1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Fear is something that we can practice and our comfort

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: with fear. Befriending fear is kind of like a superpower.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: And you know when I get those those nervous feelings

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: or those butterflies, I've learned to enjoy that feeling and

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: to like harness it into energy to perpetuate me forward

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: instead of paralyzing me.

Speaker 2: When we were featured on the Today Show.

00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: Honestly, I was walking around Soho in Manhattan when I

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: started to get tags from people and I looked at

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: my phone and one of the tags was my face

00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,720

Speaker 2: Lexi. It's all about Lexi. Today.

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Lexi and I are talking about her crazy endeavors. I mean, yes,

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: this woman is a pro skier, but she has so

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: many other interests that made her.

40
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: One of the most interesting people to talk to.

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: Aside from making a name for herself in the skiing industry,

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: this woman has an affinity for so many different types

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: of movement and sport, ranging from hiking. We talk about

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: her climbing Mount Kilmanjaro too. Now she's actually a pilot,

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: and we talk about the big aspirations she has when

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: it comes to that.

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Lexi is so insightful.

48
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: We have a really special conversation around the topic of

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: fear and she fills us in all about her wild

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: card spot on the Freeride World Tour, taking her some

51

Speaker 2: Today.

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: I am sitting down with Lexi DuPont. She is a

78
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: pro skier. She also has some other cool things that

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: we can throw into the resume, but I'll let her

80
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: expand on those in just a little bit.

81
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 2: So Lexi, how do you do it today?

82
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm great, just up here in Canada watching the snow fall.

84
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: It's wonderful watching the snow fall. We haven't had a

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: lot of that here just yet. I'm in Brooklyn, not Canada,

86
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: but I feel like I kind of miss pre the

87
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: last two to three years when snow was a more

88
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: regular occurrence.

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, well, New York. It's the holidays, right,

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: so you've got the New York holiday vibes. That's incredible.

91
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: They are very special.

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: I will say that speaking of snow, amazing time of

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: year for you to be getting out there. I'm sure

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: you said you just got back to Canada before we

95
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: hopped into the recording.

96
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: I built a house up here in Revelstoke, British Columbia

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: and finished like twenty nineteen.

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: Had six months in my new home, and then COVID.

100
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: And so had to leave the country and I'm like, oh,

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: don't worry, friends, Like, I'll be back in a couple

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: of months. They can't keep the borders closed that long.

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: And fifteen months later made it back up to Canada

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: to my house. I had left with like a small

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Duffel bag, my mountain bike and a surfboard, just you know,

106
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: to get me through this summer. And then all last winter,

107
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, all I'd have is bikini our bikinis

108
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: and like ankle socks. This isn't gonna work.

109
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: A small Duffel bag and a surfboard and a bikini.

110
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: It sounds like a pretty like idyllic way to live.

111
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: It also alludes to the fact that you don't just ski.

112
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: Have you always been a super active person?

113
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean my whole life.

114
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: My parents when I was younger really encouraged me to

115
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: try everything. So I was always doing you know, one

116
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: hundred different sports at once. And then once skiing, I

117
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: got really good at skiing and it was going well.

118
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, this is taking up a lot

119
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: of my time. I kind of have to now pick

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: and choose which sports I want to do, and just

121
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: started dedicating most of my time to skiing. But yeah,

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: I mean winter is seasonal, right, so we do travel

123
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: and chase snow in the summertime, whether we go to

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: South America to Chile or Argentina or Australia New Zealand.

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: But that's you know, a couple of weeks.

126
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: And the rest of the time, it's like, I love surfing,

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: so surfing's become a big part of my life.

128
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: Mountain biking, the.

129
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: Mountainers have so much to offer in the summer, whether

130
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: it's rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking. And then my partner

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: actually lives in Kawai, so we're spending a lot of

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: time on the North Show over there surfing.

133
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: Wow, it's cool to talk to someone who did have

134
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: a super active upbringing like my parents. I feel like

135
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: I still am trying to encourage them to move more

136
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: regularly and like trying to find like little quick fixes

137
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: or like tools to get them to just get out there.

138
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: Whether that's like eyeing my mom a kayak for Christmas

139
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: or getting my dad a tonal.

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: So everyone's different.

141
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: But for you growing up in this like super active family,

142
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: what was it really like for you?

143
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was amazing. That's what we did as

144
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: a family. We played outside.

145
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: You know.

146
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: It was like if you didn't want to come, then

147
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: you're you're home alone. And that wasn't fun. So they

148
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: didn't get as many options. It was like You're getting

149
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: in the car, We're going to the ski hill, We're

150
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: going backpacking, you know, we're doing these things.

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: Otherwise you're home alone. So yeah, and then recently.

152
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I became a bush pilot, So I've been flying airplanes

153
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: and it's one of my It's just such an amazing

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: thing to be able to do. Like I find my

155
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: body is in line when I'm using my mind, body

156
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: and spirit together, and flying is definitely a huge mental part.

157
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: Like you, it's multicat tasking to the next level. So yeah,

158
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: my brain is growing with the flying aspect. And I

159
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: get to go to all these really cool places. And

160
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: there's so many backcountry landing strips in Idaho where we

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: are in the summertime and you go, you know, fly

162
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: into a little landing ship and go hot springing or

163
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: hiking or fly fishing or Yeah, it's mostly you know,

164
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: growing up in the mountains. I'd have to say, yes,

165
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: my family was a big part of it. But the

166
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: mountains themselves are so inspiring that you just can't help

167
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: but get out out in them.

168
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: You know.

169
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: It's it's so cool too, because I feel like when

170
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: you start at that young of an age, like the

171
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: great thing about kids in sports is like they don't

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: have a lot of the fears or like inhibitions that

173
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: adults might bring to them if they're like brand new

174
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: to any particular sport. So for you getting on skis

175
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: as such a young kid, that must have been such

176
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: a game changer for what you were able to do

177
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: coming of age.

178
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: Oh one hundred percent. I mean this. Kids are little sponges,

179
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 4: you know.

