept a keen eye on Brian's work in many publications from every corner of the planet, and I always thought to myself when I'd see a photograph of him with an extraordinary subject , “what a lucky guy!” And finally we get to hear all about it.

What used to be called 100-year floods are now annual occurrences. Summer 2023 was the wettest ever in Vermont, with 2 feet of rain falling on the state. One storm submerged the capital of Montpelier. This July saw towns such as Plainfield ripped apart by raging rivers. In Connecticut this month, a storm dropped more than a foot of rain, leading to deadly and destructive flooding.Author Porter Fox says the source of these deluges — as well as heat waves, fires, and floods — is the ocean, where about 90% of global warming is occurring. This is the inexorable consequence of human-caused climate change. The top layer of the ocean has warmed about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which is “large enough to transform marine biodiversity, change ocean chemistry, raise sea levels, and fuel extreme weather,” reports the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.Fox explains the connection between oceans, climate change and extreme weather in his new book, “Category Five: Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them.”Fox has a personal connection to the ocean. He grew up on Mount Desert Island in Maine, home to Acadia National Park. His father was a renowned boat builder, and Fox learned the craft of ocean sailing by trial and lots of error. He later attended Middlebury College and wrote about skiing adventures all around the world as an editor of Powder Magazine but has now returned to his first love, the sea. Fox's other books include “The Last Winter” and “Northland.”In “Category Five,” Fox captures the awesome power of the ocean by profiling a legendary storm sailor, a mapmaker and a maker of sailing drones, among others.“The ocean is the mother of all weather. It's like a battery that is getting charged up by this excess heat that we have,” Fox said. This is creating squalls and hurricanes with “metrics that we've never seen before.” These monster storms are “traveling farther while moving slower, thus dumping more water and the ferocity of their winds has more time to wreak havoc as they go,” Fox said.“A full throated ocean gale is absolutely terrifying,” he said. These storms have an “explosive sound and shrieking and raging wind and waves that are so powerful they can toss around a 30,000 pound boat like it's a little toy.”Even landlocked places such as Vermont are experiencing the power of the ocean. “Most of the rain that you see in Vermont comes off of the ocean and evaporation. So we have a hotter climate over the ocean. We have more evaporation. We have more energy being infused into the atmosphere,” Fox said. “So every front, every thunderstorm, every squall, every rainstorm is directly connected to the ocean.”The warming ocean has transformed how and when storms occur. “Hurricane season used to be roughly from June to November,” Fox said. Hurricanes have recently occurred in January and May. "Now there is no off season,” he said.What would it take to fix what is broken? “It's kind of an obvious answer: just a little bit of everything,” Fox said. That includes “changing how we create and consume energy around the world, closing down coal-fired power plants, changing from gas cars to electric cars or hydrogen batteries.”“Without the ocean, we'd be gone by now," Fox said. "That 90% of the heat that it is absorbed (by oceans) would be right up in the atmosphere. Temperatures would be unbearable. Storms would be so much more powerful. And yet the ocean is this buffer.”“There's a lot of checks and balances, and it's perhaps the reason that this little blue ball of a planet has maintained life for so long,” he said.“If we can just be aware of that and kind of nudge some of those balances," Fox said, "you could bring the planet back to the way it was pre-1800s.”

Colter Hinchliffe is living proof that the Aspen rockstar ski bum dream not only exists but it can thrive if your heart is in the right place. Colter spent his life surrounding himself with the only thing that mattered to him - Skiing.  And between growing up near Aspen, dropping out of college to shred, moving to Alta, and returning to Aspen, he made the right contacts to make the dream come true. He was tending bar in Aspen, making handfuls of cash, allowing him to travel anywhere in the world at a minute's notice...That lifestyle put him in AK and eventually in a helicopter with the TGR crew when he was 25 years old, and that, combined with an unexpected Powder Magazine cover, helped Colter graduate from ski bum to pro skier pretty late in the game. It's a real-life Aspen Extreme Ski Bum Story.

