In this episode we talk with big mountain skier (and gravel/mountain/road cyclist, runner, physical trainer):

• The evolution of nutrition on long days in the mountains
• Getting into gravel cycling
• His approach to eating enough to fuel adventures
• Why strength is important for all athletes

John Collinson grew up on the hill at Snowbird Ski Resort with his sister, Angel. Their dad worked in the snow safety department, so the pair was skiing and understanding the mountains from a very young age. John’s mom homeschooled them in winter, allowing them to spend more time on skis. At 17, John won the Junior Freeskiing World tour, and the same year became the youngest person to climb the seven summits: the highest peak on each continent, and he did it in a year. After that he knew skiing had to be a part of his life, and kept competing on the Freeskiing circuit, as well as started a career filming with Sherpas Cinema. He then started filming with Teton Gravity Research & Matchstick Productions. From 2018-2022, John had a string of knee injuries, which led him down a road of discovery and learning about the human body. Showing his recoveries online inspired a new tangent to his career, offering online workout programs, as well as working as an in-person physical trainer. He’s found another passion in helping people move and feel better through exercise.
