Hello SnowBrains Podcast Fans, I'm your host, Miles Clark, with a quick Thanksgiving Week Update. 

We're taking this week off from the podcast, we'll be right back into again next week, and I wanted to give you a quick update on some of the amazing guests we have coming up this season 

Coming up on the podcast this season we have: 

Legendary Professional Freeskier Ingrid Backstrom.  The conversation I had with her went deep and we pulled out some really pivotal turning points in her life including how Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington may have been a key to her successful professional freeskiing career, how she has changed after her brother Arne passed away, and how losing her passport put her in the ski movies. 

Matchstick Productions Filmer and Editor Scott Gaffney.  Hearing Scott go over how the Game of GNAR came to be is pretty hilarious along with his funny stories from all the time he spent with his best friend Shane McConkey, his Lake Tahoe surfing addiction is also super interesting. 

PhD Psychologist & ski mountaineer Russ Costa who goes over Decision Fatigue, avalanche heuritics, how altitude effects the brain, and we basically cover why people do dumb shit in the mountains. 

Olympic Gold Medal Ski Racer and Alasaka helisking legend Tommy Moe sat down with us and told us all about his gold medal experiece, how it profoundly changed his life, we talking partying too much at times, and all kinds of Alaska heliskiing and mountain guiding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. 

Current World Cup & Olympic Skier Travis Ganong joins us and talk about the upcoming Olympics, what it's like to ski on the World Cup, and his insane freeskiing ability.  I've skied a bit with Travis at Squaw Palisades Tahoe and this guy could be perennially in the ski movies and already has been in a few major ski movies including Warren Miller. 

Founder and President of the Indy Pass, Doug Fish - I'm going to be speaking with Doug today and I'm fired up to learn more about the indpendent ski resorts of North America and what they're doing to 

So that's it for this update.  Have a great thanksgiving week and we'll look forward to beig with you next week on The SnowBrains Podcast
