TPM Episode 439: Craig Murray, Pro Skier
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Craig Murray, aka Weezy Davis, is arguably the best skier in the world. Fresh off a win at Travis Rice’s Natural Selection, an event where Craig went head-to-head with the best big mountain skierrs in the world and showcased a different vision, speed and style than almost anyone else in the comp…But what’s different about Craig is how humble he is. While skiing is something that he does and he’s one of the best, he can easily get lost in the crowd off the hill because he has zero ego or need to be known. He's one of those guys that's the best at what he’s doing now, and at some...

TPM Episode 347: Cameron Talbott, Pro Skater
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Cameron Talbott is getting his first pro skate this week. What’s crazy is that Cam is 37 years old, and while he was a sponsored am for a long time, he didn’t achieve pro status until he was 25. While that’s impressive, what’s even more impressive are the hammers and creativity that define his skating. Not too bad for a kid who came up with nothing in Missoula, Montana.

It’s a good one, with a double dose of Inappropriate Questions featuring Erick Garcia and...

TPM Episode 436: Janelle Yip, Pro Skier
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Janelle Yip's path to becoming a pro skier was more unexpected than unconventional. She grew up as a skier on the slopestyle path, and while she loved it, being a comp skier wasn’t in the cards for Janelle. So, after a gap year led her to Revelstoke, Janelle never gave up on her pro skier dreams, giving herself a 5-year window to make it happen. In year one, Janelle met the crew that would become “The Blondes," altering the trajectory of her life. In what started as a play for free beer, “The Blondes” took the ski world by storm and, in turn, launched three ski careers. On the podcast,...

TPM Episode 434: Klaus Obermeyer, Inventor, Entrepreneur, Legend
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Klaus Obermeyer has had a bigger impact on skiing than any man alive, and when he wasn’t innovating the sport, he was in Aspen or traveling the world to ski.

TPM Episode 433: Garrett McNamara, Big Wave Surfer
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Garrett McNamara is a world record-breaking big wave surfer and one of the pioneers of sport. What’s crazy about Garrett’s story is that while he achieved pro surfer status early on, his career didn’t take off until his mid to late 30's when he became infatuated with riding giant waves. And then it exploded to the point where now, at 55, he’s launching his 3rd Season of his “100 Foot Wave” series with HBO. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in cults, Hawaii, being there for the beginning of tow-in surfing, being big in Japan, Northshore (the movie) his HBO series, and...

The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Charlie Hoch is a former pro snowboarder turned cannabis entrepreneur, which makes him the perfect guest for 420 week. When I say pro snowboarder, while Charlie competed amongst the likes of Travis Rice and was on the podium at some big events, his snowboard career won’t be what defines his existence; his success in the cannabis world will be. From developing the original ice bong to building his 100+ SKU empire today, Charlie could use snowboarding instead of having it the other way around, and on the podcast, we talk snowboarding, weed, and more.

TPM Episode 430: Stuart Rempel, Salomon, Olin, K2, Whistler
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Stuart Rempel has one of those resumes. If you look at it, you know that he has lived an incredible life, and it all started with a ski bum mentality. Stuart went from pounding nails and skiing winters to running Salomon NA, Olin, K2 Skis, and Whistler. Most people at that level have a few degrees and plenty of suits. That’s not Stuart, though. Throughout his career, he made it a priority to be on snow as much as possible, and the beta he gathered from the hill was used to make skiing better. It’s another great business episode with an important person in the hardgoods and resort...
