This week on the "Sponsored" podcast, freeskiing legend Skogen Sprang stops by to talk with host by Mike Powell about his career as a competition and film skier, his style and versatility. "I did look at it as you should be able to ski every aspect of freeskiing," says Sprang. "You should be good at all these things. And I just enjoyed it, too. For me, always the big mountain and powder and backcountry stuff has been the pinnacle goal of being in the mountains, enjoying it, creating cool looking shots, or images, really just being out there and enjoying the mountains and the soul aspect of that, but then I equally love being out in urban areas and getting creative with some setup and getting technical and playing around in the streets, sliding metal. That's equally as fun just in a totally different way." 1:47: Moved to Park City for the U.S. Team 3:08: Growing up with two brothers and how he got into skiing? 5:26: Switching to snowboarding 7:49: Moving to Tahoe to become a pro snowboarder 10:40: How did he get on Line Skis and what were things line in the late 90s? 17:22: The style of his skiing and skiing everything 20:27: Competition mindset 22:19: The highlights of filming 24:22: The injury 26:53: Starting a valet business 28:43: Head Coach, U.S. Slopestyle Team
