Threshold sits down with double Junior World  Champion and the youngest winner of the American Birkebeiner, Johnny Steel Hagenbuch. We get into the environment and circumstances of Hagenbuch’s development, his part in the young group of American men who shined like no Americans before at the junior level, his college plans, his long-range skiing aspirations, and of course, winning the Birkie at age 19.

This episode of Threshold is sponsored by SALOMON. Recognizing that the future existence of skiing is directly impacted by climate change, Salomon is confirming that sustainability will be a major aspect of its performance parameters in future winter sports products.

The first of those sustainable products is the new S/MAX eSKIN Nordic ski, the company’s first ski constructed with a sustainable mindset, with its core constructed with recycled plastic bottles.
