Summary

Dale Rehberg is a living legend in the snowboard world. In the early 90’s he, and a few other legendary names, brought a style to snowboarding that was visibly influenced by skateboarding. While not accepted at first, it quickly became the norm and Dale’s fingerprints will forever be tied to the evolution of the sport. But Dale’s snow story doesn’t stop with being an athlete and we talk about his time on the board, in the boardroom and everything in between.
