It's another listener suggested episode... with a twist! In 2020 Cori Lambert was an AASI Level 3 working towards becoming a trainer. She emailed the show with some questions just as the podcast went on hiatus. Fast forward 4 years, and Cori has not only become a trainer at Aspen Snowmass, she's now a Rocky Mountain examiner, and in the spring of 2024 was selected to the PSIA-AASI Snowboard National Team!
Tune in to hear Cori answer some of her own questions and reflect on what she's learned about herself through snowboarding and the process of making the National Team!
