    Finn Bilous is not only an incredible all-around skier, but he’s one of those passionate but chill Kiwis…which always makes for a fun episode.  On top of that, Finn really has done it all: from competing in two Olympics to the Freeride World Tour, to Filming with Matchstick Productions, Teton Gravity Research, and Legs of Steel. Not many skiers have a resume as diverse as what Finn has put together. Another incredible talent out of New Zealand, Craig Murray, asks the Inapproprate Questions.
