Mark Mackay is a country music star in the making, but his background as a ski rep makes him the perfect new business episode. His road to Nashville included stints with Rossignol, Dynastar, and Atomic, all by the time he was 20. He was the head sales rep in California when Atomic started exploding, he had a dream job, he was young, and he left it all for the lucrative world of medical sales. Soon after, he had a life-changing epiphany on a paddleboard and, within an hour, quit his job, broke his lease, and went all in on being a country music star, and so far, it’s been working.

Darian Boyle is one of the pioneering athletes who helped usher the free ski movement to the forefront of the sport, but Darian is so much more than just a champion skier. She’s a model, a lifeguard, a paddleboarder, a boat builder, a marina owner, a bartender, a surfer, a Hobie cat racer, a moto rider, and a mom. She hasn’t slowed down since she started chasing her brothers when she was little. On the podcast, we talk about her incredible ski career, modeling career, television career, her injuries, and so much more. Roy Tuscany is on point in asking the Inappropriate Questions.

Adrian Ballinger is a machine for managing risk in the big mountains. Whether he’s leading adventures with his Alpenglow Expeditions, summiting Everest or K2 without supplemental oxygen, or just living his rad Tahoe life, there never seems to be a chill moment in Adrian’s life.

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.

Connery Lundin’s ski career should be as prolific as he’s manufactured it to be. This is a kid from Oakland who was so burnt out on ski racing that he decided at 18 that he would never ski. That all changed with the right roommates, who got Connery back into skiing on his terms…and once Connery fell back in love with the sport, he went all in on becoming a pro skier. But, to make things harder for himself, he didn’t do much to promote himself off snow…. but that didn’t matter, and it all worked out. Connery graduated to his day job of filming with Warren Miller and MSP, and we talk about it all….

In this episode, National Journal Managing Editor Mackenzie Weinger dives in deep with climate reporter Brian Dabbs on the emerging issue of forest fires in Northern California and what help the federal government is providing local leaders on the ground. Listen as Dabbs breaks down his findings from his recent trip to the Tahoe National Forest.

It's a triple-threat match on the mic this week on the Bellas Podcast!

The Bellas are together again in Tahoe, and Nikki kicks off the episode next Brie...but will they last the whole show together?

The whole Bellas Family has loved the time together in the great outdoors with adventures that include hikes, swimming, and nature photography excursions. Buddy has been on the hunt for snacks, Birdie's loved giving directions to all the adults, and Matteo has been throwing as many rocks in the lake as possible.

Nikki & Brie came to the realization that they are in a much different phase of life now because of the visceral reactions to watching people do shots at the beach and candid disappointment with the latest crop of suits that the swimwear industry popularized for moms. When it comes to life on the beach in bathing suits, they're looking for the MILF cut.

Nikki has been worn out after an intense weekend with Matteo. He caught a stomach bug, and she's been Nurse Nikki for the past few days as she does everything she can to help a struggling Matteo feel better. With rocket-powered vomit happening in the house, Brie's washing machine has been operating at max capacity the entire time.

Nikki has to tap out, but the Bellas Podcast welcomes Brie's husband, Bryan Danielson, for a new game: Bellas Choice. A game that leads to some startling revelations. Could Bryan really fake his own death? And why wouldn't he tell Brie if he did it? This is a game you won't want to miss.

The episode closes out with Bryan telling Brie his choice for this week's Inspiration & Affirmation and what function it plays in his role as a father and husband in the Danielson Family.

Follow Bryan on Instagram. 

Send Bryan your ideas on how he can fake his own death on Twitter.

Une fois n’est pas coutume, on essaye une voiture de vingt ans d’âge : née en 2000, arrêtée en 2006, la seconde génération de Chevrolet Tahoe a été officiellement importée dans l’Hexagone. Mais peu diffusée. Ce qui rend l’essai d’autant plus intéressant ! Nous voici pour quelques jours au volant d’un exemplaire de ce SUV américain d’une époque aujourd’hui révolue. Il a 20 ans et près de 250 000 km au compteur : avec quelques années de retard, voici notre essai du Chevrolet Tahoe, second du nom !

Dave Amirault, aka “Digi Dave” was a visionary in the ski industry at a time the industry really needed it. Dave got into skiing around the time that websites had digital counters on them and by merging his affinity for tech and sliding on snow, Dave created a snow focused career that took him from Sunday River to Freeskier Magazine, to Aspen, to Sierra, and finally, to Snowbird. On the podcast, we stay away from a lot of the nerd stuff Dave is known for and ask the question, did “coming out” force him out of his most successful position in skiing?

Paul Crandell is more connected to radical people than anyone I’ve had on the podcast.  LP, as he’s known, has done everything when it comes to events.  He started as the banner guy, complete with all the zip ties and in just a couple years, he became the puppet master, complete with all the Red Bull budgets.  After a decade of creating and executing the most important events in the world, it was onto the GoPro rocket ship, where he experienced the pain of going public, cashed out and is now all about kindness.
