TPM Episode 495: Eric Pollard, Skiing Visionary, Legend

Eric Pollard has had a bigger impact than almost anyone in skiing over the last 25 years. From being one of the pioneering switch and rail riders of the late 90's, to his mind-blowing ski designs, to his 20 years of video parts, to his award-winning media company Nimbus Independent, to the ski company he started (and was recently bought out of) Season, Eric Pollard has always been a visionary. And like many visionaries, a lot of his ideas were made fun of and misunderstood before they became cool mainstream. I've been trying to get Eric on the show for 10 years and this is truly a podcast with a living legend. Another legend, Andy Mahre, asked the Inappropriate Questions.

Pollard Show Notes:

3:00: Season, child Hood, skiing, art, sports, ski racing, summer, snowboarding, no poles,

22:00: Elan Skis: Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.

23:00: Style, racing, and Line

42:00: Outdoor Research: The best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond

43:00: Ski design, people not understanding what he was building, early films, Idea, Nimbus, his leg injury, "Drawn from Here" and not owning Season anymore

78:00: Inappropriate Questions with Andy Mahre
