Listen to the last episode:
Micah Black has never been a timid persona and today he shares what it was like to Show Up for some of the most pivotal era of modern skiing.
If you love skiing, it's hard to sometimes not be nostalgic for a time when a day pass didn’t cost two hundred dollars and ski towns weren’t some of the most expensive places in the country to live. I think now and then most of us imagine what it would have been like to live in Jackson in the 90’s or to be skiing when fat skis were radically new tech and the world of freeride skiing was just being created.
Micah Black and I go through his story from riding on his dad’s shoulders as he skied to riding with the Jackson Hole Airforce. He was there when extreme skiing wasn’t the dialed-in, polished sport it is today and rode that wave into the pages of Powder Magazine and into Teton Gravity Research segments.
We also talk about the price he paid to make that life possible, about the toll that takes not only on your body but on your mind. We discuss what the years of taking risks do to you and how you come back from that.
Here is one of Micah’s most legendary lines in the Jackson Hole backcountry.
