from Sponsored: The stories behind the skiers Hosted by Powder Radio
This week on the "Sponsored" podcast, Mike Douglas tells his story, including the time he first went skiing—on a school trip when he was in the fifth grade, at Vancouver Island's Mount Washington. "We went up there and felt that sensation of sliding on snow and the adventure that came with that, cruising down this forested run, I did this big long turn wondering what was coming up around the corner thinking, 'This is the coolest thing ever.'" Pretty much from that first day, that was the ultimate, and that's all I wanted to do."
