Wally also takes a deep dive into the evolution of skis over the last 20 years. Then we chat about testing skis for Powder Magazine and what "Powder Week" was all about. We even hear about how Wally met his wife in a ski town bar, where he likes to ski now, and what Wally's latest job entails.

I have been lucky enough to make skiing part of my life for the last 30 some odd years. I began skiing at Crystal Mt in Washington and then moved to Ketchum, Idaho after college where I worked at the local radio station as the morning show host which allowed me to ski just about every afternoon. I even got up extra early during the ski season to earn a ski pass by working as snow reporter. Now I make my home in Portland, Oregon and still try to ski whenever I get the chance.
