Low Pressure Podcast: Skiing's First Podcast

Lucy Leishman is here!   She was just named iF3's Breakthrough Skier of the Year, and she's the first woman to win it. Her first real season as a pro skier saw her joining filming trips with Matchstick and The North Face.  On those missions she found how easy it was to be welcomed by her trip mates, who are also her heroes, on the road and in the mountains. The Nelson, BC skier talks about growing up at Whitewater, working as a forest firefighter in the summer and going from ski racing to freeride, then eventually shifting to filming.  We round things out talking about journaling and her love for sketching, setting performance goals and much more.   #LISTENTOSKIING Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nzoVr0jenVk The LPP is Supported by: X Games Club Whistler - https://www.xgames.com/xgl/xcwhistler/ This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign led by the Podpass agency for Blizzard. Explore the Canvas collection: https://bit.ly/lowpressure-blizzard Whistler Blackcomb's New Full Length Film "HOME" - https://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/explore-the-resort/discover/home.aspx   Follow the LPP Here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowpressurepodcast/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lowpressurepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowPressurePodcast

Simon Hillis returns and he's got big ideas and big news! In this episode, he gives us an LPP exclusive, announcing his new partnership with Nordica!  He also takes us inside the concept of a four-part film project he's working to develop that would create a original score to match the energy and the vibe the skiing portrays. The Bali born, Canadian raised skier is also exploring a shot at potentially representing Indonesia as its first ever Winter Olympian. Freeride makes its Olympic debut at the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps, and Simon, who competed in freeride when he was younger, talks about what it would take to get there. Simon also talks about his recent and prolific partnership with photographer Christoph Johann.  The two combined for 11 magazine covers last year with a couple more added this season.  #LISTENTOSKIING Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RSJAyeKQJ24 The LPP is Supported by: X Games Club Whistler - https://www.xgames.com/xgl/xcwhistler/ This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign led by the Podpass agency for Nordica.

We're launching LPP Season 13 with a BANG! Karl Fostvedt is here, fresh off winning the iF3 Film Award for Skier of the Year. We talk about the season that earned it, including the day he skipped our podcast to ski the best pillow line of his life! Karl tells a funny and fiery story from filming Brap Ski 4 and the lengths he'll go through to get the shot. He's quick to credit the people who've helped him along the way, and we get into what it takes to stay healthy and keep your body working through years of hard skiing. Karl also grew up in big family in Idaho and we learn that having 5 brothers isn't easy but having an X-ray machine on hand, is definitely an unexpected perk!  #LISTENTOSKIING Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bXkhLWWetPU The LPP is Supported by: X Games Club Whistler - https://www.xgames.com/xgl/xcwhistler/ This collaboration is part of an advertising campaign led by the Podpass agency for Blizzard. Explore the Canvas collection: https://bit.ly/lowpressure-blizzard Whistler Blackcomb's New Full Length Film "HOME" - https://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/explore-the-resort/discover/home.aspx   Follow the LPP Here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowpressurepodcast/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lowpressurepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowPressurePodcast

Marcus Goguen is the 2024 Freeride World Tour Champion. He opens up about the whirlwind year that led to his world title, what it's like navigating the business side of skiing at a young age, and how he's balancing competition, personal growth, and future planning. Marcus shares insights into his journey of finding an agent, managing real estate investments, and choosing independent study to enhance his knowledge, all while staying focused on skiing, and building a side hustle in fitness content. We also talk about how injury protection and in-season maintenance keep him sharp, and his views on how the Freeride World Tour compares to Natural Selection. We wrap things up with what's next as he begins to carve his own path both on and off the mountain. #LISTENTOSKIING Watch this Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gXqPVYaHd00 The LPP is Supported by: Insta360 X5 Action Cam - Use Code "lowpressure"  -  Get a new Insta360 X5 Camera and receive a FREE Accessory  Skull Candy Headphones - 15% OFF w/ Code "WELCOME15" -    Follow the LPP Here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowpressurepodcast/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lowpressurepodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowPressurePodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/lowpressureski?lang=en
