We recently sat down with pro skier and entrepreneur Julian Carr for a quick Q&A. Julian holds 2 world records for cliff ski jumping (ever intentionally launched yourself off a 210' ledge? Same.) and founded the Cirque Mountain Running Series, now in its 3rd season. We wanted to learn a bit more about his routine and how he manages to do it all.
