Low Pressure Podcast: The Podcast For Skiers

Andrew Pollard is the current style master on the Freeride World Tour. He chooses lines that flow and features to link up that most of the other competitors don't even see.   We talk about his art and the similarities with his skiing,  his love for coaching the kids where he grew up at Alta / Snowbird, travelling on the tour and lots more.

Mark Warner and FWT announcer, Derek Foose, recap all the action from the third stop of the FWT season at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, British Columbia, Canada. We discuss the last minute venue change at Kicking Horse due to unsafe snow conditions and the incredible performances of the riders including those who made the cut and those who didn't.

Elisabeth Gerritzen is the defending Freeride World Tour champion, but she admits she has difficulty with that title. Eli talks about how she strives to be the best at what she does but always struggles to be satisfied with her own accomplishments and desires to learn to be kind to herself.   She's filming her own project this winter with an all female crew in front of and behind the lens. She's still competing on the FWT and is studying for her Masters Degree in Law. Impressive is the word we have for her.  Hopefully she can agree.

Chris Logan, (C-Lo) talks about his long relationship with Rossignol, doing a McDonalds ad and his preference to travelling with his truck vs. flying.

I guess we'll have to wait for that one.

Simon Shave and Clay Mitchell are CK9 Studios and are the hottest filmmakers in the biz right now. I'm talking specifically about movie making skills obviously. Originally called the Seadawgs, the duo grew up together as friends in Nelson, BC. After doing their own things for a while in their 20's, they reunited with the focus of ski films.  The two "apprenticed" for Sherpas Cinemas before they eventually left the nest to make the now classic, "Over Time" for Sammy Carlson. That film not only won awards but garnered attention from big commercial clients like BMW. The dawgs are at it again, recently winning four F3 awards for their work with Tatum Monod's project, "Passage", and Sam Kuch's, "Here Goes".  

Sam Kuch returns to the LPP freshly minted as the IF3 Male Standout Skier of the Year. He stopped by the Low Pressure Podcast Studios to talk about what’s changed in his life in the 3 years since he was last on the show including winning awards, firefighting, learning to paraglide and touring the country with the MSP Stomping Grounds premiere tour.
