Drew Petersen is back in the Gunnison Valley for the Blister Speaker Series, to go ski with Western Colorado University’s freeride team, and to participate in our (currently happening) Blister Summit. So I sat down in Blister HQ with Drew to talk about all of the above, and to dive deeper into certain topics around mountain towns and mental health that Drew explores in his film (that you can watch on YouTube), Ups & Downs.
Give it a listen, and please share this one with your friends, because we’ve all got something to learn on these topics.
