Craig Murray, aka Weezy Davis, is arguably the best skier in the world. Fresh off a win at Travis Rice’s Natural Selection, an event where Craig went head-to-head with the best big mountain skierrs in the world and showcased a different vision, speed and style than almost anyone else in the comp…But what’s different about Craig is how humble he is. While skiing is something that he does and he’s one of the best, he can easily get lost in the crowd off the hill because he has zero ego or need to be known.  He's one of those guys that's the best at what he’s doing now, and at some point, he’ll be the best at something else. He’s smart, calculated, and who knows where life will take this guy. Finn Woods askes the Inappropriate Questions

Craig Murray Show Notes:

4:00: His nickname, traveling with no passport, his brother, does biking influence his skiing, his sister, his adventure racer parents, growing up without a TV and having a loose leash, and moving to Chamonix at 17

Mike Douglas is the legendary skier who helped change the direction the industry was going in the late 90s with the Salomon 1080. From there, he has filmed with everyone, had a long, productive career, and has been the brainchild of Salomon's Freeski TV for the past 16 years, and now is the ski point person for Travis Rice's Natural Selection Tour. Part one with Mike was long ago in episode 94, where you can hear his life and times. On this episode, we talk about his feature film that he is currently selling, all things Natural Selection Tour, and more. Award-winning journalist Les Anthony asks the Inappropriate Questions

Cameron Talbott is getting his first pro skate this week. What’s crazy is that Cam is 37 years old, and while he was a sponsored am for a long time, he didn’t achieve pro status until he was 25. While that’s impressive, what’s even more impressive are the hammers and creativity that define his skating. Not too bad for a kid who came up with nothing in Missoula, Montana.

On the podcast, we talk about growing up with less, his badass mom, finding community in skating, SF, Valo, and so much more. It’s a good one, with a double dose of Inappropriate Questions featuring Erick Garcia and Tom Hyser.

Janelle Yip's path to becoming a pro skier was more unexpected than unconventional. She grew up as a skier on the slopestyle path, and while she loved it, being a comp skier wasn’t in the cards for Janelle. So, after a gap year led her to Revelstoke, Janelle never gave up on her pro skier dreams, giving herself a 5-year window to make it happen. In year one, Janelle met the crew that would become “The Blondes," altering the trajectory of her life. In what started as a play for free beer, “The Blondes” took the ski world by storm and, in turn, launched three ski careers. On the podcast, Janelle and I talk about the influence of Windell’s, starting an all-girls ski crew, Intersection, MSP, and so much more. One of Janelle’s partners in crime, Emily Childs, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Janelle Yip Show Notes:

Klaus Obermeyer has had a bigger impact on skiing than any man alive, and when he wasn’t innovating the sport, he was in Aspen or traveling the world to ski. He was often found surrounded by a harem of beautiful women. In part 2 of his podcast, we talk about inventing sunscreen, mirrored sunglasses, ski brakes, the down jacket, and so much more.  It’s crazy the innovations and the fun that Klaus has brought to skiing over his 105 years

Klaus Obermeyer has had a bigger impact on skiing than any man alive, and when he wasn’t innovating the sport, he was in Aspen or traveling the world to ski. He was often found surrounded by a harem of beautiful women.  Klaus’s incredible story started 105 years ago in Hitler’s Germany where he was shot by Nazis trying to escape on his skis. From there, he came to America with nothing and eventually became one of the biggest business moguls in skiing. In part 1 of the pod-cast, we talk about making his skis, life in Nazi Germany, moving to the US with $10, Sun Valley, Warren Miller, and much more. This is mandatory listening with a wise man who’s lived more than almost anyone.

Garrett McNamara is a world record-breaking big wave surfer and one of the pioneers of sport. What’s crazy about Garrett’s story is that while he achieved pro surfer status early on, his career didn’t take off until his mid to late 30's when he became infatuated with riding giant waves. And then it exploded to the point where now, at 55, he’s launching his 3rd Season of  his “100 Foot Wave” series with HBO. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in cults, Hawaii, being there for the beginning of tow-in surfing, being big in Japan, Northshore (the movie) his HBO series, and much more. It’s another interesting one with a legend.

Khai Krepela is known for his prowess on rails, he made a career out of it, but really, he had a pro ski career because he realized what he was good at and he went all in on that aspect of the sport. But Khai didn’t stop at pro athlete, while he still had a little gas left in the tank, Khai found himself behind a desk at K2 for the beginning of his post pro ski career. On the podcast, we talk about inline skating, Park City, Detroit, filming, the X Games and more.  Olympic Head Judge Jason Arens asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Charlie Hoch is a former pro snowboarder turned cannabis entrepreneur, which makes him the perfect guest for 420 week. When I say pro snowboarder, while Charlie competed amongst the likes of Travis Rice and was on the podium at some big events, his snowboard career won’t be what defines his existence; his success in the cannabis world will be. From developing the original ice bong to building his 100+ SKU empire today, Charlie could use snowboarding instead of having it the other way around, and on the podcast, we talk snowboarding, weed, and more. 

Charlie Hoch Show Notes:

Stuart Rempel has one of those resumes. If you look at it, you know that he has lived an incredible life, and it all started with a ski bum mentality. Stuart went from pounding nails and skiing winters to running Salomon NA, Olin, K2 Skis, and Whistler. Most people at that level have a few degrees and plenty of suits. That’s not Stuart, though. Throughout his career, he made it a priority to be on snow as much as possible, and the beta he gathered from the hill was used to make skiing better.  It’s another great business episode with an important person in the hardgoods and resort world, and Stuart’s legendary neighbor, Mike Douglas, asks the Inappropriate Questions.
