TPM Episode 409: Alexi Godbout, Pro Skier, Filmmaker


Listen Later

Alexi Godbout was born to ski instructor parents and was on his way to a pro skier future from a young age. He did the standard, started with ski racing, graduated to moguls, and then got his master's in park skiing. He went from local kid, following new school legend Philou Poirier, to a pro Salomon contract at 14 and a 20+ year pro ski career that, after years of podiums, shifted to the big mountains where he makes his "Blank Collective" films today. On the podcast, we talk about getting sponsored early, beating Tanner and Henrik at the ISPO Awards, injuries, big mountains, and more. Stan Rey asks the Inappropriate Questions.
