Manage episode 164653751 series 1298477
On the first episode of the "Nausicaa Cast" podcast, presented by Powder Radio, host Hadley Hammer interviews Ingrid Backstrom, the most decorated big mountain skier of all time. The two talk about how professional skiing has evolved, snow safety, and motherhood—Backstrom recently gave birth to a daughter. Backstrom also reflects on her career.
"I'm still pretty amazed that somehow I'm still skiing for a living," says Backstrom. "It still feels like yesterday that I wouldn't even tell people I was a professional skier because I was so nervous it would all go away."
Backstrom, a freeskiing coach at Crystal Mountain, also shares advice for young skiers. "Just do what brings joy to you," she says.
