TPM Episode 378: Jessica Sobolowski-Quinn, Pro Skier, Owner, Points North Adventures

Jessica Sobolowski-Quinn is a lifer in the ski industry. She's skied more powder than almost anyone on the planet over the past 20 years, which is what you'd expect from the owner of one of Alaska's premiere heli operations, Points North. But Jess didn't grow up chasing powder in helicopters; she was a D1 ski racer who made her way to Palisades after college. From there, she met famous friends, started skiing rowdy lines, lined up sponsors, and traveled the world to film for a decade and eventually reeled it all in to manage the family business she runs with her husband, Kevin Quinn. Ingrid Backstrom asks the Inappropriate Questions.
