Mountain In My Mind: When Ski Films Talk About What We Don’t


Listen Later

Filmmaker and skier John Padilla joins us to talk about his groundbreaking ski film series, Mountain In My Mind — a project that confronts mental health in mountain communities head-on. From losing his brother Jack to suicide, to creating a foundation and producing three powerful films, John shares his story of grief, action, and change. This episode covers the intersection of skiing, filmmaking, and mental health, diving into survivor’s guilt, therapy, depression, and the power of community.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us at [email protected]
