TPM Episode 174: Marcus Caston, Pro Skier

Marcus Caston’s ski career started in the race world. His goal was the Olympics but he didn’t get close. When he didn't make the college team, he was over it... But skiing is all he knows.  He got back into it through photography, which he parlayed into his first Warren Miller trip and his career takes off. Now, he’s on the other side of the lens and he’s become one of the most photographed and published skier of modern times. It’s a good episode
