This time on the Kooler Lifestyle Podcast, Matt is joined by Andy Sovick, founder and CEO of Beacon Guide Books! Beacon Guidebooks aims to provide critical terrain and avalanche information to every backcountry skier or rider. Andy describes the work they do as a publishing company more than anything else because of their constant collaboration with many different respected authors and guides in the outdoor industry. He shares his upbringing as well as how he made it to Gunnison and what made him stay for as long as he has. Andy touches on a lot of the stigma around backcountry skiing and the influx of people entering the sport for the first time. He talks about what triggers an avalanche and reiterates the importance of making this knowledge as widespread and available as possible, and even then, Andy and everyone at Beacon Guidebooks are always innovating and finding new ways to prevent fatal accidents from happening.
