Inside the Minds of Pro Skiers: Competition, Careers, & Close Calls w/ Dane Tudor, Todd Ligare, Amy Jane David, & Stinius Skjøtskift

At Blister Summit 2025, we brought together pro skiers Dane Tudor, Todd Ligare, Amy Jane David, and Stinius Skjøtskift for a wide-ranging and very candid conversation. These snowsports legends dove into everything from the current state of ski competitions to the moments that helped their skiing technique “click.” They share industry insights, career advice, and some hilarious personal stories — including how one of them nearly joined the military instead of becoming a pro skier.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

We’d love for you to share with us the stories or topics you’d like us to cover next month on Reviewing the News; ask your most pressing mountain town advice questions, or offer your hot takes for us to rate. You can email those to us here.
