Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Kendra sits down with Canadian Alpine Ski Team athlete Brodie Seger for a heartfelt and deeply personal conversation about life on the mountain and the strength it takes to keep going when the stakes are high on and off the slopes. Brodie opens up about his father’s battle with ALS, the lessons he’s learned through grief, and how those moments have shaped his mindset as a professional athlete. From training for the World Cup circuit to designing a tribute helmet that gives back to the ALS Society, Brodie shares what drives him to keep pushing forward. 

What is it you love about winter? Is it the thrill, the beauty, the stillness? As Canadian’s winter is part of our DNA. The snowy season is something that unites from coast to coast. For The Love of Winter, is a podcast that celebrates Canada’s longest season.
