Summary

Our guest today is Camille Jaccoux, the co-founder of Black Crows Skis. This is Camille’s 2nd time on the Blister Podcast, and you should check out Blister Podcast ep. 64, where I talked to Camille and Black Crows head ski designer, Julien Regnier, about the history of Black Crows. 


This time, we talk about growing up in Chamonix and Camille’s background in skiing; what Black Crows is doing to grow the brand while trying to stay true to the reasons why they started the company in the first place; we discuss the lost art of ski ballet, who would win today in a mogul comp between Camille and Glen Plake, and get predictions for this upcoming season.

Hey everybody and welcome back to the Blister podcast.

0:05.8

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing,

0:12.3

plus all of our other podcasts over at blisterreview.com.

0:19.5

Our guest today is Camille Jacquesou, the co-founder of Black Crow's Skies.

0:25.8

Now, this is Camille's second time on the Blister podcast, and I'd encourage you to check

0:30.6

out Blister podcast episode number 64, because it's a really nice supplement to today's conversation.

0:38.4

In that previous conversation, I talked to both Camille and Black Crow's head ski designer

0:43.9

Julian Renier about the history of Black Crows.

starting anything. So I recommend paying close attention to what Camille has to say on those

1:41.2

topics in the second part of this conversation. But ladies and gentlemen,

that's not all. Camille and I also discuss the fine but lost art of ski ballet. We talk about
