TPM Episode 197: Barrett Christy, Pro Snowboarder

Another week, another legendary athlete.  Barrett Christy didn’t start snowboarding until she was 19 years old.  She was a scholarship-level team sports girl who traded her scholarship for a life-changing road trip that led her to snowboarding.  On the podcast we talk about winning more X Games medals than almost anyone, competing in the Olympics, equality, money, and so much more.  It’s another do not miss episode.