Known as the ‘Godfather Of Freeskiing', Mike Douglas is consistently listed by media outlets as one of the most influential skiers of all time. He began his career as a mogul skier on the Canadian Freestyle Ski Team in the early 1990s. In 1997, he developed the first high-performance twin-tip ski, the Salomon Teneighty, and his freeskiing career was launched. Dubbed the New Canadian Air Force, Mike and his crew of Canadians revolutionized the sport with their tricks at ski resorts across the globe. He even has a signature tick - the D Spin. Mike has appeared in more than 50 ski films, was named Powder Magazine's ‘Male Skier Of The Year' in 2003, and was the voice of skiing at the X Games for 14 years. In 2004, Mike founded Switchback Entertainment - a video production company specializing in outdoor adventure films and commercials. He launched the groundbreaking web series, Salomon TV, in 2007 and has produced/directed more than a dozen award-winning films including The Freedom Chair, Tempting Fear, Eclipse, Snowman, Guilt Trip and Fountain Of Youth. From 1997-2017 his role as a marketing consultant and ambassador for Whistler Blackcomb helped propel the organization to the top of the ski resort rankings. He has been named ‘Favourite Whistlerite' 7 times by the readers of Whistler's local newspaper, Pique Newsmagazine. Today, Mike is a married father of two, and splits his time between raising his family, skiing professionally, producing/directing films and commercials at Switchback Entertainment, and environmental advocacy work.

Dave Moe is the most unique, eclectic guest I've had on the podcast, and he and his brother may have had more of an impact on the sport of skiing than anyone else I've had on the show. The Moe's started Powder Magazine, and Dave Moe was the gonzo journalist who traveled the world in the name of Powder. On the podcast, we talk about early Seattle skiing, his “Screw Loose” alter egos, founding Powder Magazine, sales, marketing, travel, and general weirdness. Jake Moe makes a couple of appearances to clear some things up on this history lesson of an episode. Dave Moe Show Notes: 5:00:  Screw Loose and Alter Egos: Abraham Lincoln, Tragic Johnson, Lambchop, and Captain Powder, and skiing in Seattle. 13:00:  Skiing in Seattle, the idea for Powder Magazine, Jake on couch surfing, Sun Valley, and what did other media think of Powder? 20:00:  Rollerblade: They invented inline skating and make the best skates on the planet. Best Day Brewing:  All of the flavor of your favorite IPA or Kolsch, without the alcohol, the calories and sugar. Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 22:00:  The magazine plan, what it costs, the reason Powder was a success in Jake's mind, paying for the product, the sales strategy,  covers, and travel 36:00: Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code winteriscoming Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there.  Outdoor Research:  Click here for 25% off Outdoor Research products (not valid on sale items or pro products) 38:00:  Hunter S Thompson influence, weird stuff, expense accounts, and selling Powder 43:00:  How does Powder end for him, Spiritual Editor, Powder is coming back, and his Hall of Fame bid 47:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Eric Sanford

John Falkiner, Professional ski bum, stunt man, telemark skier, and now mountain guide, there seems to be little he cannot conquer when it comes to mountains. At 18, lured by the prospect of deep powder skiing, he moved from the snowy mountains of Australia to the Swiss resort of Verbier – and it didn't disappoint. A chance meeting on the slopes with fellow skier Ace Kvale and photographer Marco Shapiro – next stop, the front cover of Powder Magazine. From here, sponsorship deals and lifelong friendships turned John's passion into 50 years of action-packed fun. He's been involved in more than 80 films…including James Bond and Bridget Jones…although I'm reliably informed, he wasn't her stunt double. His adventure continues, all be it a little toned down, playing guitar with his ‘Lost Guides' and taking a more cultural route through life. He tells me he was really happy to be born when he was…saying it's become way too expensive to be a ski bum!For more on the amazing athletes and sports enthusiasts featured on the podcast, head to Instagram @samincham_thepodcast and Facebook.

