In this episode we dive into Project Sisu with Pyry Hyppölä — a backcountry skier and adventurer who’s got BIG plans in Norway this season. Pyry’s Project Sisu isn’t about chasing aesthetic lines or accumulating vertical meters (though there’s plenty of that in Lyngen) — it’s a mindset rooted in ethics, perseverance, resilience, and the kind of determination the Finns call sisu.

Welcome to A Guide in Life — the official Outmap podcast hosted by Charlie Boscoe, Outmap’s Head of Content and a lifelong mountain obsessive.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a life around outdoor adventure, backcountry exploration, and the mountains we love, this show is for you.
Each episode dives deep into the real stories behind the people who shape mountain culture — from IFMGA mountain guides and elite athletes to ski patrollers, avalanche experts, filmmakers, and outdoor creators who’ve turned passion into purpose. We explore how they made the bold decisions that led them to a life lived in the mountains, uncovering the habits, risks, sacrifices, and unexpected moments that guided their journeys.
A Guide in Life isn’t just a podcast about skiing, climbing, or backcountry sports — it’s about choosing a path that reflects who you are. Expect honest conversations, practical wisdom, and plenty of inspiration to fuel your next adventure, whether you’re planning a big trip, switching careers, or simply dreaming of more time outside.
New episodes drop every two weeks. Plug in during the drive to the trailhead, on your hike, or wherever your adventures take you — and join us as we learn from the people who have made the mountains their life’s work.
