Rachael Burks on Skiing, Shakespeare, Sweatpants, & More

Fact: we all need to strive to be more like Rachael Burks. Rachael is known for skiing burly lines and her signature backflip, but she is also known for her boundless enthusiasm — and in this conversation, that enthusiasm is on full display. Rachael and Jonathan Ellsworth discuss skiing and Shakespeare; her spot-on impression of Julian Carr; podiuming in a comp on rental skis; her best ski season ever; her abiding love of sweatpants, Star Wars, fantasy novels, Red Bull Rampage, and more. TOPICS & TIMES:Oxford, Shakespeare, & Dirty Sandwiches (2:53)Breaking into the ski industry (9:30)Learning to backflip with Julian Carr (17:10)Competing on rental skis (19:56)Rachael’s best ski season ever (23:42)GREENland Expedition (26:52)Fantasy & Star Wars & Sparkles (32:10)Why Rachael loves Red Bull Rampage (44:10)More books & music (49:32) Hosted on Acast.