Derek Taylor once held the most important job in ski media at a time when magazines dominated the media landscape. Derek was Editor in Chief of Powder Magazine, but before that, he was a “ski bum” in Crested Butte right about when Seth Morrison and the US Extremes came to town. In the early days, DT made ends meet by freelance writing for outfits like ESPN The Magazine, The Ski Journal, Freeskier, Outside, Bike Magazine, and more. Then he landed the dream job at Powder.

Jason and Matthew interview Jim Harris, a wilderness photographer who was injured in 2014. Jim was recently featured in Outside Magazine regarding his experience with psilocybin and its connection to some restored mobility. This conversation is a follow-up to our previous podcast with Dr. Jessica Nielson on the potential use of psilocybin after SCI. However, in this episode, we specifically focus on one of our community member's direct experience with exploring the use of psychedelics and his advocacy to decriminalize their use in Colorado. Guest Bio Before sustaining a spine injury at the end of 2014, Jim Harris made his living from hard days in the mountains. Following six years of teaching wilderness mountaineering courses, Jim began shooting photos, video, and writing for clients like National Geographic, Camp 4 Collective, Powder Magazine, and outdoor brands. His work reflects a deep firsthand expertise of wilderness travel and DIY adventure. Since being paralyzed, Jim has pushed towards a remarkable recovery and is finding fresh opportunities to be involved in adventure storytelling.

Bruce Edgerly or “Edge” as he's fondly known is one of the only ski entrepreneurs I know to sell his company, get rich, and still be involved in the day-to-day of the business. I haven't had anyone on the podcast with that type of story and Edge is also the only Ivy League guy I've had on the show. But Edge is just a dirtbag kayaker and skier who parlayed the contacts he made while writing for Powder Magazine and Larry Flint into a guerilla marketing machine that would drive the company he and his partner started, BCA, to the forefront of the industry. This is the ski version of the Steve Jobs story…but with a lot more personality. Steve Christie asks Inappropriate Questions, and they are awesome. Bruce Edgerly Show Notes: 3:30:  Moving to Miami, Holderness Academy, Hockey at Brown University, and then moving to Utah 8:00:  Graduating from Brown, getting a real job in Basalt, getting fired from that job, and then delivering the newspaper   12:00:  Miami Vice in Aspen, kayaking, Dean Cummings, the AK Heli Wars, and Powder Magazine 20:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there Outdoor Research:  The best outerwear ever built just got better 22:30:  Larry Flint, forerunning extreme comps in AK, and the birthday party that changes his life 31:00:  Creating the BCA market through connections, being a Peruvian hat-wearing Tele skier, road-tripping the Alpine Trekker, financing, and what production look like 35:00:  The idea for the digital transceiver, who built the Tracker, the avalanche that kickstarted the Tracker 41:00:  10 Barrel Brewery: Buy their beers; they support action sports more than anyone Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better 43:00:  The Beacon Wars, making bold claims that made people angry, Steve Conger's advice, winning over Canada and Europe, and validation in the States 54:00:  First live recovery, airbags, putting his house and assets on the line in the name of BCA, and selling to K2 67:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Steve Christie

Dan Egan is a man who Powder Magazine named one of the most influential skiers of our time. He was instrumental in making extreme skiing what it is today, and is known for skiing the most remote, inhospitable regions of the world. He's seen death and despair. But also great triumph and new heights. He is appeared in multiple Warren Miller ski films as well as on the discovery channel, ESPN Fox Sports and in countless magazines, books and videos. Along with his equally famous brother he has skied around the world, recorded more than 51st descents, jumped off cliffs, the heights of 12 story buildings and defied death multiple times, sometimes barely. He's also a businessman, motivational speaker, consultant, media expert, writer, journalist and producer. As a writer he wrote or co-wrote three books. All Terrain Skiing: Body Mechanics and Balance From Powder to Ice. Courage to Persevere: The Triumph Over Tragedy of Bill Fallon, and 30 Years in a White Haze. As a journalist, he covered three Olympics and is a three time NESJA Harold Hirsch award winner for excellence in journalism. As a producer, he was awarded a Telly award in 1991 and is a three time new England Emmy award nominee for his TV series, Wild World of Winter. An avid sailor as well, our guest has also produced video for the US Sailing Team at two sailing World Championships and his media company represented Sperry shoes during the 35th America's cup in Bermuda. He's also worked with other well-known companies on marketing and branding, including North Face, Suzuki, Sprint and Coors. He is a member of the Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.

