TPM Episode 427: "Sick" Rick Armstrong, Pro Skier, Part 2


Listen Later

"Sick" Rick Armstrong may be the most interesting man in skiing. Not only is he a legendary member of the Jackson Hole Air Force, known for sending the biggest cliffs in Jackson and beyond, but he was also on the first wave of mountain biking and paragliding. If there isn't a level of risk and exploration to something, well, it's not for Rick. On part 2 of his podcast we talk about crazy boat trips, suffering for days in a tent, self-exploration, McConkey, Kreitler, beating cancer and so much more. Don't miss this one!
