Jonny Moseley is one of the true pioneers of freestyle skiing, he’s an Olympic gold medal mogul skier, he’s responsible for one of the most iconic moments in the history of modern skiing, and he is still very much at the forefront of skiing today. And in this conversation, we talk about it all.

Breezy Johnson just won the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal in women’s Downhill, and she also won Gold at the 2025 World Championships. So Breezy and Jonathan talk about winning Gold, but Breezy also talks about how she navigates the highs and the lows of life — and ski racing — in a way that most of us can likely learn from.

Connery Lundin is one of our favorite skiers because of his great style, but also because he’s one of the most well-rounded skiers out there. So he’s the perfect person to talk about a new concept, the ‘BOSS’ — Blister’s Overall Sickest Skier — and what the ideal background would be to become the BOSS.

We’ll be asking this question of a number of people in upcoming conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on who is the real BOSS, and what the best background is, in your opinion, to become one.