180
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: They say if you want to learn a language, like,

181
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: teach your kid a language at a young age because

182
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: they'll have it forever and their brains are just open

183
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to it. But that's the same with skiing and sports

184
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: like skiing. I learned to ski when I was two

185
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: years old, and it like walking to me. You know,

186
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: it was like, not only was it so fun, but

187
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of We were joking the other night at

188
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: dinner that the ski hills I had some of my

189
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: ski girlfriends over here. Have we've been friends forever? It

190
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: was like the ski hill was our first nanny, you know,

191
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: like mom and dad would drop us off and give

192
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: us ten bucks for lunch, and you just went and

193
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: played on the mountain all day. And that's that's where

194
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: all of our friends hung out. And so I'm just

195
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: so comfortable. It's second nature for me to slide down

196
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: mountains and down snow. I'm so appreciative of that that

197
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: my parents introduced me at a young age.

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: Do you as like most I'm sure every skier does,

199
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: like remembers the first time that they took like a

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: tumble that like really scared the hell out of them.

201
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: Do you remember yours?

202
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Mine actually happened later in life. It was probably like

203
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I mean, I'm sure I fell a

204
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: lot learning to ski, but they kind of disappeared because

205
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: I just remember the fun times, but yeah, it was

206
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: a while ago. Here in Revelstoke. Actually there's this kuar.

207
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: So a kupar is a strip of snow between two

208
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: rocks on either side, so you'll see like look at

209
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: a mountain, you'll see this like white line coming down,

210
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: so they're pretty narrow, right, And I was skiing down.

211
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: It's called the sickle because it kind of looks like

212
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: a you know, like a sickle knife.

213
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 4: And I was skiing down.

214
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: And like this, every turn you make, you kind of

215
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: start a little mini avalanche with you. Like it's not

216
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna it just starts to pick up speed. It's just

217
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: smooth snow.

218
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 4: Moving with you.

219
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: But by the end there's so much of it, and

220
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: it just took me off my feet and I tumbled

221
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: a good like seven hundred feet down this mountain.

222
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: And we call it tomahawking.

223
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: Because it's basically like when you throw a tomahawk through

224
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: the air, it just spins, you know, head over butt

225
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: head over, butt over and over. And so tomahawking down

226
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the mountain picking up speed, and I thought I knew

227
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: at the bottom there was this big cliff and I

228
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I'm going over this cliff,

229
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: like this is gonna.

230
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: Be the end.

231
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: Like I had that near death moment, like the life

232
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: flashing before your eyes type of situation, and came to

233
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: a stop and just did like the whole body scan,

234
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: tapped my head like, took a deep breath, got the

235
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: snow out of my mouth, and was like I'm okay,

236
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: totally fine, Like not a single scratch on me, like

237
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: obviously like a little sore, but like nothing.

238
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, very lucky. So that one stands out for sure. Wow.

239
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

240
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: And when you like after you kind of like spit

241
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: the snow out of your mouth and like realize that

242
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: your physical body was still a thing, Like were you

243
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: picked up?

244
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: What happened with that?

245
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

246
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: So then after that we were filming, right, that's what

247
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: we do a lot with skiing, as we make these

248
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: ski films, And the filmer was on the opposite mountain,

249
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: and I got to watch the shot later and it

250
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: was pretty terrifying. But I also had my friend who

251
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: had up skied down before me, and he was tucked

252
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: up under the cliff, and so I just got on

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the radio and I was like I'm okay and traverse,

254
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: so like skied horizontally across the mountain to this way

255
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: I could exit down and then the helicopter. We were

256
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: heally skiing, so the helicopter picked us up.

257
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: Wow, that's nuts.

258
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: And in skiing you are, you know, conquering so many

259
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 3: different mountains, but and a completely different side of the

260
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: coin here, you also have done insane things like climb them. Specifically,

261
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm talking about you climbing Mount Kilmanjaro, So talk to

262
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: me about how that became something that was on your radar.

263
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: Well, Kilmnjaro specifically. I mean, we climb mountains all the time,

264
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: but Killy was a really special trip for me. I

265
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: just graduated high school and my younger sister and I

266
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: our parents really encouraged us if we wanted to travel,

267
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: like this is before my whole ski career really took off,

268
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: and they encouraged us if we wanted to travel, we

269
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: should volunteer in different places. So we went to Kenya

270
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: and volunteer in this orphanage at the base amount Kilimanjarro

271
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: Kilimandraw Kids Care is what it's called.

272
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 4: And we worked there for about a month and then.

273
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: We did put a fundraiser together of climbing the mountain,

274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: you know, ask people for donation to go to the

275
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: kids to the orphanage if we climbed the mountain to

276
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the top. So it was me and my younger sister,

277
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Mattie and her best friend Emmy O'Reilly. They were still

278
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: in high school at the time. I had just graduated,

279
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and we went down to Africa for a month and

280
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: Kilimandraw was so special. I'm trying to remember the date

281
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: on this must have been two thousand and seven. And

282
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: so there's still a decent amount of snow on the top.

283
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: I've heard it's taken a pretty big plunge and has

284
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: melted quite significantly. But what's so special about Kilimanjarw is

285
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: you go through all these different climates on the way up.

286
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: Every single climate I think that is in the world

287
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: is on Kilimanjau on the mountain.

288
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: I could be off on that, but I know that

289
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: it's a ridiculous.

290
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Amount of I won't judge you for it.

291
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 4: You yah climates that you go through.

292
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: It's like you start in the muddy jungle and then

293
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: you get up into like kind of some like sparser

294
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: trees and then it's almost like this arid desert for

295
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then it goes into like lava rocks,

296
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: and then into winter and snow on the top.

297
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: No big deal.

298
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 4: It's very cool.

299
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: It's like I have trouble like packing for like a

300
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: weekend in one climate, and you're like, all right, let's

301
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: experience every single climate ever and we'll carry all the

302
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: things that we need on our back.

303
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, layering, you just layer it. You would do so,

304
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: you would do so well.

305
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a killer athlete with all of your accomplishments.

306
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 4: You'd run up that thing with.

307
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: No, you're so sweet, You're so sweet.

308
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: But I'm sure that experience was just once in a lifetime,

309
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: especially being able to go with so many people that

310
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: mattered so much to you.

311
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: It is so special, incredible, And I just remember, like

312
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: you get to the top at sunrise and the sun

313
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: is rising behind and you're looking over and you can

314
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: see the shadow of Kilimanjaro like over Tanzania, just taking

315
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: over the whole country, you know. And then as the

316
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: sun comes up, the shadow kind of follows up with

317
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: the mountain and you have to be on really high

318
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: peaks to get the sunrise shadow.

