    Josh Daiek, Pro Skier

    Josh Daiek has been blowing minds for a long time, but you may not know his name. While his skiing may remind you of a cross between Seth Morrison and Hugo Harrison (and that's a bold statement), Josh has yet to have a part in a giant ski movie that would blow up his career.  But, he’s every pro skier’s favorite pro skier all while remaining a little underground. On the podcast we talk about coming up in Detroit, his insane work ethic, moving out west, pro skiing, and a lot more. Stan Rey asks the Inappropriate Questions.

    "Sick" Rick Armstrong is a living legend. Known for his film segments, pioneering Alaska with Doug Coombs and crew, and being part of the second wave of the Jackson Hole Airforce.

This product of northern Michigan grew up with a traditional ”Yooper” work ethic and an enthusiasm you can’t coach.

    Stan Rey, Pro Skier

    Stan Rey's skiing speaks for itself, he's a big mountain charger with a race background that created a foundation for Stan to crush any terrain. While Stan was born to a family of successful Swiss ski racing bloodlines, his outlook on the sport changed a few years after the family moved to Whistler. But what really separates Stan from the rest of the pack is his personality.  He’s the fun guy who has no problem letting everyone else laugh at his expense. He’s the person who makes trips and experiences better. On the podcast, we talk about why Whistler sucks, his Olympic Gold Medal-winning wife, being the Cinderella of Canadian Skiing, heading into the backcountry, the Blank Collective, and more. Alexi Godbout gets redemption by asking the Inappropriate Questions.
