Alexi Godbout was born to ski instructor parents and was on his way to a pro skier future from a young age. He did the standard, started with ski racing, graduated to moguls, and then got his master's in park skiing. He went from local kid, following new school legend Philou Poirier, to a pro Salomon contract at 14 and a 20+ year pro ski career that, after years of podiums, shifted to the big mountains where he makes his “Blank Collective” films today. On the podcast, we talk about getting sponsored early, beating Tanner and Henrik at the ISPO Awards, injuries, big mountains, and more. Stan Rey asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Tommy Moe is an absolute legend. This longtime US Ski Teamer is the only Olympic Downhill gold medalist I’ve had on the podcast. But Tommy’s life wasn’t always destined for glory. Between getting kicked off a ski team, to being put on probation by the US Ski Team, the future wasn’t always so promising. In part 1 of the podcast, we talk about ski racing, his issues, moving to Alaska, making the US Ski Team at a young age, the struggles of an athlete on the come up and the Albertville Olympic Games. It is a fun chat, and Tommy's US Ski Team teammate, Reggie Crist, asks the Inappropriate Questions.
