TPM Episode 257: Zach Crist, Pro Skier

Zach Crist may have the most complete ski career of any athlete I've had on the podcast--other than his older brother Reggie. Coming up in Sun Valley, Zach achieved his goal of making the US Team, but it wasn't all the glory that it sounded like and after a second knee injury and retirement, Zach started collecting X-Games medals. From there he became a guide, went to AK to film, invested in some ski related real estate and we talk about the high's the lows, and the tragedies and triumphs on the podcast.
