Joe Davies has notched multiple top-20 World Cup finishes representing Great Britain. The 24-year-old takes us through his compelling backstory, starting with his childhood in British Columbia through racing on the American college circuit.
The Olympic season is nearing, and we'll hear from a few more athletes before it kicks off. Got anyone you want to hear from? Drop us a line with your requests and feedback: devon[at]fasterskier.com and nat[at]fasterskier.com. We'll be back soon.
Guys, the Olympic season is upon us. Athletes are getting into the sharp end of the dry-land season and waiting for snow to fall; Devon and Nat have awakened from summer hibernation and have launched the new season of the podcast. This year's will be like nothing you've seen before, except with similar amounts of questionable audio production, perfunctory efforts to avoid using profanity and unkept promises of future guests.
In all seriousness, we're excited to be back for a big year. In this episode, we check in with Vermonter Ben Ogden, a bona fide American Olympic medal hopeful at age 25. Ben catches us up on his summer training, his Olympic vibe and his World Cup facial hair hot takes.
