Biff America: Beer is Great, God is Good, People are Crazy

Jeffrey Bergeron, aka Biff America, has spent the last 50 years living in the mountains, mainly in Breckenridge, Colorado. Yet his signature accent and brash personality—rooted in the South Shore of Massachusetts—are as rich as they were the day he moved west. Likewise, his sharp and self-deprecating sense of humor is evident through his writing and, as you'll hear, in this episode. In addition to his columns that have run in Backcountry since 1994, he's also published two books under the Backcountry flag. Biff's colorful career has spanned stints on the radio and television, politics, and even a spell as a stand-up comedian. At the core of it all is skiing and mountain biking. Biff has logged 100-plus days on snow per season for the better part of five decades. Nowadays he spends most of his time skiing the backcountry, away from crowds and Breck's six-pack chairlifts. He finds inspiration for his writing in the skintrack, and simply by "paying attention" to the little things that make up his daily life. He travels the country in a camper with his mate, Ellen, chasing snow and singletrack and stories to share.  We caught up with Biff in between adventures to learn where the "Biff America" moniker came from and much more.
