Well, I did it.
I didn’t want to.
In the end I couldn’t help myself.
I buckled to the peer pressure.
All the damn talk of El Nino.
On the very last day.
At the very last possible moment.
I pulled the trigger on a season pass.
A Tahoe season pass.
I want to be giddy with joy.
I want this to be the year.
You know the one, knee-deep powder, sunshine, epic days spent with a giant grin on my face and surrounded by the best of friends. Hot toddies and buffalo wings.
Will this be the year we get enough snow, so I can earn my turns, or at least ski more than three runs of man-made Sierra sadness.
Julian Carr is fearless. He’s famous for a lot of things, but he’s probably best well-known for skiing off gigantic, terrifying, multi-hundred foot cliffs. As part an elite crew of extreme athletes, he’s doing things that seem to go beyond the limits of the human body.
You’d think someone this gutsy would have to be a dick to do what he does, but he’s also a supremely nice guy—someone you’d want to hang out with on the ski slopes or down at the ski lodge bar. He’s also a clever and thoughtful designer and founded the Discrete clothing line, which has grown steadily since it began. We recently caught up with Julian and asked him some questions about what makes him tick.
What are you most proud about: Being happy and healthy.
Where do you see yourself in five years time: Being healthy and happy.
