    Tele Mike Russell: You Cannot Be What You Cannot See

    Tele Mike Russell grew up as a sharecropper’s son in Delaware, before attending college and becoming an executive in the pharmaceutical industry. Then he watched the second plane hit the World Trade Center and decided he’d better follow another path, this one to skiing in Colorado, where he’d go on to find a family in the National Brotherhood of Skiers.  Backcountry Magazine | Instagram | Facebook National Brotherhood of Skiers Host: Adam Howard Producer + Engineer: Mike Horn

    Eric Blehm: Meet Your Heroes

    When Craig Kelly died in 2003, the world of snowboarding was devastated. Twenty years later, New York Times best-selling author Eric Blehm returned to the site of Kelly’s death, to uncover the true story of what happened in the avalanche that killed the legendary snowboarder and six backcountry skiers in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains. Blehm’s roots in snowboarding run deep. He started riding during the sport’s infancy, and after college became an editor at Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine. Years later, he was in a lift line when a fellow rider saw the “Craig Kelly is my Co-Pilot” sticker on his board, and asked Blehm: “Who is Craig Kelly?” He was floored by the notion that there were snowboarders out there who didn’t know who Craig was. And this inspired him to write The Darkest White. Backcountry Magazine | Instagram | Facebook Buy Eric Blehm's The Darkest White Host: Adam Howard Producer + Engineer: Mike Horn

    Chris Davenport: Plugged-In To The Mountains

    In the skiing universe, Chris Davenport is a household name. His notoriety is due in part to the many facets of the sport upon which he’s had a lasting impact. He raced for New Hampshire’s Holderness Academy and the University of Colorado before transitioning to freeskiing and winning world championships in 1996 and 2001. He became one of the first American Red Bull athletes and found his way into more than 30 ski films. And that just scratches the surface of Dav’s decades of dominance. He eventually moved on from competitive freeskiing to focus on high-profile backcountry objectives like skiing all of Colorado's 54 14,000-foot peaks in less than a year, then skiing the 100 highest peaks in the state. He authored a book about the 14ers project and co-authored Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America. Today, Dav applies his decades of experience and passion for skiing in a multitude of ways. He’s a ski guide, television host and announcer, and ski entrepreneur. Most recently, he’s taken on a role at Peak Skis alongside Bode Miller, bringing decades in the industry to his focus on design and innovation.

    Ellen Bradley: The Original Storytellers

    Tlingit skier Ellen Bradley is an advocate, athlete, scientist and storyteller. Fierce and thoughtful, she defies the narrative that wild Alaska is there only to be conquered by heli operations and other extractive industries. She loves to slide on snow, and wants more Indigenous people to share in her joy. Born and raised in the Seattle area, Bradley started skiing Stevens Pass at age 4. For her, skiing has always been a source of connection to both the land and her ancestors, especially because she grew up away from her traditional homelands in Southeast Alaska.  Today, she’s working with tribal organizations and the greater ski community to make the sport more accessible for native kids. That resulted in a partnership between Ikon Pass and Natives Outdoors for the 2023-24 season, in which 30 scholarships have been awarded to Indigenous people who receive passes, rentals and lessons. In this episode, Bradley speaks about how her background in science and passion for skiing complement each other. She reflects on the challenges of growing up away from her Alaska homeland and why we should let Indigenous peoples tell their own stories.

    Jeremy Jones: The Art of Schralpinism

    From a distance, Jeremy Jones’s career looks impossible. He is, after all, a pro snowboarder, entrepreneur, activist, filmmaker and author. Does he ever sleep? Nevermind that he’s also a husband, father and active community member in Truckee, California.  Somehow, he still manages to snowboard around 200 days a year. The founder of Jones Snowboards has stayed true to his passions while owning and operating one of the most innovative brands in the sport. At any given time, you might find him on a Tahoe skintrack or in Washington, D.C., advocating for the planet on behalf of Protect Our Winters, an organization he founded in 2007.  In this episode, Jeremy reflects on the impact of the life of the late Craig Kelly, whose untimely death while training to become a guide set the sport of backcountry snowboarding back a decade. Jeremy also speaks about his own personal journey, from being the first certified snowboarder at Mt. Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont, to riding some of the raddest lines on the planet and the pure joy he finds in powsurfing.

    Jordan Campbell: Big Mountains and Broken Heroes

    Jordan Campbell’s relationship with Backcountry spans more than two decades. He published his first story in the magazine—about a ski expedition to Eastern Tibet—in 2002.   Throughout the course of his career, Campbell has worked for some of the biggest names in the outdoor industry, including Jagged Edge, The North Face and Marmot. During that time, he found himself increasingly drawn to humanitarian causes around the globe. It was also during this time host Adam Howard found himself chasing Campbell around the mountains of Chamonix and Norway. In recent years, his focus has shifted away from working on behalf of brands into something more profound. Campbell founded Ramro Global—a documentary film production and media company—to shine a light on humanitarian crises in places like Iraq, Africa and Ukraine. He’s currently working on a film about the war in Ukraine called “Ukraine Under Fire.”  In this episode, Campbell reflects on his career in the outdoor industry and how it led him to dedicate his life to humanitarian causes. He talks about his recent trips to Ukraine and the people who inspire him to risk his life in order to tell their stories.  This episode is brought to you by Gordini Backcountry Magazine Website | Instagram | Facebook Get the print mag and more…. www.backcountrymagazine.com Host: Adam Howard Producer + Engineer: Mike Horn Guest: Jordan Campbell Support Jordan's "Ukraine Under Fire" film project

    Biff America: Beer is Great, God is Good, People are Crazy

    Jeffrey Bergeron, aka Biff America, has spent the last 50 years living in the mountains, mainly in Breckenridge, Colorado. Yet his signature accent and brash personality—rooted in the South Shore of Massachusetts—are as rich as they were the day he moved west. Likewise, his sharp and self-deprecating sense of humor is evident through his writing and, as you’ll hear, in this episode. In addition to his columns that have run in Backcountry since 1994, he’s also published two books under the Backcountry flag. Biff’s colorful career has spanned stints on the radio and television, politics, and even a spell as a stand-up comedian. At the core of it all is skiing and mountain biking. Biff has logged 100-plus days on snow per season for the better part of five decades. Nowadays he spends most of his time skiing the backcountry, away from crowds and Breck’s six-pack chairlifts. He finds inspiration for his writing in the skintrack, and simply by “paying attention” to the little things that make up his daily life. He travels the country in a camper with his mate, Ellen, chasing snow and singletrack and stories to share.  We caught up with Biff in between adventures to learn where the “Biff America” moniker came from and much more.
