TPM Episode 497: Zeb Powell, Pro Snowboarder, Culture-Shifter
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Zeb Powell is the present and future of style in snowboarding and this week, it’s a Powell-on-Powell episode aka Two Powell’s One Pod. Like everyone, I’ve been blown away by what Zeb does on a 200cm+ board, off a knuckle, the vibe he brings to snowboarding,, and his creativity. I’ve wanted to get him on the show for a long time, and I’m stoked he’s my last snowboard guest. On the podcast, we talk about Brand Jordan, NC, his family, his path, Stratton, X, and so much more. I’m closing out snowboarding with a legend in the making and Zeb doesn’t disappoint. Zeb Powell Show...

TPM Episode 496: Markus Eder, Italian Olympian, FWT World Champion, Legend
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Markus Eder is the final European skier on the podcast and he’s arguably the most important. Markus's career took off after he won an internet wild card to Nine Knights in 2010, then it exploded even more at Red Bull Linecatcher, and if that wasn’t enough, he lit the web on fire with his 2021 “The Ultimate Run” release. Honestly, Markus may be the most versatile skier I’ve ever had on the podcast. A bold statement but the guy was a slopestyle athlete on the Italian Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, he’s a film skier that consistently puts out segments, he was a Freeride World...

TPM Episode 495: Eric Pollard, Skiing Visionary, Legend
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Eric Pollard has had a bigger impact than almost anyone in skiing over the last 25 years. From being one of the pioneering switch and rail riders of the late 90’s, to his mind-blowing ski designs, to his 20 years of video parts, to his award-winning media company Nimbus Independent, to the ski company he started (and was recently bought out of) Season, Eric Pollard has always been a visionary. And like many visionaries, a lot of his ideas were made fun of and misunderstood before they became cool mainstream. I’ve been trying to get Eric on the show for 10 years and this is truly a...

TPM Episode 494: Lisa Hudson, Action Sports Visionary
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Lisa Hudson was a professional beach volleyball player and champion for women’s volleyball before she started blazing a trail for women in action sports. Starting with the gravy days of Airwalk in the early 90’s, Lisa has always been a proven people connector who's fought for her fellow women because she could.

TPM Episode 493: Glen Plake Grand Finale
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I’ve interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn’t end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more. It’s another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen. Elan Trip of a Lifetime Show Notes: 3:00: Goon Squad, FIS, cultural tobacco and...

TPM Episode 492: Elan Factory Tour and Trip
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Elan Skis is a longtime sponsor, and they have been telling me for years that I would be visiting their factory in Slovenia to see their incredible ski process, factory, and culture. While I was flattered that they would even suggest bringing me out, I never expected it to happen. But it didn’t just happen, it happened in All-Time fashion. Not only did I get to travel to Europe and become great friends with a bunch of ski industry badasses, but we also got to see the Elan factory and meet the players. And the icing on the proverbial cake was that we sailed from Slovenia to Croatian an Elan...

TPM Episode 491: Best of Inappropriate Questions, Final Round
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Inappropriate Questions is how I end every show. The idea is that I find a friend of my guest and record 3 questions with them. The questions can be anything that gets the guest to tell a funny, crazy, embarrassing or really, any good story. The goal is to get some gold without pissing off my guest when I surprise them with the questions. This week, I have a long list of legends on this highlight show. Think Angel and Johnny Collinson, Stan Rey, Uncle E, Matt Reardon, Jaren Grob, Jeff Pensiero, Kevin Quinn, and many more. This is a fan favorite segment of the show, and the final...

TPM Episode 490: Errol Kerr, Pro Skier, Olympian
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Errol Kerr’s professional ski career is actually two ski careers. A race part, where he was so close to making the World Cup and the US Alpine Ski Team and the other was his ski cross career, which was kick-started when he became a fully funded member of the US Ski Cross Team in his first race. Errol has competed all over the world, raced for Jamaica in the 2010 Olympics, and was a regular at the X-Games. But, while his life seemed perfect, it hasn't always been, and we talk about the highs of winning, the lows of mental health issues, and everything in between. Connery Lundin...

TPM Episode 489: Ryan Schmies, Legendary Ski Artist
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Ryan Schmies is one of the most talented illustrators in action sports and his game changing ski art singlehandedly helped change the look and feel of skiing in the early 2000’s. While he’s best known for dark graphics like the Hellbent and Public Enemy franchises that he created during his 15 years at K2 Skis, in recent years Schmies' artistical talents have been showcased by brands like J Skis, Smith Optics, REI, Ikon Pass, and more. On the podcast we talk about coming up in Wisconsin, art, High North Ski Camp, athletes, and life in the ski industry. Members of the Cascade...

TPM Episode 488: Josh Berman, Legendary Ski Filmmaker
The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast
Josh Berman was an Ivy Leaguer on his way to becoming a professional skier when a catastrophic knee injury derailed his chances of becoming pro. But Josh’s passion for skiing was as strong as ever and pre-surgery, Josh strapped up his leg, headed up the mountain and went out and shot for his first Level 1 Production. What was supposed to be a 3-year adventure in filmmaking turned into an award-winning 25+ year career in snow. It’s one of those episodes that I had to record, for historical purposes, before I end the Movement. Freedle Cody asks the Inappropriate Questions. Josh Berman...
