TPM Episode 490: Errol Kerr, Pro Skier, Olympian

Errol Kerr's professional ski career is actually two ski careers.  A race part, where he was so close to making the World Cup and the US Alpine Ski Team and the other was his ski cross career, which was kick-started when he became a fully funded member of the US Ski Cross Team in his first race. Errol has competed all over the world, raced for Jamaica in the 2010 Olympics, and was a regular at the X-Games. But, while his life seemed perfect, it hasn't always been, and we talk about the highs of winning, the lows of mental health issues, and everything in between.  Connery Lundin and I ask the Inappropriate Questions Errol Kerr Show Notes: 4:00: The cover of Ski Magazine, Jamacia roots, Bay Area, growing up rich, BMX and Moto, moving to Truckee, losing his dad, racing and talent in Tahoe 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better.