Drew Petersen is a professional skier with a running habit. And now that summer running habit has brought Drew to the start line of the Leadville Trail 100. He grew up just north of Leadville in Silverthorne, so running Leadville has been a lifelong dream. This spring, he also spent some time skiing in the Sawatch Range to start to build a relationship with these peaks and the course. As a skier, he has graced magazine covers, including one of the last covers of the now defunct Powder Magazine, and starred in dozens of award-winning ski films. His writing has appeared in Outside Magazine, Powder Magazine, SKI Magazine, and more publications. Most recently, Drew produced, co-directed, and starred in “Ups and Downs,” a mold-breaking film that mirrors the mountains and valleys of ski touring with his own mental health journey. Within the film he gets raw and vulnerable, talking openly about his struggles with PTSD, biploar disorder, and suicidal ideation. Building on how the film has helped others, Drew is using his platform and opportunities as a professional athlete to change our culture surrounding mental health. While most folks know him for his skiing, trail running is a core part of his mental health journey and really, who he is as a person. So, in advance of the upcoming Leadville 100, we linked up to talk about what this race means for him. You can find out more about Drew on his website at: www.drew-petersen.com If you know someone battling depression and suicide, help them get help.

Inappropriate Questions has been a staple of The Powell Movement podcast over the past couple of seasons. But did you know the show pre-dates TPM?  Years ago, I had a podcast with Powder Magazine called “Sponsored,” and to build my own audience off that show, I created Inappropriate Questions as a stand-alone podcast and put it out on the TPM feed.

As part of our Season III relaunch this week, we are revisiting a few of our favorite episodes that grapple with big life themes, break down the components of change, and dive into strategies that are relevant and applicable to you today.This is the story of an athletic prodigy. It's also the story of how setbacks become catalysts for change, how determination fuels a dream, and how a drive for adventure can evolve. And it is a story of risk-taking, mountain life,  and personal reflection that characterize what it takes to ski and fly in the backcountry. For pro-skier Caite Zeliff, the derailing of her career as a ski racer was an opportunity to reconnect with herself and become the athlete she was always meant to be.  At 12, Caite Zeliff started a ski racing career that brought her all over the world. She ascended, she earned a scholarship to a boarding school, she won titles, she received an invitation to the US Ski Team – and she also was rejected, blew out her knee, and burned out – all by age 20. When the U.S. Ski Team invitation didn't come, and she blew out her knee while racing for the University of New Hampshire, she left college and headed westward in search of big mountains and powder. It was in Jackson Hole, WY, where Caite found her true calling – freeskiing.This risk-taking mentality has built her a career as a professional freeskier. Beyond winning Jackson Hole's Kings and Queens of Corbet's twice, Caite has starred in films like Warren Miller's Timeless (2019) and Teton Gravity Research's Make Believe (2020), and Stoke the Fire (2021).  Topics Include:- Caite's journey from ski racer to professional freeskier- Viewing “failure” as an opportunity- Wrestling with an inner obsession for achievement- Shifting focus from the outcome to the process- Processing childhood- Taking risks and stepping out of comfort zones- Finding your voice as a female in a male-dominated industry- The transformational power of women supporting women- Learning to fly and a shifted mindset- And other topics...Resources Mentioned:Caite's Website: https://www.caitezeliff.comCaite's IG: @caitezeliffTimeless, Warren Miller (2019): https://warrenmiller.com/film-archive/timeless-2019Make Believe, Teton Gravity Research (2020): https://www.tetongravity.com/films/make-believeStoke the Fire, Teton Gravity Research (2021): https://www.tetongravity.com/films/stoke-the-fire Powder Magazine: https://www.powder.com/stories/pro-deal-caite-zeliff/Freeskier Magazine: https://freeskier.com/stories/jackson-royaltyStay Connected:Signup for AIR BORN, our monthly newsletter!

