Mike Douglas is a living legend in the ski industry. He’s known in the ski world as “The Godfather”, he was one of the behind the scenes leaders of the New Canadian Air Force, a group that takes credit for the development of the first modern twin tip. Nowadays, he’s still a paid, pro skier but his focus is on filmmaking and his production company, Switchback Entertainment, has been killing it for over a decade. We talk about it all on the podcast.

Presque vingt ans pour changer le ski par la révolution de l’instinct.
Né au milieu des années quatre-vingt-dix dans les spatules de skieurs de bosses épris de créativité et inspirés par le snowboard, le freestyle a profondément changé ce vieux sport qu’est le ski.
Des premiers grabs de la Canadian Air Force jusqu’à la médaille d’or olympique de David Wise : c’est cette histoire qui est racontée pour la première fois dans un livre.
Avec les interviews de Julien Regnier et Kevin Rolland, Candide Thovex, Henrik Harlaut, Sammy Carlson, Nico Zacek, Mike Douglas, J.-F. Cusson, Joff Pollet-Villard, Ahmet Dadali, Tanner Hall, J.-P. Auclair, Eric Iberg, etc.
