Black Crows Skis co-founder, Camille Jaccoux

Our guest today is Camille Jaccoux, the co-founder of Black Crows Skis. This is Camille’s 2nd time on the Blister Podcast, and you should check out Blister Podcast ep. 64, where I talked to Camille and Black Crows head ski designer, Julien Regnier, about the history of Black Crows. 

This time, we talk about growing up in Chamonix and Camille’s background in skiing; what Black Crows is doing to grow the brand while trying to stay true to the reasons why they started the company in the first place; we discuss the lost art of ski ballet, who would win today in a mogul comp between Camille and Glen Plake, and get predictions for this upcoming season.
