This weeks show features probably our biggest guest to date, we have 2014 Womens Halfpipe Olympic Gold Medalist Kaitlyn Farrington! Not only is she a halfpipe badass, being the first woman to land a BS 1080, but she has racked up Xgames medals and Dew tours wins as well as a European Xgames gold medal as well as tour wins and more. After a minor fall lead to discovering a potentially very dangerous condition, she was told by doctors to completly stop snowboarding. Compromising with her doctors to be as she puts it a "grounded snowboarder" now Kaitlyn is shredding pow around the world! We talk with her about competitive snowboarding, the switch to the backcountry and guiding, her amazing volcano tour where she did 24 volcano tours in just 5 weeks, and we talk a bit about what goes into designing your own snowboard.
