Marielle Thompson is the 2024 Ski Cross, Crystal Globe winner.  It's actually her fouth overall title which she can now place on the mantle alongside her gold and silver Olympic medals.  We talk about the evolution of Ski Cross as a sport and why Team Canada has been so dominant over the years.  She also shares how she manages the extensive travel spending weeks on the road at a time.  I ask her if she ever gets to ski any pow in between events and we talk also talk about our dogs and how she is also an excellent softball player.

Ming Poon is a very accomplished photographer and environmental advocate based in the outdoor Mecca of Lake Tahoe. His path up to this point took a very unexpected detour when he was thrust into the world of big business and a move to China after the death of his father.   We talk about Ming's constant evolution from aspiring guide to expat executive to photographer, environmentalist and then father and how he takes each new challenge and incorporates it into his very rich life.

Josh Daiek returns to the LPP!  This time we spoke in his kitchen in South Lake Tahoe on one of his rare off days.   Josh is a true workhorse with an energy dedicated to the projects he creates that is hard to rival.  One such project is the third installment to his "Mountain State" film project which highlights the lesser traveled mountain ranges in Nevada that host the epic lines he has become known for. The two of us also talk about skiing with dogs, training and safety in the mountains, the benefits of having no expectations and the difficulty balancing between work and play when you do what you love for a job.

Je Paq literally launched onto the scene when the clip of his triple front flip off the backside of Whistler Mountain went super viral. One trick doesn't make the skier though as he has been consistently showing us that his skiing ability isn't relegated to a single impressive moment. Je Paq is a true "ski bum", living in his car skiing and every single day. He tells us a few of his tips for keeping his gear dry, where to charge his phone to how to spend each night relaxing in a sauna. You'll even learn what to if you ever hit a black bear with a Honda Fit!
