TPM EPISODE 455: JESS HOTTER

Jess Hotter is the 2022 Freeride World Tour Champion and a fixture in ski movies but Jess wasn’t a ski prodigy or anything like that when she was coming up. She had a ski life and future that screamed “liftie” but Jess wasn’t going to settle for that. An initial push from her parents for a post high school gap year in Canada, created a ski journey that has had Jess living in more world class resorts than almost anyone on the podcast before she achieved her pro ski success. Jess played the long game, surrounded herself with what she loved, and it all worked out in the end. Yes, life can be that easy if you're as hard working and passionate as Jess. Australian legend Anna Segal asks the Inappropriate Questions.
