The Blade Dive || Episode 16 || Brian “Tex” McCullar
"Tex" The Blade Dive Episode 16, we are joined by Brian "Tex" McCullar. Originally from Borger, Texas, McCullar is a transplant to California. The long time Bear Mountain & Snow Summit resort operations hero, McCullar has contributed to Superpark, Hot Dogs & Hand Rails and Xgames. McCullar has also established himself as a certified welder, installing Snowmaking at several different resorts. Currently holding the Grooming Manager title at Bear Mountain, Brian "Tex" McCullar's skill set speaks for itself through the final product thats on snow to shred
- Moving to California with his dad, McCullar took an interest in Snowsports and during the 1989 Winter season Brian took a job with Snow Summit teaching ski school lessons. Witnessing legends like Tom Sims shred down the hill past lessons he was teaching. Brian knew immediately that snowboarding was what he wanted to pursue.
- McCullar at one point pursued a pro Snowboarding career and was riding and representing brands like Joyride, SMP and claims that the biggest highlight was receiving his first paycheck for Snowboarding professionally. McCullar's trip to Tokyo, Japan was an experience he'll never forget, but regrets not enjoying the local cuisine.
- Brian has definitely been around his fair share of equipment, but his welding skill is second to none. McCullar has installed miles of Snowmaking pipe and has built and maintained some incredible terrain park features.
Episode 16 is truly a deep dive into the career of a legend in not only the Terrain Park world but overall resort operations. We discuss what its like navigating a career in the Snow Industry and the choices that can make or break you. We talk about being a listener and that broadening your skillset is vital to growth. There are lots of laughs while Tex revisits memories from Superpark as well as fields questions from other operators.
Enjoy... and if you're in the machine, go ahead and TURN THE VOLUME UP!
