Jason Arens was the Head Ski Judge at the Milan Cortina Olympics and when he's not traveling the most important ski events, to judge the best athletes in the world, he's an Owner of Surface Skis, Joystick Poles, and Causwell Outerwear. Jason always has a lot going on...I met him calling tricks at a contest years ago, I was blown away by his ski nerdery, and these days, Jason may be the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to competition skiing. On the podcast, we talk his sponsored ski career, Olympics, judging, Good Enough, brands and more. Khai Krepela and the Good Enough crew collaborate on the Inappropriate Questions.

Tanner Rainville isn't really a talker, he's a pro skier who lets his skiing do the talking. And while his skiing started with contests, he graduated to the big screen and for 23 years he's put out a video segments with the major players in the ski film business. Tanner Rainville is all about passion and skiing, he doesn't self promote and getting him to want to do this podcast wasn't easy. But, for a dude who's been crushing it at the top level for so long, I had to tell his story. Chris Logan asks the Inappropriate Questions.
