TPM Episode 493: Glen Plake Grand Finale

from The Powell Movement · host Mike Powell

Glen Plake is the most legendary, the most known skier of our time—maybe of all time—and I've interviewed him more than anyone. But this podcast series couldn't end without a final Plake episode, and this one was timed perfectly, the day after Freeride was named an Olympic sport. You can bet Glen has a strong opinion about that, and we also talk about FIS, SIA, skiing, life, Kimberley, and so much more.  It's another fun episode with a living legend and I get some new stories out of Glen.  Elan Trip of a Lifetime Show Notes: 3:00: Goon Squad, FIS, cultural tobacco and clean living 20:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. Motu Truck Caps  22:00: Speedo's, his neck, trash, collar shirt, money, and Kimberley 40:00: Outdoor Research: The  best is developed and tested in the brutal conditions the PNW and beyond 41:00: Plake style, living above and below 6k feet, his dad, would he have changed anything, product and brand involvement,  attention, autographs, and what's next 65:00: Inappropriate Questions:
