Episode #190 - Mike Kaz | Ski Industry Rep, Specialty Retail Shop Buyer, & Artist

The Freeheel Life Podcast

Today’s guest has been in the Snowsports industry for nearly 30 years. He has worked in various retail positions along with working as a rep for such brands as Karhu, Dynafit, and more. We had a great discussion about where Telemark has been and where it’s headed, where specialty retail might be going in the future, shifts in manufacturing, and why Telemark skiers are so passionate. I’m psyched to call him a friend and was really excited about this conversation we had recently.