319
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: So dope, so dope.

320
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: So you said this precursing a few years before you

321
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: really started skiing super competitively. Talk to me about when

322
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: you knew that skiing at that next level was going

323
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: to be something that you really wanted to do.

324
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, okay, that's a great question. So I

325
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: graduated from school in Sun.

326
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 4: Valley, Idaho. I moved out.

327
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: To my freshman year of college, went to Endocott College

328
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: in Beverly, Massachusetts. I had a scholarship for sailing to

329
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: be a pro sailor and full ride for the sailing team,

330
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, let's give this a shot,

331
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: and really just missed winter, you know, and the snow

332
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: and the mountains mostly like the East Coast. Don't get

333
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: me wrong, great skiing, but compared to where I grew up,

334
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: the mountains were just a little bit smaller and snow

335
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: was a little less consistent. And so I like went

336
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: to all these different ski hills and just tried to

337
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: explore as many as I put on the East Coast,

338
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: and eventually it was like, Okay, I need to be

339
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: back in like real winter. So I transferred to the

340
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: University of Colorado Boulder, and one of my best friends

341
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: from high school was going to school there, and we

342
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: had ski race together in high school, and she was like, LEXI,

343
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: you got to come to these contests like they're super

344
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: rat It's the Three Ride World Tour and they've got

345
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: these different qualifiers and you literally just ski down the

346
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: mountain and they judge you and you have the best time.

347
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: And I was like, all right, let's go.

348
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: So we go to Tell Your Ride Colorado where the

349
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: first contest was, and there's this really beautiful peak called

350
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: Palmyra Peak right off the back of Tell Your Ride

351
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: and we hiked to the top of it for the

352
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: contest and skied down and I ended up getting third

353
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: place and podium on like my first contest, and I

354
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: was like, they gave me this big check, you know,

355
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: like the ones you see like they hold above their heads. Yeah,

356
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is so much cooler than

357
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: ski racing and I'm super.

358
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: Down with this, Like let's go. So after that, just

359
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: joined the tour.

360
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: And then I started realizing that I was missing a

361
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of clubs at the University of Colorado because we

362
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: had to travel for all these contests.

363
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 4: So I did one.

364
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: Full year at Colorado are Boulder and then decided to

365
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: just do summer school. So I was on the six

366
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: year prop program at Bolder, going to school in the

367
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 1: summer and skiing all winter long. But I finished school

368
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: and came out with a solid ski career at the

369
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: same time.

370
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Wow, And did you carry with you like any fear

371
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: when it came to entering those competitions. I chuckled when

372
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: you were like, and all they're going to do is

373
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: judge you, Like, did that ever make you a little

374
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: bit anxious?

375
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 4: Oh? For sure.

376
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: So my mom she was a professional skier. She was

377
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: the first woman to do a backflip on skis. Actually

378
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: she was back in the seventies, like those awesome photos

379
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: of people doing huck and backflips. And so I had

380
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: never been in a judged contest before. I was always this,

381
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, a racer, and the time is very honest,

382
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: and the judging is up for interpretation. So my mom

383
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: she's like, LEXI, you got to put on these pants.

384
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: And there were her old Moguls pants. So they're bright

385
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: pink with stars on the butt and these orange circles

386
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: around the knees. And she's like, this is so they'll

387
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: notice you, and you'll they'll be able to see you

388
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: if you wear the bright pink pants. And you also

389
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: need to go down to the judges and introduce yourself

390
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: so they know your name before the contest. So I

391
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: go down and I introduce myself and I've got these

392
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: pants on, these freestyle pants. These are like not the

393
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: trend in the big mountain world, Like I was standing

394
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: out so gnarly.

395
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 4: And they're like, oh, well, nice to meet you, Lexi.

396
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: And then once I'm like dropping in, they have a

397
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: loud speaker and they're like dropping in off the top

398
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: from some valley, Idaho is little Miss hot Pants. That

399
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: was my name for years on the tour was little

400
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Miss hot Pants.

401
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: Oh man, and your mom thinking she's setting you up

402
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: here for success and you're like, thanks for the nickname, mom,

403
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: thank you, Oh my god, but talk about big shoes

404
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 3: to Phil right, did your parents feel some kind of way,

405
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: like positively encouraging you super sue this like career path

406
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: or did they just really were they just on the

407
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: mindset like whatever makes you happy is whatever we're stoked for.

408
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.

409
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: It's like they just want me to be happy. And

410
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: I know that competing definitely makes them a little nervous.

411
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: Like my mom used to come to the contest and

412
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: just like hold close your eyes at the bottom. But

413
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: then she was like so happy when I got made

414
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: it down safely. But they had an intervention a little

415
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: bit like years ago where they're like, Lexy, we don't

416
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: want you to go to Alaska anymore and see these

417
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: big lines like you're okay if you just stay here.

418
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: We just want you to know like this isn't coming

419
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: from us, this is you and if you're happy, you

420
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: do it, but like no pressure.

421
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 4: So that was really nice to have that support.

422
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: That was really nice to not feel like you had

423
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: to just keep topping yourself. But I feel like also

424
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 3: like that's kind of human nature, right, whether or not

425
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: it was the influence from your parents. Once we conquer

426
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 3: one hurdles, so to speak, we're always like hunting for

427
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: the next thing to do.

428
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.

429
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: I think that's why, you know, that's innately human is

430
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: to keep striving and searching and bettering ourselves. And I

431
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: also think it's a beautiful part about being human is

432
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: that we can constantly adapt and grow and learn new

433
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: things and every single day and that's really what inspires me.

434
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: I recently this fall actually just got invited as the

435
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: wild card on the Free Ride World Tour.

436
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 4: Again. I thought I was.

437
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: Done competing, and then they just called me out of

438
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: the blue, invited me. And now the tour has changed

439
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: significantly from when I was doing it ten years ago.