We sat down and had an awesome talk with Sierra Shafer, former editor-in-chief at Powder Magazine, and current editor-in-chief at Ski Magazine. Eric, George, and Sierra looked back on some epic Powder Weeks weeks, and dive into Sierra's transition going from the end of Powder to almost immediately taking on the editor role at Ski Magazine, another major pillar in the ski media landscape. We get into some of the changes going on at Ski Magazine as well.

Gabe Schroder is the most passionate behind-the-scenes player I know in snow business. While he's always been a talented marketer, he's really made his money over the years through building relationships and spreading his stoke for the love of skiing to the masses.

The Earth's coldest places are a hot mess.As a result of climate change, studies suggest that most ski areas in southern New England will be out of business by 2040. A recent climate assessment in Vermont says that the Vermont ski season will be shortened by up to a month. In the western United States, high elevation snowpacks have decreased by nearly 50 percent in the last four decades. In the Alps, half of the glacial ice has disappeared.This matters because when snow and ice vanish, sea levels rise, ocean currents change, wildfires become more intense, and fresh water becomes scarce — to name just a few impacts. Journalist Porter Fox has gone from traveling and skiing the world as a former editor of Powder Magazine to journeying through frozen lands to chronicle the alarming impacts of climate change. His new book is The Last Winter: The Scientists, Adventurers, Journeymen, and Mavericks Trying to Save the World."The cool, reflective crust of ice and snow now draped around the poles is the final buffer between us and radical climate change," Fox wrote recently in Time. If we lose the world's cold places, he warns, "we lose the world we know."

Ingrid Backstrom - Legendary Freeskier, Fierce Competitor, Game-Changer, Ski Movie Star Episode #25 Brought to you by Tamarack Resort & Alta Ski Area My guest today is Ingrid Backstrom. Ingrid is a legendary freeskier who made a huge impact on the ski industry and forever changed freeskiing. She started out dominating the North American freeskiing competitions ending up on the podium in 12 of the 14 contests she entered. After getting noticed by the owners of Matchstick Productions while winning a freeskiing comp in Crested Butte, CO, Ingrid exploded onto the freeskiing scene in 2004 and has never looked back. After her very first ski movie with Matchstick Productions 2004 movie Yearbook, Ingrid took home both "Best Female Performance" & "Breakthrough Performace" at the 2005 Powder Awards. Ingrid won Powder Magazine's Reader Poll every year from 2005-2015. Ingrid's aggressive, hard-charging, graceful, seemingly effortless style simply blew people's minds on the big screen. Ingrid has also proven herself on some of Earth's highest mountains skiing off 26,000' Gasherbrum II in the Himalaya, and harvesting the first decent of 20,000' Reddomaine in China not to mention her first descents in Greenland, Baffin Island, and more. Ingrid's humble background of spending weekends in a 1954 bookmobile turned RV in the Crystal Mountain parking lot and ski racing at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA are fascinating and pivotal to her success. Ingrid has been in over 20 ski movies and was even included in ESPN's 50 Most Influential People in Action Sport in 2013.

Jim Harris, is an absolute bad ass, there's really no other way to put it. He is an accomplished adventure photographer, athlete, and artist - and probably the most positive guy you'll ever meet. His work has been featured in Powder Magazine, National Geographic, and in the catalogues of many prominent outdoor brands.  Our conversation weaved in and out of topics like: recognizing opportunity when it knocks, finding your niche, embracing uncertainty, the curse of student loans, mental visualization, the importance of mentorship, and the state of the adventure photographer/journalist industry. Oh and we talked about one other really big thing. Three years ago, while snow kiting in preparation for a ski expedition in the Patagonia region of Chile, Jim was unexpectedly launched into the air and remembers thinking, “Shit, I hope I don't break my ankle, that will ruin the trip." He actually woke up paralyzed.  The diagnosis wasn't good - He had no feeling from the sternum down. After a long, hard, and scary road - his grit, determination, and optimism literally healed him. Trust me, you don't want to miss the whole story in his own words.
