Low Pressure Podcast: The Podcast for Skiers: Recent Episodes
Mark Warner
Low Pressure: The Skiers Podcast is the best place to find great conversations with the people who dedicate their lives to skiing.
Marcus Goguen is the 2024 Freeride World Tour Champion. He opens up about the whirlwind year that led to his world title, what it's like navigating the business side of skiing at a young age, and how he's balancing competition, personal growth, and future planning.
Marcus shares insights into his journey of finding an agent, managing real estate investments, and choosing independent study to enhance his knowledge, all while staying focused on skiing, and building a side hustle in fitness content. We also talk about how injury protection and in-season maintenance keep him sharp, and his views on how the Freeride World Tour compares to Natural Selection. We wrap things up with what’s next as he begins to carve his own path both on and off the mountain.

This is the FULL event RECAP for the inaugural YETI Natural Selection Ski Following the footsteps of it's snowboarding origins NST SKI is carving a bold new line into skiing’s history books with a new way to approach freeride competition.
12 skiers faced "Priority 1", one of Alaska’s most legendary big mountain venues, with a single mission: create a film-quality, freestyle-meets-freeride line in real-time. At the center was the variability and grandeur of Mother Nature herself—who once again proved to be both an inspiration and a formidable challenger.

This is the FULL event RECAP for the sixth and final event of the 2025 Freeride World Tour season; The 30th anniversary of the YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda.
We saw some spectacular performances as well as some heartbreaking moments on the way to crowning 3 new World Champions as well as 4 first time winners in Verbier. The Legendary Bec des Rosses presented an extra challenge in the way of a very thin and dangerous snowpack which is something the athletes have been familiar with this year. It wasn't safe to drop in from the top this year so the riders had to choose from 3 separate start gates on the Bec and Petit Bec.

This is the full RECAP of the FWT25 Stop #2 - Val Thorens Pro with special guest, Reine Barkered!
The second event of the season saw the FWT make its return to France where the riders attacked the Lac Noir Face, in powder conditions, on a spectacular bluebird day. For some, the deep snow proved to be more than they could handle.

Eric Blehm is a former editor of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine and is a New York Times best selling author specializing in adventure biographies. He's here to talk about his latest book, "The Darkest White" which is a deep look into the life and tragic death of the legendary snowboarder, Craig Kelly.
Kelly is arguably the most influential Snowboarder of all time. His death in an avalanche in 2003 was a shock to the snowboarding and mountain guiding communities and the aftermath left many questions unanswered.
In the Darkest White, Blehm weaves together Kelly's biography, a history of the sport of snowboarding and approaches the avalanche with a forensic eye in an effort to make sense of the tragic event.

NewSchoolers.com has been the leader in skiing's freestyle / jib / park culture since 1999. In that time it has been bought, sold and restructured by their parent companies more times than you can count on two hands.
Even though they we're being passed around like "Pokemon Cards", NS was the "cockroach" that just kept on surviving the mergers and downsizing and restructuring. Now, the inmates are running the asylum as the crew has just purchased the iconic title becoming, once again, truly independent.
We're joined by 3 of the new owners of NewSchoolers.com to tell us how it happened.

Emily Childs is one part of the three person crew of fun loving, hard charging skiers, The Blondes. Earlier this year The Blondes released their film, "How Did We Get Here?" , which answers that exact question, sharing a quick look into the histories of the three athletes and friends.
Emily had a busy winter this year with several big ski trips and a lot of time spent in helicopters. It's not exactly what you think though. When not skiing spines in Alaska or shooting promo photos she works as a helicopter pilot and talks about the process of getting her licence. Em also tells us about growing up at Troll Ski Resort, a small little area in BC that was founded by her Grandfather and operated by her mom.

Josh is a true workhorse with an energy dedicated to the projects he creates that is hard to rival. One such project is the third installment to his "Mountain State" film project which highlights the lesser traveled mountain ranges in Nevada that host the epic lines he has become known for.
The two of us also talk about skiing with dogs, training and safety in the mountains, the benefits of having no expectations and the difficulty balancing between work and play when you do what you love for a job.

This is the full RECAP of the FWT24 Yeti Verbier Xtreme
This fifth, and final, event of the season was the cherry on top of an amazing, record breaking cycle of the Freeride World Tour. This comp had drama. It had suspense. It had runs that once again pushed forward progression of the sport and it had riders who wouldn't know if they'd be champions until the last rider crossed the finish.

Je Paq literally launched onto the scene when the clip of his triple front flip off the backside of Whistler Mountain went super viral. One trick doesn't make the skier though as he has been consistently showing us that his skiing ability isn't relegated to a single impressive moment.
Je Paq is a true "ski bum", living in his car skiing and every single day. He tells us a few of his tips for keeping his gear dry, where to charge his phone to how to spend each night relaxing in a sauna. You'll even learn what to if you ever hit a black bear with a Honda Fit!

