Ming Poon is a very accomplished photographer and environmental advocate based in the outdoor Mecca of Lake Tahoe. His path up to this point took a very unexpected detour when he was thrust into the world of big business and a move to China after the death of his father.   We talk about Ming's constant evolution from aspiring guide to expat executive to photographer, environmentalist and then father and how he takes each new challenge and incorporates it into his very rich life.

Josh Daiek returns to the LPP!  This time we spoke in his kitchen in South Lake Tahoe on one of his rare off days.   Josh is a true workhorse with an energy dedicated to the projects he creates that is hard to rival.  One such project is the third installment to his "Mountain State" film project which highlights the lesser traveled mountain ranges in Nevada that host the epic lines he has become known for. The two of us also talk about skiing with dogs, training and safety in the mountains, the benefits of having no expectations and the difficulty balancing between work and play when you do what you love for a job.

This is the full RECAP of the FWT24 Yeti Verbier Xtreme This fifth, and final, event of the season was the cherry on top of an amazing, record breaking cycle of the Freeride World Tour. This comp had drama. It had suspense. It had runs that once again pushed forward progression of the sport and it had riders who wouldn't know if they'd be champions until the last rider crossed the finish. 0:00 - Derek’s Vibes and Weather Report 6:20 - All Star Forerunners 10:07 - 2 different start gate 18:30 - Snowboard Women 26:44 - Ski Women 51:51 - Snowboard Men 1:04:42 - Ski Men Watch this episode of THE FREERIDE GUIDE on YouTube - https://youtu.be/nCvb6Va14Kw?si=LqeJsPT_cXd8XY7z ------- This the first seaon of the FREERIDE GUIDE so we need you to help us grow!  If you like the show, please SUBSCRIBE and Listen to every new episode! -------- About the Hosts:  Mark Warner is the Host of the 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.

Je Paq literally launched onto the scene when the clip of his triple front flip off the backside of Whistler Mountain went super viral. One trick doesn't make the skier though as he has been consistently showing us that his skiing ability isn't relegated to a single impressive moment. Je Paq is a true "ski bum", living in his car skiing and every single day. He tells us a few of his tips for keeping his gear dry, where to charge his phone to how to spend each night relaxing in a sauna. You'll even learn what to if you ever hit a black bear with a Honda Fit!

Stinius Skjøtskift ( pronounced Shot-Shift) is a Norwegian skier who's path to becoming a pro athlete has been determined by several fateful moments and his willingness to just "go with it". Trying to join the military and being denied, then accepted led to him winning a couple freeride comps all while Dj-ing nightclubs on the weekends, as a teenager. Listen to him tell his fascinating journey.   We also talk about the new film he's in, "Lexicon", which was produced by Arc'teryx and features skiers from 6 different countries all travelling to Japan to enjoy deep powder. Along the way they uncover the universal language of skiing.  A Lexicon that emerges through the act of being present and connected. #LISTENTOSKIING WATCH Stinius' episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fKh9dqHiToo Latest from the LPP:  https://linktr.ee/LowPressurePodcast Our Awesome Partners: CMH Heli Skiing and Summer Adventures Peak Performance Kicking Horse Mountain Resort & Tourism Golden   Follow the LPP Here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowpressurepodcast/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lowpressurepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowPressurePodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/lowpressureski?lang=en

Maxime Chabloz is a RedBull athlete for two different sports and he competes on two different World Tours, simultaneously!  One being The Freeride World Tour, which he won in 2022, and the other he kite boards on the GKA Kite World Tour. Max explains how he's able to juggle both, sometimes flying from one event in the mountains to another on the beach and back again.  The Swiss born Chabloz is as unique as his story which is laid out in the recent film on his life,  Petit Suisse, which follows him around the globe with an un-intrusive, fly on the wall perspective. #LISTENTOSKIING WATCH Max's episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y8foiYKPpks Latest from the LPP:  https://linktr.ee/LowPressurePodcast Our Awesome Partners: CMH Heli Skiing and Summer Adventures Peak Performance Kicking Horse Mountain Resort & Tourism Golden   Follow the LPP Here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowpressurepodcast/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lowpressurepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowPressurePodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/lowpressureski?lang=en
