Ep. 1013: Kayaking the Northwest Passage - West Hansen

Being a restaurant owner during this Coronavirus outbreak is not a walk in the park. However, facing seemingly insurmountable challenges is nothing new to Melissa. Today she tells us her story of overcoming a terrible accident that nearly completely jeopardized her love of climbing. She still deals with trauma, but she has learned to use it as fuel to continue moving forward. I hope it inspires you, no matter what you’re going through. birdandjim.comInstagram: @melissaistrong @birdandjimFacebook: @melissaistrong @birdandjimrockandice.com/features/life-and-limbdenver.cbslocal.com/2017/10/30/electrocuted-thumbs-sewn-onto-armsOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASPSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mark is so easy to talk to about all sorts of topics that you forget he’s an iconic freeskier with numerous awards under his belt. In 2005 and 2007 he won the Powder Video Awards for Best Male Performance and is well known by his amazing freeskiing skills that are captured in film through his nearly two-decade relationship with Matchstick Productions. In fact, he’s been featured in every single MSP film for the last 18 years, as well as several Warren Miller and Poor Boyz movies. It hasn’t gone to his head, though. He started mogul skiing before switching to park competitions and chipping a career out over the years. He says it has humbled him and led to a certain amount of contentment over the years. He’s incredibly down to earth and always eager to talk about health, longevity, and his used veggie oil-fueled adventure truck. He joins us from his home near Whistler, BC. This interview originally comes from the other podcast I host, Without Compromise.
