Today I’m talking with Atomic athletes Daron Rahlves and Janelle Yip, and Noah Wallace, a former pro skier who is now the global manager for the Atomic freeski program. We get into what Daron and Janelle are doing just before ski season kicks off; the return of a beloved event put on by Daron; and Janelle tells the story of her gnarly crash this past winter. That then segues into why Atomic decided to cover their entire global freeski team with BLISTER+, and why we want to see companies continue to take better care of their athletes.
