In this episode Carl talks about studying economics and filling in as the Peak Performance Team manager for the summer.

Evelina Nilsson's passion for skiing is woven together with her lifelong journey through spirituality. She and her siblings were inspired by their father's enthusiasm for skiing, in their home town of Luleå tucked right under the Arctic Circle, where she started ski racing at the early age of 6. At the age of 12, Evelina's life would take a serious detour as she developed a "severe" eating disorder. She explains how through hospitalization, support from her family and leaning into her spirituality helped her overcome the disease and put her on the path towards curating positive energy in her own life and encouraging the same in others. Evelina went on to compete in moguls then in freeride. She would go on to win her very first competition at the Scandinavian Big Mountain Championship which put her on the path to the Freeride World Tour. We speak about her love of Yoga, her current goals in skiing, filming with The Bunch, almost buying a hostel with her brother and lots more.

Simon Shave and Clay Mitchell are CK9 Studios and are the hottest filmmakers in the biz right now. I'm talking specifically about movie making skills obviously. Originally called the Seadawgs, the duo grew up together as friends in Nelson, BC. After doing their own things for a while in their 20's, they reunited with the focus of ski films. The two "apprenticed" for Sherpas Cinemas before they eventually left the nest to make the now classic, "Over Time" for Sammy Carlson. That film not only won awards but garnered attention from big commercial clients like BMW. The dawgs are at it again, recently winning four F3 awards for their work with Tatum Monod's project, "Passage", and Sam Kuch's, "Here Goes". |
