TPM EPISODE 461: CHRIS DAVENPORT

Chris Davenport hasn’t been on the podcast in a few years and since then, a lot in his world has changed and lot has stayed the same. Dav still goes on more incredible adventures than almost anyone in the ski industry but these days he’s not looking for firsts or anything like that, he’s more focused on chasing powder while leading groups that froth over time with Dav in the mountains. He really has built something special with his career, but it hasn’t all been easy. On the podcast we talk about the business of Dav, the Peak Ski fiasco, moving forward with a brand he’s stoked on, DPS Skis, and a whole lot more. Mutual friend, lawyer, and hardcore skier, Malone Camp asks the Inappropriate Questions.