440
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: And I've been talking to a mental coach actually to

441
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: like get my mind back in the competitive mind state,

442
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: and it's been so profound. We've only had a couple

443
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: meetings so far. The first contest. We leave for Spain

444
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 1: on January fourteenth, so it's coming up. But it's basically like,

445
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, sometimes you get into your head or

446
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: like you have this voice of self doubt or insecurities

447
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: and someone's like talking it's I didn't know it was

448
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: a specific voice, but now after practice, I'm identifying her

449
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: and I call her La La, and she comes in

450
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: and and she's like talking to me in this voice.

451
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: I I'm like, Okay, Laala, I see you. But here's

452
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: a better way of doing it. Instead of feeling insecure

453
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: about these things, here's a better, better way. And for me,

454
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: the two words that I'm trying to harness throughout the

455
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: season is abundance and confidence. So that feeling of abundance

456
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: of like gratitude and love for everything around you. The

457
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: sun hitting your face, the snow falling, the people that

458
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: you love, like just full gratitude of abundance.

459
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: And then the confidence is.

460
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: Like, badass, bitch, I've got this, you know, like shoulders back,

461
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: head up, like I've got this.

462
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna start saying to myself every morning, badass.

463
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: Bitch, you've got this, You've got this.

464
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna start literally staring myself in the mirror

465
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: and using Lexi DuPont's affirmations.

466
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it don't work. I mean it's

467
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: so good.

468
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: It's it's like I even feel it my spine, like

469
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: I sit up taller, and like when I think of

470
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: some of the most inspiring women in my life or

471
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: people that I haven't even met, and I idolize like

472
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: they move with such confidence. And it's not this like bossy, mean,

473
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: like rude confidence. It's like it's it's love. It's like

474
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: love just beaming out of them because they love themselves

475
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: and they love where they are in their lives.

476
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: You know.

477
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually I love that. I love two things

478
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: about that. One, you having like inspiring women both that

479
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: you've met and that you haven't met, and that you've

480
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 3: in your own time and your own self work. Like

481
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: you've taken time to articulate who they are. But I

482
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 3: love that you've also been able to identify like a

483
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: common characteristic of these people that you admire, because I

484
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: think that that is such a helpful exercise because it

485
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: also guides you on who you want to be and

486
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: the values that you're trying to emulate in your day

487
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: to day hundred percent.

488
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: And it almost gives you this visual picture, right You've

489
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: seen different things that they've done in their little instances

490
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: and then I can like easily grab that picture of

491
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: that person to help me in those high stress moments.

492
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: So that I mean, that's the mental coaching is really

493
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: practicing these tools in the day to day so when

494
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: you are in that.

495
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 4: High stress situation, it just comes instinctively.

496
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, you have to tell us now, who's

497
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: some of the inspiring women that you look up to are. Oh,

498
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: it was coming, like you brought it to the fore time.

499
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: I was like, you're seeing this up for me. I'm

500
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: attire Wood's this for you now.

501
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: I set myself up.

502
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: I mean my mom for sure is like she's always

503
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: been such an inspiring woman. Mother nature is like a

504
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: big one but Pancho, Mama Mama Earth is the most

505
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: grounding inspiring female.

506
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: We have talk me through that one.

507
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: She's the resilience, the perseverance, the beauty and everything the

508
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: like the time we take things so seriously and such

509
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: like thinking that everything's drastic right now. But like Mother

510
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: Earth that takes as much time as she wants, Like

511
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: she's gentle with herself and she heals herself and time

512
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect her in that.

513
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: Same way that affects us.

514
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: So that's like zoom out of like we're all kind

515
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: of these tiny little specks on this planet spinning through Earth. Like,

516
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: don't take yourself so seriously and realize that it is fragile.

517
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: It is like a small moment in time that we

518
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: get to experience it.

519
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: So love it up.

520
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: You know, having such a strong relationship with your family,

521
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: Tell me a little bit about what it was like

522
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: when you really started to travel a lot to continue

523
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: and excel in your career.

524
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean at first, well, when I was first

525
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: starting to compete, my mom had to come with me

526
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: because I could rent a car on my own, you know,

527
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: so she was always there, and then there was always

528
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: some homesickness when you're traveling a lot. But we're all

529
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: so close. We FaceTime regularly, we chat all the time.

530
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: And now it's travel has become such a big part

531
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: of my life. I'm literally like, I haven't unpacked my

532
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: like toiletry kit probably five years. It's it's like because

533
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: if I unpack it, it's like three days later, I'm

534
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: taking it to go again.

535
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: You know.

536
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have washed it, which is good.

537
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 3: Wait, but okay, I have a few staples that come

538
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 3: with me no matter where I travel.

539
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: Do you have those two? And if so, what are they?

540
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I want to hear your yours too.

541
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you go first.

542
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm a Crystal gal. I'm gonna put it

543
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: out there. I'm a Crystal gal. I'm like, I also

544
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: have like some Polisanto when you're sleeping in these crazy

545
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: hotels all the time, Like I need to save that shit,

546
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know who's been in there. And

547
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: then Crystal by my bed, I always have a good

548
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: book and a journal. I've got these little packing dividers

549
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: that are like my drawers, and they're like little zipper

550
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: pouches because when you're living out of a suitcase, it's

551
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: like you have all your T shirts in one bag.

552
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: You got to stay a little organized, or like things

553
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: can get out of hand really quickly. A good face

554
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: cream and like lip moisturizer.

555
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: I feel all of this.

556
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's so funny because you like started off

557
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: with like your crystals and your Palo Santo and I'm like,

558
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 3: so mine starts with R and Co Dry shampoo and

559
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 3: then Sephora Wives And You're like, I need all these

560
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: things to cleanse my space. And I'm like, I just

561
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: really need to manage my sweat on a regular daily basis.

562
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: But I feel you on having like these specific travel

563
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: to go pouch that you put your stuff in that

564
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 3: is also washable, and you know, the packing cubes are

565
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: game changers.

566
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: Game changers. The drawers, Yeah, drawers in your bag for sure.

567
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 3: So have you always been I mean you obviously as

568
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: we said here mentioned Palo Santo and your crystals. Have

569
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: you always been someone who is I would say, like

570
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: spiritual in that way?

571
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if.

