Join us for a thrilling conversation with Julian Carr, the legendary free skier and mastermind behind the Cirque Series. Discover how Julian's childhood hikes in Salt Lake City with his father sparked a lifelong passion for mountain sports, ultimately leading him to create the Cirque Series. Julian gives us an insider's look into how his frustration with traditional races lacking excitement and thoughtful course design led to the birth of this groundbreaking event. From spectacular mountain climbs to the electric après-ski atmosphere, the Cirque Series promises a unique experience for athletes and enthusiasts alike.

Julian shares his transformative moment in Iceland that crystallized his vision for the Cirque Series, blending challenging courses with a party-like celebration. We explore the exciting partnership with La Sportiva and plans to expand the series to new heights and locations, like the anticipated races at Crystal Mountain and Cannon Mountain. His enthusiasm extends beyond mountain running, hinting at potential winter sports expansions and a commitment to elevating U.S. mountain running on the global stage through live streaming and media engagement.

The conversation takes a deeper dive into the spirit of inclusivity and community that defines the Cirque Series. Julian talks about creating an event where professional athletes and recreational participants rub shoulders, united by their love of the mountains. We also get a sneak peek into future plans, including ski mountaineering races in Colorado and the much-anticipated episode with mountain running sensation Johnny Luna Lima. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about mountain sports and eager to witness Julian Carr's inspiring journey and ambitious vision.
