Description
Stanley Larsen was one of the original Hot Doggers. Known for his loose contest runs that earned him titles like Canadian National Champion, French Freestyle Champion, Swiss Aerial Champion, and European Champion, Stanley was so much more than a contest guy. Fifty years before the Nimbus Crew existed, Stanley Larsen was looked at as the first skier to look at the mountain like a blank canvas and make art with his skiing. And when his skiing was done, Stanley made art in Hollywood, directing Super Bowl commercials and more. On the podcast, we talk about his counterculture roots, Dick Barrymore, Warren Miller, The Marlboro Tour, the death of hotdog skiing, and more. These history lessons are important and not to be missed.
