Join us as we sit down with Milan Kubala of Stowe, VT. We first connected with Milan at our weekly skimo races in 2016. Since then a lot has happened. During our talk we'll learn how Milan became known as the Denim Ghost, about his journey from racing by headlamp at Bolton Valley to competing in Europe, and what led him to join the board of directors of the United States Ski Mountaineering Association (USSMA). We'll also talk to Milan about what he's been up to this season and his plans for the future. Milan has been working with Bolton Valley and Sunrise Mountain Guides to build instructional programs focused on uphill skiing.
