Summary
Phil Casabon doesn't do many interviews…what he's known for is style on his skis and there aren't too many in the world today that make skiing look as good as Phil. While he has two X Games Gold Medals in the Real Snow category and competed, that's not what Phil is all about. He's about edit's that focus creativity and style. On the podcast we talk coming up, Henrik, Wu-Tang, plants, fungus, and a lot of skiing and style. It's a must listen podcast.

| 0:12.0 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week my guest is a guy that I've been trying to get on the show for a while. |
| 0:21.5 | He's known to the world as B-Dog, but if you don't know him as that, his name is Phil Casabon. |
| 0:27.1 | Phil is one of those once or twice a generation skiers that is different than the rest. |
| 0:32.1 | While everyone wants to make their skiing look good, Phil's brand of skiing is the definition of style. |
| 0:38.3 | Rather than spending his career focusing on doubles and crazy spins, Phil has focused on |
| 0:43.1 | style before everything. |
| 0:45.2 | And between the way he skis and the way he edits, his brand of skiing is truly one of a kind. |
| 0:50.7 | And on top of that, he's a super interesting guy. |
| 0:54.1 | Before we get into the podcast, this is the |
| 0:56.0 | place where I'd normally share a little bit about what I did during the trade show in Denver, |

| 1:22.4 | They are Evo, Stanley, Spy Optic, 686 and the 10 Barrel Brewery. Now, let's talk to Phil Casabon. |
| 1:31.8 | I guess we should start this thing off with your injury. I think you received a right of passage |
| 1:36.6 | as a skier and did your ACL or did something to your knee. What'd you do and how'd you do it? |
| 1:42.4 | Yeah, I torn my ACL ligament. |
| 1:45.7 | Early December, I just started getting after it pretty early on with my good friend, Brady, |
