Summary
Jeremy Jones is a busy guy: between writing and illustrating his new book, "The Art of Shralpinism," running Jones Snowboards, being the face and founder of Protect Our Winters, riding 28 days a month, and spending time with his family, it's amazing he even has time to do things like record this podcast and the Alpenglow Speaker Series. But Jeremy makes it happen, and on the podcast, we talk about all the above with some risks and McConkey sprinkled in. Sherry McConkey asks Inappropriate Questions.

| 0:00.0 | Have a seat on your porcelain throne. |
| 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 I hope everyone who lives in the mountains or near the mountains has started getting after it. |
| 0:23.0 | From the images I've seen, it's not all a single ribbon of death. |
| 0:26.6 | There's POW out there, and it has me jealous. |
| 0:29.1 | But I'm only a few weeks away from hitting the summit at Snow Kwame. |
| 0:32.4 | And while I won't be getting in the mountains as much this season, I'll be going. |
| 0:35.8 | And if you see me on the hill, |
| 0:43.7 | I'll be the guy rocking O-R gear and Alon skis. I expect a high-five. Why? Because you listen to the podcast or you feel bad about my wife who was diagnosed with cancer. And high-fives are appreciated, |
| 0:48.4 | and they make me feel good. And now it's time for the cancer update. Today is Friday. At the time I'm recording this intro, I've |
| 0:55.1 | already been in the hospital for five hours for a procedure for my wife, and I'm still waiting. |
| 0:59.4 | So this means that instead of getting home at noon for a 1 p.m. podcast with Jeremy Jones, |
| 1:04.0 | Big Mountain Jeremy Jones, that is, I'm going to get home at four, and this podcast may not happen. Now Jeremy has been super accommodating and I feel like a total |
| 1:12.5 | douche as I've pressured him to get this thing done this week and now I'm not available. So if the |
| 1:17.5 | podcast happens, major props to Jeremy Jones who has no idea what's going on in my life, but I've left |
| 1:23.2 | hints and he's being way too kind with his time, which, if I do my job right, you'll find is really |
| 1:28.9 | limited. But as important as this podcast is to me, my wife is way more important. So, Jeremy, I really |
| 1:35.9 | hope we get this done today. But if not, I'll be re-recording this intro to reflect the plan B that I have |
| 1:41.3 | in place. Regardless, it's going to be a long weekend of keeping my wife comfortable after this third surgery |
| 1:47.0 | and getting a show ready for Monday. |
| 1:49.3 | Really, I've been scrambling to get podcast shit done for the past few months. |
