Episode Description

At Blister Summit 2025, we sat down with professional skiers Mallory Duncan, Anne Wangler, Noah Gaffney, and Jake Hopfinger. Now, this isn’t your average conversation about skiing rad lines in wild places — these athletes wanted to get real and talk about the things that sometimes go unspoken. We chat about how they present themselves when they’re going through hard times, the personal financial aspects of a ski career, their career longevity, and much more.
