Episode 510 - Brian Lichi Interview

Ski mountaineering is a sport we’re still discovering, and one of the best guides on this journey is Aussie SkiMo athlete Brian Lichi. Brian has carved a strong path in the sport and is one of the key driving forces behind its existence and growth in Australia. His passion has taken him all the way to the top, where he currently serves as chair of the Australian SkiMo Committee within Snow Australia. In this epic chat, we explore Brian’s beginnings in the sport, the origins of SkiMo down under, and his own ‘selfish’ Olympic ambitions that fueled his journey. We also dive into what it took to grow the sport in Australia, the prospects for Australian athletes at Milano Cortina next year, the fun of designing uniforms, and which Australian animal should be used as SkiMo's mascot down under. It’s an epic conversation that will both entertain and educate — so get listening!
