Summary

My guest in this month’s episode set out with a good friend to ski some specific objectives. They started from sea level and toured way up the mountain. This incident happened in Songdal, Norway. The two of them had a steady ski tour and took the most direct route. Unfortunately, the weather changed and the higher they got, the worse the snow conditions became. This interview is one of only a handful of international episodes that I have produced and I want to help him share his story because Par is a survivor. He has tenacity and grit, and I am so excited for you to hear his full story. This podcast is produced by Ashley Saupe. This podcast is sponsored by Rocky Talkie and the American Alpine Institute. → 10% off Rocky Talkie radios at RockyTalkie.com/SharpEnd → Use code SHARPEND to waive the activation fee on ZOLEO → 10% off LIVSN clothes with code SharpEnd10 (limited to 30 uses) → 15% off Swoop garments with code SHARPEND → 20% off First Aid contents at MyMedic.com with code SHARPEND20 Instagram: the_sharp_end_podcast YouTube: @thesharpendpodcast Become a Patron: patreon.com/thesharpendpodcast Visit my website: www.thesharpendpodcast.com
