TPM Ep 221: Kent Kreitler, Legendary Skier, Part 2

Kent Kreitler is a living legend and TGR Hall of Famer.  He’ll be remembered as the skier who helped bring tricks to the backcountry but he was so much more than that.  He was part of an elite crew of skiers that pioneered big mountain skiing in Alaska….the generation that lived fast and took chances.  In part two of his podcast, we talk about the Tahoe years, filming with the Standard Crew, the terrain park on 215’s, the X Games, sponsors, money, and more….
