The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast

Mike Douglas is a living legend in the ski industry.  He’s known in the ski world as “The Godfather”, he was one of the behind the scenes leaders of the New Canadian Air Force, a group that takes credit for the development of the first modern twin tip.  Nowadays, he’s still a paid, pro skier but his focus is on filmmaking and his production company, Switchback Entertainment, has been killing it for over a decade.  We talk about it all on the podcast.
