Today we’re talking about all things ‘Kings & Queens of Corbet’s’ with Alex Hackel, who has podiumed both times he’s competed in the event. Alex Hackel just took 2nd place at Kings & Queens, he’s also 2-times X-games medalist, he’s the co-founder of 1000skis, and he’s a terrific filmmaker. I sat down with Alex in Jackson Hole after the comp to talk about all of this and a whole lot more.
