THE POWELL MOVEMENT - ALEX SCHLOPY

On the latest episode of The Powell Movement's podcast, Alex Schlopy, one of the most accomplished professional freeskiers in history, talks about his personal struggles after he just missed making the U.S. Olympic Team in 2014. What followed is a difficult tale of his downward spiral into drugs, depression, suicide attempts and an arrest, followed by Alex admirably seeking treatment and getting back into the sport he loves, all of which he candidly discusses in detail. It's a heavy, but must listen.
