Seth Wescott has roots that go back to the 80’s in snowboarding, which means he’s old, but being that he’s won the past two Mt. Baker Legendary Banked Slalom events, he’s now beating his peers and the ids out there…and that’s something he’s done his whole life.  From his CVA roots to Western State, the US Team, to the World Cup, to the Olympics, to riding in the big mountains, Seth has dominated everything but the X- Games and we talk about his storied, double Olympic Gold Medal career, head injuries and more on the podcast.
