Spot Insurance - US Health Insurance Sucks, Medical Bills Are The #1 Cause of Bankruptcy in America, Spot Can Help Episode #43 Brought to you by Peak Skis & Scarpa Boots  My guest today is Spot Insurance CEO Matt Randall The health insurance system we have in the USA today is broken and medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America.  I personally have paid over $24K in the past 7 years for my skiing injuries and treatments. Spot has created an affordable health insurance system designed for the adventurous that pays 100% of your medical deductible.  I know that it sounds too good to be true, so I'll let you hear from Matt on where Spot is, who they cover, and what the future holds for Spot and America's messed up health insurance system. This episode of the SnowBrains Podcast is brought to you by Peak Skis: Can a ski change your life? Peak’s new all mountain skis by Bode Miller and sidecountry skis by Chris Davenport just might. That’s not marketing hype. The all new Peak Ski Company didn’t launch last spring to improve versatility incrementally—the company is built on innovation. Peak Skis take versatility to a new dimension. It begins with KeyHole Technology™, a winning innovation that Bode stumbled upon during his World Cup days that allows for a more manageable ride off trail but more underfoot beef when you want to push the pace. Paired with Peak’s reduced sidecuts, which allow for fluid turns of all shapes without that hooky feel, Peak Skis make skiing more fun. And fun is life changing. Snowbrainers understand the powder skier’s conundrum: You bring the fat skis to the hill to float and surf in the trees—but on the frontside hardpack the big skis skitter. Meet the Peak 104 with Bode Miller’s KeyHole Technology™. They’re playful, and buoyant, but you can charge groomers on ’em, too. It’s Bode’s daily driver at Big Sky. The storms are rolling into Tahoe. In Montana, home to Peak Ski Company, new snow and a deep freeze is preserving the early dumps. In Utah, the zealots are hiking for turns at Alta. You know all this, which is why you’re asking yourself: “Are my skis going to get me through another season?” If the answer is no—and the answer is often no—you need to check out the madly versatile Peak 98SC by Chris Davenport. It leaves trenches inbounds, but it’s light and forgiving enough for the backcountry, too. This episode is brought to you by Scarpa Boots: Power, precision, and sustainability come together to create the Quattro XT by SCARPA – a perfect boot for hard chargers, looking to ski both in and out of the ski area boundary. The Quattro XT is the lightest, GripWalk ski boot in the hybrid class and with a flex index of 130 for men and 110 for women, performance is not sacrificed with weight savings.  The QUATTRO XT’s cuff and shell are made from renewable plant based sources which hold up to aggressive skiing, while treading light on the planet. Creating a ski boot to fit both the needs of one of the world’s most accomplished big mountain skiers and a World Cup ski

Scot Schmidt - The Original Freeskier Episode #36 Brought to you by Ikon Pass  My guest today is the legendary Scot Schmidt: Scot was the very 1st professional freeskier in North America He created the genre and he did it with style Scot's intro into the ski industry was him dropping a 100' cliff at Squaw Valley Palisades Tahoe, California in the 1983 Warren Miller Ski Movie and as he drops the monstrous cliff Warren says:  "Scot Schmidt, his parents raised him wrong." Scot has been in at least 46 ski movies His style is smooth and tight and cameramen ate it up upon first sight Scot was discovered by a Warren Miller filmmaker who was visiting Squaw Valley in 1983 - all the filmmaker had to do was say:  "I wanna film whoever it is making those tracks" It was Scot who was making "Those tracks" the tracks that stood out and took him to the highest heights of ski stardom Scot traveled the world making ski movies for 25-years before settling down in Big Sky, Montana so he could ski more (there's a lotta standing around in ski movie making) Scot was even a stunt double for Dexter Rutecki in the legendary Hollywood ski movie:  "Aspen Extreme" Scot has been sponsored by the North Face for 30-years and while there he designed a line of ski mountaineering clothing called Steep Tech that is worth 3 times more than what it sold for back in the 80s and 90s.