572
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: It was like when I was I don't think when

573
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: I was really young it really came around. I think

574
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: just being in nature all the time, like we say,

575
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, worshiping God, but it's the great outdoors and

576
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: it's like being outside all the time, and our worship

577
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: with our skiing is a spiritual act. And I think

578
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: when you talk to a lot of outdoor athletes, like

579
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: they want to admit it or not, they have a

580
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: deep connection to Mother Earth and it's a spiritual thing

581
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: that you're doing out there when you're when we're skieing

582
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: these mountains, like we're in the back country so much

583
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: so it's not like you have a ski patrol or

584
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: someone mitigating the avalanche hazards, Like that's all on us.

585
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: And there's so much that we dive into with like

586
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: the snow science. We're constantly learning about how avalanches work

587
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: and the risk management, how to you know, wilderness first

588
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: aid safety. But there's also this like this other element

589
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: that can't really be we can't really talk about it

590
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: or quantify it, but it's the connection that you have

591
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: with Mother Earth and like the asking for permission and

592
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: the respect to be able to go do what we

593
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: enjoy to do and play within her mountains, you know.

594
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think that is pretty spiritual.

595
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: When you mentioned you started traveling and your mom would

596
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: come along with you, obviously, time went on, you got

597
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: to be old enough to drive yourself. What were some

598
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: of the first trips that you took on your own

599
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: that really.

600
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: Kind of blew your mind and gave you a new

601
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: appreciation for your sport.

602
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, yeah, that's an awesome one.

603
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: So literally the same year that I started competing, I

604
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: got picked up by Eddie Bower and K two still

605
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,679

00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: and I was I think I was like nineteen at

Speaker 1: the time. On this trip, I had done a little

624
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,920

625
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: in the North Pole, you know what I mean. So

626
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: that one was very adventure. That one was like, can

627
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: I use a sat phone to call my mom, because

628
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna pull my goggles down and cry

629
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: right now if I don't get to talk to her.

630
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I cannot even imagine the next level

631
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: amount of cold. Like this morning, I was holding a

632
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: coffee cup walking to Fort Green Park and I said

633
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: to myself, I shouldn't have brought coffee because my hand

634
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: is freezing. Meanwhile, you are like needing to like keep

635
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 3: your goggles on for fear of actually like get catching

636
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: frost bite instantaneously in the eye region.

637
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: That's true. It was a reezing Oh my.

638
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: I think now if I were to do that trip now,

639
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, years later, I would have so much more

640
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: respect for the whole experience.

641
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: But at the time it was like I was just suffering. Yeah, like,

642
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:06,920

Speaker 3: I mean, that's actually a really interesting thing that you said,

735
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 3: because I feel that way about some of the trips

736
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: that I went on when I was younger too. Granted,

737
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 3: like I wasn't like skiing peaks like four hundred miles

738
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: south of the North Pole, but like I even went

739
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: to Israel when I was in college, and looking back

740
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 3: on that trip that I took when I was nineteen,

741
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: I almost wish that I had waited until I had

742
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 3: a greater understanding for everything from like the political climate

743
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 3: to the lands that I was seeing.

744
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: No one you can't replicate it, you know.

745
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you're younger sometimes we might take a

746
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage of like, oh this is

747
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll do this trip again or well, and just with

748
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: the winter camping, it was like now I'd be so

749
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: much more prepared for that whole situation, but at the

750
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: time it was like just be cool, stay warm, and

751
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: like get this thing done, like get it over with.

752
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 3: And that's so cool, right, because again, your first trip,

753
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: what an unbelievable experience, and I'm sure that was a

754
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 3: great introduction. It was a great introduction to what was

755
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 3: coming next. We were shooting on.

756
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: Film too, like it wasn't digital, like the guys in

757
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: the black bag with his hands like in the Freezing

758
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: Changing film as polar bears are walking towards us, and

759
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: we saw the polar bears. But from that until now,

760
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: it's like going from being in these awesome films to

761
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: then realizing that I wanted to use my creative voice

762
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: to be able to create some of my own content

763
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: owned films. So I've made a few and you know,

764
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: being the producer, the director, all of the levels that

765
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: goes into making your own piece. So I did that

766
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: for a while and then now going back into the

767
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: film and I honestly never thought that I'd be competing again,

768
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: and here I am going back on the free Ride

769
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: World tour. So it's like just being prepared for anything

770
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it's like these storms they come, you

771
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: get like forty eight hour notice and you got to go.

772
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: It's like very quick.

773
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: So just rolling with the punches, being adapt being able

774
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: to adapt at any moment has been I think one

775
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: of the greatest highs and lessons from this whole experience.

776
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 3: What an interesting analogy about like the storm being such

777
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: like an integral part of your entire process. Without the storm,

778
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: you can't arguablead to a lot of the stuff that

779
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 3: you hoped to do, and the conditions are better after

780
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: the storm. Wow, there's like so many like metaphors that

781
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: I could like really bring into the mix here. But

782
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: at first, when you started chasing these storms, I'm sure

783
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: there had to be like a certain level of anxiety

784
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 3: or nervousness that went hand in hand going into so

785
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: much unknown.

786
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, I mean it's like the greatest unknown.

787
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: My whole life revolves around the weather. It's like every

788
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: morning I get up and I look at like global

789
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: weather of where these storms are happening.

790
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 4: For example, last year, we go up to Alaska.

791
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: I've saved all of my money for Alaska in the

792
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: spring from my sponsors, and it's they're having a killer season.

793
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: It's snowing every day. We're like, oh my gosh, this

794
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: spring's going to be incredible. So we went up there,

795
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: sat in this fishing village for three to I think

796
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: it was like three and a half weeks while it

797
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: was just pounding snow, and then we see this high

798
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: pressure coming. We're like, oh, the sun's coming, Like we're

799
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: going to be able to fly to helicopters and get

800
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: out there. And so we go down the first sunny day.

801
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: All these film crews are flying in from all over

802
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the world for this particular storm and system that was happening,

803
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: and then this big high pressure. So we're at the

804
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: airport at the helicopter and we're like, it's like six am.

805
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: The sun's barely even up, and we're like, well, it's warm,

806
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: like it is really warm, and we're like unzipping our

807
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: jackets at the helicopter pad, and all of a sudden,

808
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: it went. We could have time laps it going from

809
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: January to July in like twenty four hours. All the

810
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: snow melted, like the sun came out and the mountains

811
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: just like avalanched and the snow fell down. So we

812
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't get a single day of skiing and we were

813
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: up there for a month. So yeah, the weather rules

814
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: are rules.

