Last Friday, we had a GEAR:30 conversation (episode #166) with McKenna Peterson, where we discuss her ski gear preferences; what piece of gear she’s still searching for; & more.
Today, we’re diving into McKenna’s past and present to talk about her segment in the new MSP film, “The Stomping Grounds”; discuss some of the formative events of her life, and learn more about what makes this professional skier (and professional commercial fishing captain) tick.

A great episode, and coming from a fishermans family that part was completely unexpected and left me deeply impressed with her. Now i regret going to work on land… :)
as a life long hard working slacker who did not fall for skiing(pun intended…) unttil nearly 40, to hear that a rippin’ skier’s MOM was a ski bum makes me deliriously happy with envy…
