Summary

Part 2 with Ingrid Backstrom is a much heavier episode. Ingrid and others were changing the face of big mountain skiing, and when you take that kind of risk, there’s bound to be consequences. This week, Ingrid and I talk about working in a male-dominated industry, gender differences in the mountains, risk, losing people in the mountains, and a lot more. Elyse Saugstad asks the 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 holy crap, time flies.
0:20.8	I can't believe we're almost at Christmas
0:22.7	and I totally forgot to wish my fellow Jews a happy Hanukkah. I feel like things have been so
0:27.7	busy that I've been missing a lot of the important things, like skiing. But I have skis at
0:33.0	the shop being mounted up as we speak, a couple new pair of Alon playmaker twin tips that I'm stoked on
0:39.2	and I'll be shredding on next week. I need to thank Ben Fresco over at Alon skis for putting me on the
0:44.2	best, most quality skis on the market. I am always dialed with ski products, so thank you, Ben.
0:49.4	I also want to say thank you to K2 boot engineer Tom Petrowski. I'm sure I'm messing up his last name,
0:55.1	but Tom always hooks me up with boots. I'm currently skiing on the Sammy C Pro model,
0:59.9	and my kid just got a brand new pair of K2 Boa boots. And my son has a problem with a high
1:05.4	instep. And whenever we buckle down over those veins that go across his feet, his feet go numb.
1:10.6	But the boa with the
1:11.6	K2 boots have solved that problem. It's kind of that gradual pressure instead of those three
1:16.0	pressure points that's really making a difference in his foot. So thank you to Tom, thank you to Ben.
1:20.7	And my final thank you goes to Josh Lubbock, who hooks me up with Nima vitamins. They have been
1:25.4	fueling me for the past couple of years.
1:31.5	And if you need that extra energy boost in your day, I highly recommend NEMA vitamins.
1:37.6	You can check them out over at nima.com. That's n-I-I-M-A.com. If you want a discount code for Nima, shoot me an email at Mike at the Powell Movement.com. That's also the email address for your
1:42.7	questions and concerns, which I hope you send over my way. That's also the email address for your questions and concerns, which I hope you