815
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: Are world wow.

816
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: Wow, I like cannot even imagine all the effort that

817
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: went into it just for you to have to make

818
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 3: that big pivot. But again, like we're on this metaphor tangent,

819
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: and it's like how often does that happen?

820
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: Right?

821
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 3: Like how often do you put in so much work

822
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: just for something to not go as you had hope

823
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: it would.

824
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: And I always come back to like, I really truly

825
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: believe everything happens for a reason, and a lot of times,

826
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: like our karmic energy will bring that upon us in ways,

827
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: and like what we put out in the world, we receive.

828
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: But there's also like the lessons.

829
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: At each time you have these huge pivots where you're like, hey,

830
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: change a plan, start over, back to the drawing board,

831
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: But like, what did I learn and take away from

832
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: that experience?

833
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 4: And sometimes it might just be like, oh, I'm.

834
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: Learning to adapt better and like roll with the punches

835
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: and change and not let things hold on to things

836
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: so tightly, have a little like looser grip on it.

837
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes it just really sucks and you're like, Okay,

838
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: now I'm just learning how to grieve. Other times it's

839
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: the best ever, and that like those when you have

840
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: those lows, it makes you really appreciate the highs.

841
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: Definitely, definitely so for you now at this point, having

842
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: gone on all of these different seemingly awesome expeditions of sorts.

843
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: You also, as you had mentioned, start to integrate like

844
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: a lot of other things into the flow of your

845
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: every day. And so we're talking about hiking, and then

846
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: earlier you mentioned like getting your pilot's license. So talk

847
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: to me about what it looked like for you when

848
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: you thought that you were going to be done competing.

849
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was so into the film world, right,

850
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: So competition was took a full back seaters like, all right,

851
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm done with that. What I really want to do

852
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: is create content, tell stories, and ski these mountains and

853
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: the far corners of the earth.

854
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was kind of a hard line of like,

855
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 4: all right, competing.

856
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: Isn't really happening anymore. This is feels much better. I

857
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: didn't feel like a loss at by any means of

858
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: like stopping competing. It felt just like a natural progression

859
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: of what my heart wanted to do. And then with

860
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: this new invitation as the wild card. So the wild

861
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: card is basically they give you don't have to qualify,

862
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: They just call you out of the blue for they

863
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: picked one skier and one snowboarder, and usually the skiers mail.

864
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: There's been some legendary male skiers that have been a

865
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 1: part of the tour as a wildcard, and they picked

866
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: a female this year, and I was like, what, Like

867
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: it was just so validating and felt so honored, you know,

868
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: and it just gave me such a big boost of

869
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: confidence of like, oh wow, that these people are still.

870
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 4: Like know who I am and what I'm doing and.

871
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: Are like aware that I can hang and like bring

872
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: some spice to this the other snowboarders. Manuel Diaz, he's

873
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: from Chile. Yeah, So the point of the World Card

874
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: is to spice things up, give like the leader a

875
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: run for her money, and we'll.

876
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 4: See how it goes. I'm pumped. I'm really excited.

877
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: Where else does the tour go?

878
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: So we go from Spain to Andorra and then to

879
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Kicking Horse British Columbia, and then Feverburn, Austria and Verbier Switzerland.

880
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

881
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 3: Also, like you being able just to like wrap those

882
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 3: out real quick is quite impressive.

883
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly what schedules As long as we keep these

884
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: borders open, That's a whole other thing. Right with COVID,

885
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: It's like this could all just get canceled in a second,

886
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: and then then.

887
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 3: What and then we're exercising all the strategies that we

888
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 3: were just on talking about when it comes to being

889
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: able to pivot and adapt.

890
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: So you said the buzzword, the sea word.

891
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 3: We don't love to talk about it, but we will

892
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: talk about it when it comes to COVID. How has

893
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 3: that impacted what you've had going on over the last

894
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 3: two years.

895
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been pretty significant.

896
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, I was talking about not being able

897
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: to come up here to Rebelstoke to my house, Like

898
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: that was pretty gnarly to not like to be literally

899
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: out of your house for fifteen months all my belongings,

900
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: Like I had to go buy all new clothes everything.

901
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 4: So that was a big one.

902
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: But it also brought this beautiful level of like with

903
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: what we've been doing with skiing, we're so travel focused

904
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: on going around the world to different places and just

905
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: like exploring our own backyards of wherever we were and

906
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: finding the beauty, like what's right out your back door?

907
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: And that was really cool.

908
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: Up here in Canada, it's definitely a lot stricter than

909
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: down in the States. How so, just you know, vaccine

910
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: checks at every restaurant, COVID tests now, I think as

911
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: of today, no more gathering is larger than ten people again,

912
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: masks everywhere. Yeah, you know, it's like you're on this like,

913
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: oh we're getting better. Oh oh up and down.

914
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we are.

915
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm with you on the like finding the

916
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 3: small joys and like appreacing the things that we do

917
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 3: have and exploring in your own backyard. And when COVID

918
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: was at one point what was deemed at that point

919
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: to be the worst here in New York, back in

920
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 3: March of twenty twenty, that was when I started cycling

921
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: in a way that I never had before. And so

922
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 3: I was able to get out of my bike and

923
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: like check off my first century and just like keep

924
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 3: kind of going from there and exploring New York.

925
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: And New Jersey.

926
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 3: I can't even say that, like I'm sitting here saying

927
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: that New Jersey was like beautiful but in ways that

928
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 3: like I had never done before. And so I hear

929
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: you with those finding of the simple joys and exploring

930
00:43:59,040 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: your own backyard.

931
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: And you know, when the world opened up again, I

932
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: kind of lost.

933
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: A little bit of that, like a little bit of

934
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: the joy and the spice for the things that had

935
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 3: brought me so much joy. So to be honest with you.

936
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm like, what the hell is going on in

937
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 3: our world? And right now I definitely am, but a

938
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 3: big part of me is like we need to get

939
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 3: back to finding those like small silver linings and maybe

940
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 3: that we were getting just like a little bit greedy.

