TPM Episode 316: Micah Evangelista, Pro Skier

Micah Evangelista isn't a household name in the ski world, almost by choice. Micah is the underground, soul-skier type whose love of being in the mountains comes from growing up in the shadow of Mt Baker in Glacier, WA. Micah is such a talent; I've always wondered why he hasn't blown up in the ski world. The podcast was the perfect platform to figure out why…we talk about getting into video early, Baker's deep snowboard history, Lucas DeBari, why bringing a big-name pro isn't the motivation for him, and a lot more.

Micah Evangelista Show Notes:

7:00: His tiny home, how the family ended up in Glacier, WA, skiing at six days old, school, and his insane work ethic in the mountains.

19:30: Challenging days in the mountains, who works harder, and Confluence

24:30: Best Day Brewing: All of the flavor of your favorite IPA or Kolsch, without the alcohol, the calories, and sugar.

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

27:30: Baker community, Lucas DeBari, Patrick McCarthy, and Henrick Harlaut

37:00: Not having a terrain park or freeride program, getting into video, what videos and who's editing was he was into, and sponsoring me tapes

44:30: Stanley: Get 30% off sitewide with the code drinkfast

Outdoor Research: The best outerwear ever built just got better; get 25% off all OR products with the code POWELL25

Peter Glenn Ski and Sports: Over 60 years of getting you out there

45:00: His lack of self-promotion or care to be pro, holding onto clips, and looking for long-term stability, and he should have been a skier in the 90s

60:00: Inappropriate Questions (and more) with Sophia Rouches and Mattias Evangelista
