In the nineteenth episode of the Husky International series I sit down with freeskier Sam Smoothy that I met up with after he attended the opening of a new The North Face brand store in Stockholm.
We talk about growing up in Lake Wanaka, New Zeeland, about his Outdoor loving family with a father who traveled the world to go climbing. We talk about how Sam got into skiing and what made him stay. About discovering freesking, about getting sponsored and how he started competing in the Freeride World Tour. About Skiing in North Korea where Sam made the movie North Korean Chronicles, about filming with the famous Teton Gravity Research crew for their new movie Tight Loose, celebrating TGR:s 21st birthday. And finally; if you Google "Sam Smoothy" you will read about his winning line in the FWT stop in Vallnord, Andorra, that has been namned one of, if not THE, raddest line in the FWT.