941
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: One hundred percent greedy and jaded, you know, and that

942
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: it really changed everyone grounding us all back down of

943
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: like you know, the lockdown was like whoa is this

944
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: really happening? Everyone's listening and doing this around the world,

945
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: like everyone is at home. Yeah, and you know, cleaning

946
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: out your house of all these old drawers that needed cleaning,

947
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: or learning how to cook a fun new thing, or

948
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: getting into yoga in your living room, whatever it was,

949
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: you know, spending time with your family. There's all these

950
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: little joys that was a great lesson for us to

951
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: still incorporate when our lives to pick up speed again.

952
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the decision to get into flying.

953
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, wow. So my dad's a pilot.

954
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: Grew up flying with him in the back of his

955
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: one eighty says nine, just a four seater around Idaho,

956
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of my family on my dad's side

957
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: were big aviators, like all my uncles and aunts were pilots,

958
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: so it just kind of felt natural.

959
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 4: Of like this is what my family does. Yeah.

960
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: So as I was getting my private when I was

961
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: getting my private license in twenty sixteen, my dad gifted

962
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: me my aunt's journal says my aunt Alice was the

963
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: first woman to fly the Amazon in the twenties in

964
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: an open biplane, so the open capsule, hair's flowing in

965
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: the wind, and she just had a paper map and

966
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: a compass, like no radios, nothing. And so when I

967
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: heard that story, I was like, oh wow. Like, as

968
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: being a filmmaker, I'm like I want.

969
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: To do that.

970
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: I want to refly her flight down the Amazon. So

971
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: that's really inspired me to like get the next endorsements.

972
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: I just got my instrument rating this last summer, which

973
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: allows me to fly in clouds and above eighteen thousand feet.

974
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: But flying is just like there's constantly new aircraft to learn,

975
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: there's new ratings to get, and you're just constantly learning.

976
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 4: So that is like keeping my brain going. I love it.

977
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: First question, what does scare you in your life?

978
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: What scares me? Yeah, fear is It's an interesting subject.

979
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I definitely have fears, you know, I'm scared of heights,

980
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: Like I totally am. I on somebody's walking a pro

981
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: skier who is now flying above eighteen thousand feet and

982
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: her first fear that she highlights is, I am certainly

983
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: scared of heights.

984
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 4: I'm certainly scared of heights.

985
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: I am. My younger sister laughs with me all the time,

986
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: like we'll go climbing, and she knows when I'm like

987
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: get gripped and she could like see, She's like, are

988
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: you scared of I'm like, yeah, She's always laughing because

989
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: she has like no fear of heights whatsoever. She's like,

990
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: it just blows my mind. You jump off cliffs for

991
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a living, and you're scared of heights. And I think

992
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: that fear is something that we can practice and our

993
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: comfort with fear, befriending fear is kind of like a superpower.

994
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: And you know, when I get those those nervous feelings

995
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: or those butterflies, when fear conjures those up, I've, through practice,

996
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: have learned to enjoy that feeling and to like harness

997
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: it into energy to like perpetuate me forward instead of

998
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: like paralyzing me.

999
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: Do you remember a specific moment where you kind of

1000
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: did that for one of the first times that dramatically

1001
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 3: impacted how you move forward with fear, because I feel

1002
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 3: like those moments are how we adopt the attitude and

1003
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 3: the mindset that you have now, right.

1004
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's started when I was younger.

1005
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: We'd go cliff jumping and my dad would be like,

1006
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: he'd drive the boat up to these cliffs at the

1007
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: lake and he'd be like, we're not going back until

1008
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: everyone jumps. And I remember some of my friends were like,

1009
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: your dad's crazy, I'm not jumping, and then they would

1010
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: like they would. He's like he's serious, they're not, And

1011
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: he's like, I wonder why my girls are so extreme.

1012
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh wait, Like I was one that made them jump

1013
00:47:58,520 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: off cliffs when they're.

1014
00:47:59,280 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 4: A little.

1015
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: This is what he gets for not having any boys.

1016
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I thank.

1017
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: Him for that, but I just remember even I think

1018
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: actually my first one was where we call the bodywomping.

1019
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: Would be in the ocean, just like tumbling in the waves,

1020
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: and I'd come out and I'd.

1021
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 4: Be like, oh my god, I was so scary. But

1022
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 4: I'd look at my dad and he'd be like.

1023
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: That was awesome.

1024
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, hot, Bob, good.

1025
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: Job, and so I'm like, oh, this feeling I'm feeling

1026
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: of nerves is actually a good feeling, you know.

1027
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 4: Like just had that that switch?

1028
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that.

1029
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 3: And then I mean the part two when I after

1030
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: I said part one, what are you scared of? Part

1031
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 3: two is when do you foresee yourself trying to duplicate

1032
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: this journey?

1033
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 4: Okay? Part two?

1034
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: The journey it's like a three to five year plan.

1035
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 1: There's a couple more things that are coming into works.

1036
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very big project, and I'm trying

1037
00:48:53,840 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: to incorporate a really large humanitarian giving back aspect. There's

1038
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: also some electric planes that are coming up around, so

1039
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: waiting on that development. There's just more pieces, some other

1040
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: things I can't talk about.

1041
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 2: But three to five years.

1042
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: Talking about social media, obviously, as you have succeeded in

1043
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 3: your career, you have gained a little bit more of

1044
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 3: a following. How has that been for you having a

1045
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 3: larger platform to both share your stories and what's going

1046
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 3: on in your life, but also, as you've made very

1047
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 3: clear something that's very important to you, do good by

1048
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: other people.

1049
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: I think it's an incredible tool to be able to

1050
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: tell stories and to get information across. You know, it's

1051
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: all of us have at our fingertips access to the

1052
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: entire world all the time, like twenty four hours a day.

1053
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: I think it could you know, when used inappropriately or

1054
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: an unhealthy manner, it can be pretty toxic. But used

1055
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: in the right way, it's an incredible tool to be

1056
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: able to share our experience. And I mean, for example,

1057
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: this house where I'm sitting right now is fully off grid,

1058
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: fully passive house. It's rainwater entrapment, so all of the

1059
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 1: plumbings rainwater, solar for the electricity, and then an geo

1060
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: thermal for the heat. And then being able to build

1061
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: sustainably like this and share that with people to inspire

1062
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 1: them to want you know, all of our building plot

1063
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: practices should change. And I at first I was like,

1064
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: do I really want to share my house on the media.

