    The Current State of Climate Science, Consensus, & Next Best Steps w/ Dr. Liz Burakowski

    So how are things actually going when it comes to climate change, carbon emissions, stuff like that? Are we making any real progress? And what do climate scientists — you know, the experts that are doing the research and studying the results — what are they finding? These are some of the things we've been wondering about, and we suspect that some of you have, too. So today, our guest is one of those experts, and she has a lot of insights to share. Dr. Elizabeth Burakowski is on the Research Faculty at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space at the University of New Hampshire; she is a member of the Protect Our Winters Science Alliance; and she started snowboarding in 1994, and these days, you’ll find her in the backcountry on her splitboard.

    Atomic’s Jossi Wells, Tonje Kvivik, & Noah Wallace on the Realities of Being a Pro Athlete & the Creation of a New Industry Standard

    “When we’re out there putting our bodies on the line, the last thing we want to be thinking is, am I going to be looked after if this goes wrong?” — Atomic athlete, Jossi Wells Today we’re talking with Atomic skiers Jossi Wells, Tonje Kvivik, and Noah Wallace about a topic that almost never gets discussed publicly, yet it’s an issue that most sponsored outdoor athletes have to deal with: as a professional athlete, it’s your job to go out there and push yourself and try to push the limits of your sport, while also having to take responsibility for the consequence when things go wrong. It’s been a longstanding issue in the freeski world, across snowboarding, biking, climbing, and other sports, and while we all love watching athletes put themselves on the line, when injuries happen in that pursuit of pushing what’s possible, most of us then can only offer these athletes our best wishes on social media and our hopes that they heal up soon. But today, I’m happy to announce a new development that we think will set a new standard in the outdoor industry. Atomic has committed to covering their international freeski athletes with BLISTER+ outdoor injury insurance, and Atomic is the first outdoor brand to provide this level of coverage to their sponsored athletes.
