This week, Kendra sits down with Canadian ski racer James Crawford, the first Canadian to win Kitzbühel in nearly 40 years. He shares what it felt like to conquer one of the world’s most legendary downhill races and what goes through his mind when he’s speeding down the mountain at over 150 km/h. He opens up about the balance between fear and focus, the mental strength it takes to compete at the top, and the importance of staying grounded through it all. From his early days on skis with his dad to earning his name on a Kitzbühel gondola, James reflects on how the mountains have shaped his character, his career, and his love for the sport that continues to push him forward.