1065
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: It's such a personal space. But then it was like, no,

1066
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: I want to inspire people to build differently and that

1067
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: you can still have a beautiful home and it can

1068
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: be sustainable.

1069
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 2: And how about when it comes to the social media critics, I.

1070
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: Was thinking, with the mental coach I'm talking to when

1071
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: we have that evil voice that's like talking us down,

1072
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: La la my evil voice. When Lala's talking to me,

1073
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: it's like you invite her to the table. It's like

1074
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,479
Speaker 1: if you have a bully in high school and they're

1075
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: like wanting to like flip your lunch tray, if you're like,

1076
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: how about you sit with us, like you do you

1077
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: need a hug? Like you just completely disminish that you

1078
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: put water on their fire, like there's no fuel. So

1079
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: just killing with kindness, I think is very beneficial if

1080
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: you want to choose your battle. I love.

1081
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: I love the idea here or the through line here.

1082
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 3: That kindness is, without a doubt, one of your biggest values.

1083
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 3: If I had to ask you to name perhaps like

1084
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 3: one or two others, what would you say? Two more

1085
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 3: of your personal key values would be speaking.

1086
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: My last name, DuPont actually means of the bridge. And

1087
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: so I think I have the superpower of bridging people

1088
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: together where people need to be connected to create, you know, better,

1089
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: themselves better the world. Connecting people is I think a

1090
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: superpower that I have. And then I feel like I

1091
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: was blessed with a puzzitive attitude, like I just see

1092
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: you having a good time and smiling, Like, of course

1093
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: I have bad days, but I feel like relatively, I'm

1094
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: just like happy, And I think that's just loving every

1095
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: moment of this life.

1096
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 4: You know, good end of bed.

1097
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: I love that for you right now.

1098
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 3: If someone wants to go over to your Instagram, they

1099
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: would see someone who identifies as a pro skier and

1100
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: a pilot. You're obviously this wild card thirty five thousand followers.

1101
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 3: When you look in the mirror, what is it that

1102
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 3: you see looking back at you?

1103
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a really good question.

1104
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: I honestly sometimes picture my like nine year old self

1105
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: in the mirror and like just want to hug and

1106
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: embrace her and speak to her kindly and encouragingly.

1107
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 4: And it's it's definitely been a practice. You know.

1108
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: There's sometimes you look in the mirror and you're like

1109
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: wanting to correct things or nitpick things, and that doesn't

1110
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: do any good. Just look at her and love her

1111
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: every time. But I see, you know, I see a

1112
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: sister and a friend and like a bright light all around.

1113
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 2: What excites you right now?

1114
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: I think what really has fired me up right now

1115
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: is this free Ride World Tour. I am so excited

1116
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: to travel to Europe and meet new people and we'll

1117
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: be in kind of this crude traveling together around the

1118
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: around Guro up in Canada. So excited to meet new friends,

1119
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: to ski these like iconic mountains that I've never skied before.

1120
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: So that's it's so energizing.

1121
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned a partner earlier.

1122
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 3: How does traveling like that impact you and that partnership.

1123
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Okay, So I've just I'm with the

1124
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: love of my life. I've just relieved I've finally found him.

1125
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 2: So much hope coming from LEXI.

1126
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: Right now, I will say this, I am positively affirming

1127
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: that within one year's time, I'm like closing my eyes

1128
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 3: and saying this, because no one's gonna be watching this video.

1129
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 2: Within one year of my life, I will meet the

1130
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 2: love of my life. And I will be saying this

1131
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 2: in such a gushing manner that is very similar.

1132
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: Yes, it's I thought it was impossible. I didn't know

1133
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: that he'd be out there. I was like very specific

1134
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 1: of what I wanted.

1135
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me about him.

1136
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.

1137
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: So his name is Matthew Monty. He's a doctor. He's

1138
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: a surf doctor, primarily orthopedics, but now he does functional medicine,

1139
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: so putting things in the body that our body actually

1140
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: wants and can use as fuel. And he's coming with

1141
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: me on the tour this year. So he's my doctor,

1142
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 1: my chauffeur, my messuse my love. This is his first winter.

1143
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 1: He lives in Kawai, so this is his first winter

1144
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: away from the ocean, and I was kind of like

1145
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: Kenny hang like Anny snowboard and he's absolutely ripping.

1146
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 2: Did you meet surfing?

1147
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: We actually met in Alaska Helly skiing, So I was

1148
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: up there filming and he came up on a Helly

1149
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: trip as one of the clients and we were staying.

1150
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 4: In the same lodge.

1151
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

1152
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: We started dating a couple of months after that, but

1153
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: that's where we met and we've been hooked at the

1154
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: hip ever since.

1155
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 2: I love this for you. There's hope for us.

1156
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 3: All Okay, heading toward the I here on a positive note.

1157
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 3: So the final question I have for you, Although I

1158
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 3: feel I could like gab with you all day every day,

1159
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 3: right now, you have an opportunity to offer yourself a

1160
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 3: piece of advice. Right when you were getting into professional skiing,

1161
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 3: starting to travel, kind of finding your own feet, you

1162
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to offer that younger woman a piece

1163
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 3: of advice.

1164
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 2: Looking back on it, right now what would you tell.

1165
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: Her, man, do you think I'm want to be rad

1166
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: if this was real? Like you're older, but more much

1167
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: yourself to come back and talk to you. Okay, Someboddy

1168
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 1: myself in her shoes, little college LEXI just starting to

1169
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: become a pro skier, you know, not take things too seriously.

1170
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 4: And I maybe mentioned this earlier.

1171
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: I think when we're younger, it's like when things don't

1172
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: go your way, it's like the world's crashing down on you,

1173
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: and it's just so serious. It's like the end of

1174
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: the world, Like, oh my god, nothing's going to get

1175
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: better than this. And just to realize that that is

1176
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: a waste of energy and it takes so much more

1177
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: energy to have those negative thoughts than it is to

1178
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: just like be easy, take it easy, put one foot

1179
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: in front of the other every day and just keep

1180
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: plugging away, and just love yourself the most, because that

1181
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: if you don't love yourself, then how can you love

1182
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: anything around you and appreciate anything Like I know all

1183
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: of us need to practice self love more. Every single

1184
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: person on this earth needs to practice it more. So

1185
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,640
