TPM EPISODE 499: SETH MORRISON
/Seth Morrison is the ski icon that I wanted to launch this podcast with 10 years ago, but Seth doesn’t do interviews. He told me no for 3 years and I stopped bothering him. I gave it one last shot a few months ago and Seth said yes! Now, I‘m able to end the 500-episode run of The Powell Movement with my favorite, every pro’s favorite, every fan’s favorite, and every industry person’s favorite pro skier, Seth Morrison. This is the Sid Vicious looking ski pioneer that brought high consequence tricks to the backcountry, went bigger than everyone, and got the loudest cheers at all the movie premieres. In part one we talk about the early days and Pep Fujas, Lhotse Merriam Hawk, and Mike Jaquet ask the Inappropriate Questions.
