Summary
Izzy Lynch's ski career was made by her unique childhood. She was an up-and-coming ski racer who spent her free time at the backcountry lodge her parents built.

On the podcast, we talk about the above, University, coaching, competing, gender filming for "Into the Mind," marriage, divorce, sponsors, and much more. Leah Evan's asks the Inappropriate Questions.
