Episode #30

Brought to you by Grand Targhee Resort

“[I made my dreams a reality] by following my heart. I can't think of another reason why it happened… Especially with skiing, I knew from a very young age I was going to be skiing was going to be my life. And I was able to keep that I didn't deviate from that and the rest falls in place if you've got a good anchor.” - Tom Day

• Tom was a skier in the legendary, game-changing ski movie Blizzard of Ahhhs from 1988
• Tom is still such a badass freeskier that he skied the Chimney at Squaw Palisades Tahoe only 2 years ago at the age of 58 - Very few people have the guts to ski this line in their prime...
• Tom is one of the best and smoothest skiers I've ever witnessed
• Tom grew up skiing Bolton Valley in Vermont and has spent his adult life in Squaw Valley Palisades Tahoe where he still resides
• Toms stories from behind the scenes in the ski movie world are absolutely priceless
