This week we speak with Mike Douglas who is widely regarded as the 'Godfather' of Free-skiing, as he has helped influence and shape the sport of skiing over his many years.
In this two part episode, part one we look at his early days of skiing, how he got involved with the sport an begin to dive into development story of the Iconic Salomon 1080 ski.
In today's inter connected world we perhaps take for granted that how simple it is get in touch with people; so bringing a new concept and product to market was a much greater challenge. After approaching all the big brands and names... it was Salomon who could see the vision of what Mike and the Team had conceived.
Mike also is passionate about the outdoors & the environment being the Chair of POW Canada, ( Protect Our Winters), and is an accomplished Director/ Producer and Film Maker for Switchback Entertainment. Lots going on and we cover that in part 2.
