Okay, so obviously Target skis are not all Tom and I talked about here, but I thought it was an interesting take from one of the best to do it.
We also spent some time on Fast Tracks, but you'll have to listen in on the interview to hear his take on that, Mega Passes, Seven Springs, and so much more.
Thanks to Tom for spending some time chatting with me.

Nick Martini was supposed to be the biggest thing in skiing, and when he was healthy, he was going in that direction, but injuries got the best of Nick’s ski career. Good thing he was also an award-winning filmmaker who had plenty of downtime to hone his craft. These days, Nick’s Stept Productions has evolved into Stept Studios and what was a small crew based out of Colorado is now a thriving studio, employing 40+ people and continuing to live the dream. It’s an awesome conversation.
