TPM Episode 345: Chad Fleischer, Pro Skier, Olympian

Chad Fleischer is a badass American Downhiller known for his leopard print hair, his huge crash at the Hahnenkamm, and living a life being 100% in control of being 100%  out of control. Born and raised in the flatlands of Nebraska, Chad moved to Vail at 12 and didn’t join Ski Club Vail until he was 14. That late start didn’t slow him down. On the podcast, we talk about Nebraska, getting on the team, AJ, Kyle, Bode, Tommy, and so much more. Chad doesn’t hold back, and it’s an awesome one. AJ Kitt asks the Inappropriate Questions.
