Most Influential Mogul Skier Jonny Moseley | Season Pass

[Music] we all looked up to him he did more for seeing that day than a lot of people will do in their entire lifetime Mosley is a man he's absolutely the man when I started freestyle skiing it still looked a lot like this competitors throwing the same old tricks and lots of rigid rules then the 1998 Nagano Olympics happened one landing the 360 mute grab and winning the gold medal turned out to be way beyond what I ever expected won the gold we're gonna go here I'm gonna go ski from Warren Miller man that gold medal runs didn't just propel my ski career he does herd in a new era of freestyle and chains mogul skiing forever I was happy to carry that torch and when it comes to torch bearers who push the sport of skiing there are plenty of them at my home mountain Valley like JT Holmes the early 90s Jonny Moseley was the man on the Freestyle team he was put on the planet to ski moguls Olympian Aero curl when he threw that 360 knew crap I think he did more for scheme that day than a lot of people will do in their entire lifetime overnight transformed the sport from something that is old-school and kind of stuck in its ways Jonny Moseley I think single-handedly pulled a sport into cool into mainstream freestyle skiing has progressed so much since 98 and not just for mobile [Music] and as much as people say I've influenced the sport skiing has given me much more in return I've been able to travel to amazing places penske with incredible people but now there's nothing better than getting to pass on my love for skiing to my kids how my kids perceive my ski career how it affects them my original theory was that it would drive them to want to get out of town as quick as possible but it's so far it it's been positive [Music] I'm having like more fun skiing and I've ever had in the last few years I can distribute all of that - like going out skiing with them and seeing like stuff that they like to ski and like oh yeah I love to hit that off the side of the trail like all day long if I was so afraid they were gonna not like skiing and they are like up and dressed like let's get after it I always struggle constantly coaching them and so I always have to kind of pull back but it's tough because I kind of feel like like I need to pass on something of what I learned I hear them kind of grumble and then I say okay I won't say anything I won't say anything that's right and then two runs later what you got to do what are you doing once in a while Jack would be like well can you do backflip you know or something like that aspect are you do are you really asking me that question yeah Mosley's the man he's absolutely the man you know we all looked up to him I still look up to him I think that skiing is kind of a special sport in that your heroes are just around and they're approachable you know even ride a chairlift with them and have conversations and maybe even get a couple runs in somebody that's you know one inspired me so much and to done someone for our sport and I just love getting to spend time with him Skeen brings people together families communities it inspires it pushes boundaries it's constantly changing and to keep at it for this long is a gift you