Stinius Skjøtskift ( pronounced Shot-Shift) is a Norwegian skier who's path to becoming a pro athlete has been determined by several fateful moments and his willingness to just "go with it". Trying to join the military and being denied, then accepted led to him winning a couple freeride comps all while Dj-ing nightclubs on the weekends, as a teenager. Listen to him tell his fascinating journey. We also talk about the new film he's in, "Lexicon", which was produced by Arc'teryx and features skiers from 6 different countries all travelling to Japan to enjoy deep powder. Along the way they uncover the universal language of skiing. A Lexicon that emerges through the act of being present and connected. #LISTENTOSKIING WATCH Stinius' episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fKh9dqHiToo

Maxime Chabloz is a RedBull athlete for two different sports and he competes on two different World Tours, simultaneously! One being The Freeride World Tour, which he won in 2022, and the other he kite boards on the GKA Kite World Tour.
Max explains how he's able to juggle both, sometimes flying from one event in the mountains to another on the beach and back again. The Swiss born Chabloz is as unique as his story which is laid out in the recent film on his life, Petit Suisse, which follows him around the globe with an un-intrusive, fly on the wall perspective.

Lily Bradley is a competitor and event winner on the Freeride World Tour who identifies as Queer / Non Binary. They are in the short film. "People Like Us", that explores queer identity in mountain towns and snow sports.
Lily talks with Mark about the inherent difficulties growing up in a sport feeling very different from everyone else and figuring out how to navigate that maze. They also realize that understanding the nuance of a topic like this is difficult to understand and we discuss it together with humour and a willingness to learn.

Simon Hillis is a pro skier who was born in Bali, Indonesia but grew up in Rossland, BC skiing at Red Mountain. It's a good thing his family ended up in settling in the Kootenay Mountains because he's proven he belongs on a pair of skis. As a child Simon was hard to beat on the Junior freeride circuit consistently winning North American and Local championships alike. He's since shifted his focus to filming after a chance to shoot Warren Miller as a teenager and hasn't looked back since.
We talk about crafting his own web series project, Nearly Nowhere, shooting with TGR, his experiences an asian pro skier, Scuba Diving and lots more.

Introducing Marcus Goguen and Wei Tien Ho, two of the most exciting, up and coming big mountain skiers in the scene. The two Whistler locals have been friends since they were kids and are now starting to make their names known, not only through their impressive feats displayed on their instagram feeds but also in competition. Marcus proved himself after receiving a wild card on the FWT this season and Wei Tien earned a spot on tour next year, qualifying through the Challenger tour.
The guys are also very skilled mountain bikers. Wei Tien is sponsored by Commencal bikes, as well as skis, and is competing on the U21 Enduro curcuit. Also, make sure to keep an eye out next fall as the pair both have been filming with TGR and Marcus, also with MSP.

Abe talks about how his path has been directed by his love of skiing. Creating a carpool app for his university ski club to designing top sheets for 4FRNT to editing ski videos long before the GoPro existed, all of these components led to his dream job at GoPro.

Carl Regnér is a Freeride World Tour Athlete who has been competing for 5 years. It would have been 6 if he hadn't broken his hands while skiing just days before his very first event! Carl has a slightly different, and refreshing perspective on the risk and hazards that come with competing in an extreme sport. He isn't a big fan of high levels of risk and although he is capable of doing things on skis that most of us can only dream about, he's most comfortable when that risk is measured.
In this episode Carl talks about studying economics and filling in as the Peak Performance Team manager for the summer. We talk about skiing in Sweden, his love for Tennis and whether or not he's good enough to be a guitarist in a band.

Simon Shave and Clay Mitchell are CK9 Studios and are the hottest filmmakers in the biz right now. I'm talking specifically about movie making skills obviously. Originally called the Seadawgs, the duo grew up together as friends in Nelson, BC. After doing their own things for a while in their 20's, they reunited with the focus of ski films. The two "apprenticed" for Sherpas Cinemas before they eventually left the nest to make the now classic, "Over Time" for Sammy Carlson. That film not only won awards but garnered attention from big commercial clients like BMW. The dawgs are at it again, recently winning four F3 awards for their work with Tatum Monod's project, "Passage", and Sam Kuch's, "Here Goes".
Sam Kuch returns to the LPP freshly minted as the IF3 Male Standout Skier of the Year. He stopped by the Low Pressure Podcast Studios to talk about what’s changed in his life in the 3 years since he was last on the show including winning awards, firefighting, learning to paraglide and touring the country with the MSP Stomping Grounds premiere tour.
