He opens up about the whirlwind year that led to his world title, what it's like navigating the business side of skiing at a young age, and how he's balancing competition, personal growth, and future planning. Marcus shares insights into his journey of finding an agent, managing real estate investments, and choosing independent study to enhance his knowledge, all while staying focused on skiing, and building a side hustle in fitness content. We also talk about how injury protection and in-season maintenance keep him sharp, and his views on how the Freeride World Tour compares to Natural Selection.

We saw some spectacular performances as well as some heartbreaking moments on the way to crowning 3 new World Champions as well as 4 first time winners in Verbier. The Legendary Bec des Rosses presented an extra challenge in the way of a very thin and dangerous snowpack which is something the athletes have been familiar with this year. It wasn't safe to drop in from the top this year so the riders had to choose from 3 separate start gates on the Bec and Petit Bec. 00:00 - Intro / Surefoot 13:23 - SNOWBOARD MEN 24:45 - SKI MEN  47:54 - SKI WOMEN 1:03:17 - BACKSLAP | Fan Emails ** 1:14:00 - SNOWBOARD WOMEN  Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YJ_Bw-_DZso ** Lily Bradley LPP Interview -  https://open.spotify.com/episode/1lDG1CFKsJLTI7zPQolfmk?si=404499794e3e4296 ---- * The Freeride Guide is Supported By*    Surefoot Custom Ski Boots - Ski the Surefoot Difference Insta360 X4 Action Cam - Save up to 47% off w/ Code "lowpressure" -  Skull Candy Headphones - 15% OFF w/ Code "WELCOME15"   Support the show with some Freeride Guide MERCH -> Freeride Guide Merch Shop ---- Send us an email! Tell us your hot take and we might read it on the show. [email protected] - Join our Freeride Guide Podcast FUN BET League: https://peakperformance.pronosticgames.fr/tribe/fac0332d-6096-469c-8859-08dd35506ec2 -Go to link above  -Click Leagues -Find the The Freeride Guide League -Join in and play along! --- About the Hosts:  Mark Warner is the Host of the Skiing's First Podcast, Low Pressure Podcast: The Podcast for Skiers.  Derek Foose is the FWT Broadcast Announcer and Head Coach at Whistler Freeride Club and both are huge Freeride Fans.
