Question: how does a ski bum go from starring in the beloved movie G.N.A.R. (you know, Gaffney’s Numerical Assessment of Radness) to running for mayor? And why?

To get some answers, we talked to Spencer Cordovano who is running to be the mayor of Ketchum, Idaho, and our hope is that by sharing Spencer’s story, we might inspire more people who are passionate skiers and riders to get more educated and more involved in local politics.

So in this conversation, you’ll get to hear how Spencer went from ripping BN runs the movie G.N.A.R., to working to mobilize a certain constituency and demographic to make the mountain town he lives in and the community he loves … even better.
