Summary
Jeremy Nobis is a living legend who describes his life and times on skis as often misunderstood. But I believe there is no misunderstanding; Jeremy was a race prodigy, making the US Ski Team at 16 and racing in the World Cup until he was 26 years old. Then, Jeremy transitioned to the big mountains, and singlehandedly changed the way people ski them. In part 1 with Nobis, we discuss coming up in Park City with a chip in his shoulder, ski racing, the US Ski Team, the Olympics, injury, and more. Jeremy speaks his mind without a filter, and you don't want to miss this podcast

| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week I've been gifted with another week of skiing. |
| 0:22.0 | The good folks at the summit at snow Kwame will be open and I'll get my final days of skiing in. |
| 0:27.8 | And it's not just the summit that's extended the season. |
| 0:30.6 | For all the shit I talk about Crystal Mountain, they are going to be open through May 30th. |
| 0:35.2 | And while it can be a shit show there during the prime time of ski season, parking and |

| 1:06.0 | This would totally suck, as I've been recovering from this stupid thumb injury for three months already, |
| 1:11.5 | and if I have to have surgery, it'll be a full on year before I'm totally normal again. |
| 1:16.2 | But really, I'm fine. I have not much to complain with. My body is pretty healthy. |
| 1:20.9 | I look at people like Scott Gaffney, who had a terrible crash this week, and he's got a lot |
| 1:25.2 | more recovering than I've got to do. And if you listen to what |
