"I think we are all addicted to the mountain air, to the torture and the suffering of it all." Lindsay Mann This week I'm joined by mountain guide Lindsay Mann. Lindsay is one of the most talented skiers I've ever met, is a hilarious adventure partner, and incredibly humble. In our conversation we talk about ideal clients and guides, best reading material on Denali, and how to stay aware in the mountains.
