TPM Episode 228: Shane Anderson, Pro Skier, Filmmaker

Shane Anderson was a key personality and image when skiing needed it the most, in the mid to late 90's.  While Shane had the Rockstar look, it was his tricks and the company he kept that thrust him to the forefront of the ski industry.  Part early big mountain guy and part new schooler, Shane rolled with the innovators of the sport until injuries got in the way.  On the podcast, we talk skiing, the Tahoe crew, Hollywood, and making documentary films.
