From living with ten roommates in Whistler while balancing training and summer jobs to representing Canada at two Olympic Games, Liam shares stories about chasing a dream that once felt impossible growing up on the East Coast, and why the joy of snowboarding has never left him.

Michael Haid

This week, Kendra sits down with designer and former mogul skier Michael Haid, who grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and eventually built a life in the Canadian Rockies. He looks back on learning to ski on a small rope tow, which led him into freestyle moguls and a national-level competitive career as a “grinder,” always chasing snow across Western Canada. From there, he moved into ski and snowboard apparel design, working with early industry brands like West Beach and Spider before going on to help create Olympic uniforms for national teams.

Bill Short

This week, Kendra sits down with Bill Short from Ceramic Pro, whose journey into the ski industry started later in life when he learned to snowboard at 56, inspired by his son and a desire to reconnect with the mountains after decades away. What began as a personal challenge quickly turned into a love for the quiet, freedom, and perspective found on snow. Bill also shares how Ceramic Pro, originally used to protect high-value assets like cars and airplanes, found a new purpose in the ski industry, helping preserve gondolas and lift bubbles from harsh mountain conditions.  What is it you love about winter?
