  1. Number 1: TPM Episode 499: Seth Morrison, Legendary Skier

    Seth Morrison is the ski icon that I wanted to launch this podcast with 10 years ago, but Seth doesn't do interviews. He told me no for 3 years and I stopped bothering him. I gave it one last shot a few months ago and Seth said yes! Now, I'm able to end the 500-episode run of The Powell Movement with my favorite, every pro's favorite, every fan's favorite, and every industry person's favorite pro skier, Seth Morrison. This is the Sid Vicious looking ski pioneer that brought high consequence tricks to the backcountry, went bigger than everyone, and got the loudest cheers at all the movie premieres. In part one we talk about the early days and Pep Fujas, Lhotse Merriam Hawk, and Mike Jaquet ask the Inappropriate Questions. Seth Morrison Show Notes: 3:00: Why podcast, early days, family, skiing, warming, and Vail 20:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 22:00: Racing, finding the backcountry, who he looks up to, college, product he liked, compromise, his 37:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 43:00: The US Extreme's, full face, why was he better, Warren Miller, MSP, AK, guides, partying, working side jobs, early seasons, K2, the end of comps, and the heli crash 82:00: Inappropriate Questions with Pep Fujas, Lhotse Merriman Hawk, and Mike Jaquet

  2. Number 2: TPM Episode 500: Seth Morrison, Part 2, The Final Podcast

    Seth Morrison is my final and my most important podcast guest over the past 10 years. Welcome to episode 500 where Seth answers the questions we all want to know regarding his progression, his relationships with people like McConkey, his prolific pro career, the "cowardly" way he describes it ending, and a lot more. It's the last podcast with the legend, the myth, the ghost, the icon that is Seth Morrison. And, legends and Ski Hall of Famers Kent Kreitler, Chris Davenport, Mike Douglas, and Brad Holmes ask the Inappropriate Questions and snowboard legend Jeremy Jones makes a guest appearance.

  3. Number 3: TPM Episode 498: Rory Bushfield, Legendary Pro Skier/Personality

    Rory Bushfield is one of my favorite skiers/personalities, and I loved parts 1 and two of his podcast so much that I had to record a third time with Bushy Wayne before I close out the Powell Movement. Rory and I have already talked about a lot of important skiing history. Since we last recorded, Rory went viral with a Monster funded aviation stunt, and then he had a life altering accident that changed everything. While accepting life in a new body could crush some, Bushy still has that "blow it if you got it" mentality and he's already pushing the limits of what's possible in his new existence. On the podcast we talk about Bushland, death, grief, flying, the accident, and a whole lot more. Roy Tuscany asks the Inappropriate Questions. Rory Bushfield Show Notes: 3:00: Shane Szocs, death, 9 lives, pushing people to their limits, Danny Trejo, and Bushyland 20:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 22:00: Barefoot Pilot, his accident, healing with hallucinogens and Josh Dueck, and High Fives 37:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 39:00: New body, same Bushy, his many unique vehicles, Jet packs, and what's next 50:00: Inappropriate Questions with Roy Tuscany

  4. Number 4: TPM Episode 496: Markus Eder, Italian Olympian, FWT World Champion, Legend

    Markus Eder is the final European skier on the podcast and he's arguably the most important. Markus's career took off after he won an internet wild card to Nine Knights in 2010, then it exploded even more at Red Bull Linecatcher, and if that wasn't enough, he lit the web on fire with his 2021 "The Ultimate Run" release. Honestly, Markus may be the most versatile skier I've ever had on the podcast. A bold statement but the guy was a slopestyle athlete on the Italian Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, he's a film skier that consistently puts out segments, he was a Freeride World Tour athlete who won the whole tour in 2019, and he's spent the past two seasons standing on the podium at Travis Rice's prestigious Natural Selection events. I've been trying to get Markus on the show for years and this timed perfectly for him to give his opinions on FIS, federations, and the Olympics. Red Bull. Volkl, and "Legs of Steel" partner in crime, Paddy Graham asks the Inappropriate Questions. Markus Eder Show Notes: 3:00: Knee, Olympics, how it used to be, no coaching, Italian Team issues, and freeride in the Olympics 22:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 23:00: Will this impact film skiers, passion and style, his parents, racing, skiing year-round, knowing nothing about the new school, snowblading with snowboarders, and twin tips 42:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 43:00: Nine Knights, Palmer skis, Line Catcher, MSP Movement, The Ultimate Run, and FWT, and more but I forgot to keep taking notes 78:00: Inappropriate Questions with Paddy Graham

  5. Number 5: TPM Episode 495: Eric Pollard, Skiing Visionary, Legend

    Eric Pollard has had a bigger impact than almost anyone in skiing over the last 25 years. From being one of the pioneering switch and rail riders of the late 90's, to his mind-blowing ski designs, to his 20 years of video parts, to his award-winning media company Nimbus Independent, to the ski company he started (and was recently bought out of) Season, Eric Pollard has always been a visionary. And like many visionaries, a lot of his ideas were made fun of and misunderstood before they became cool mainstream. I've been trying to get Eric on the show for 10 years and this is truly a podcast with a living legend. Another legend, Andy Mahre, asked the Inappropriate Questions. Pollard Show Notes: 3:00: Season, child Hood, skiing, art, sports, ski racing, summer, snowboarding, no poles, 22:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 23:00: Style, racing, and Line 42:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 43:00: Ski design, people not understanding what he was building, early films, Idea, Nimbus, his leg injury, "Drawn from Here" and not owning Season anymore 78:00: Inappropriate Questions with Andy Mahre
