Summary

Angel Collinson was born into the ski world. She grew up in Snowbird employee housing, where she honed her race skills enough to barely not make the US Ski Team. With racing over, college and big mountain skiing competitions took over. Skiing won. Over the years there have been a lot of women who have pushed the envelope on snow but Angel transcends gender….she’s just a bad ass skier who charges harder than anyone these past few years…guy or girl. Her story is not what you expect…..

0:00.0	Stand to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:11.1	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:14.1	I'm your host, Mike Powell, and this week, Angel Collinson is my guest.
0:19.0	And if you don't know about her, well, where have you been the past few years?
0:23.5	Angel is one of those people who seems smallish and doesn't look like the badass that she is.
0:29.0	But then you see her ski. To me, she's the one skier where when you watch her part in a video,
0:35.1	if you don't know who's skiing on screen, you assume it's a guy.
0:38.6	At least I used to do that.
0:40.3	And now when I'm watching a TGR video, I sometimes find myself asking if that's Angel on screen
0:45.5	when it's just a random dude.
0:47.6	Where I'm going with this is you can't really tell gender from Angel skiing, and that's
0:52.3	awesome.
0:53.3	Angel's never been the token female. She's the one
0:56.0	that shows up at her first contest, wins it, and then takes the tour title for two years in a row.
1:01.7	She's also the one who starts to film and becomes the first woman to open a movie part in years,
1:07.4	and then the following year she becomes the first woman to close a movie part in years.
1:12.2	Angel Collinson sets the bar at a different level. And before we talk about that, I want to ask you
1:18.5	to follow me on Instagram at the Powell Movement, share my posts on Facebook, which not even my mom
1:24.2	seems to do, so I doubt you will, but I might as well ask you to do it.
1:27.6	One day it'll start happening.
1:29.7	And finally, I want to thank my sponsors.
1:32.1	They are Evo, Rescue Water, the 10 Barrel Brewery, Outdoor Research, and Spy Optic.
