48. Lessons From Skiing Out of a Helicopter and Off the Berlin Wall, from Hall of Famer Dan Egan

Today we have our first hall of famer on the podcast, and it is with great pleasure that I introduce Dan Egan, member of the Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, extreme athlete, filmmaker, soccer coach, and all around connector. In our conversation, we talk about the development of extreme sports, what it is like to jump out of a helicopter on skis, and off of the Berlin wall on skis, and how skiing has helped Dan interface with the world and people. We also discuss Dans’ experience working with and learning from Warren Miller, his recent book 30 Years in a White Haze, and talk skiing and outdoor style, from duct tape to Alps and Meters. In this episode we really find our way about the entire slope, and talk with Dan about our place in nature and different ways to experience the natural world.Don’t forget to check out his book 30 Years in a White Haze, and his work on the Designed By Tradition podcast.
