There are few as significant in the freeskiing world as Glen Plake, and perhaps none as well suited to share the stoke of simply sliding around on a pair boards and having a blast. One of a handful of people who helped “save skiing” and make it cool again in the late 1980s when a lot of the energy of the Hot Dog era was starting to fade, Glen talks about his life on skis, becoming a ski instructor, and why fresh powder is not the only thing that matters .
