Markus's career took off after he won an internet wild card to Nine Knights in 2010, then it exploded even more at Red Bull Linecatcher, and if that wasn\u2019t enough, he lit the web on fire with his 2021 \u201cThe Ultimate Run\u201d release.  Honestly, Markus may be the most versatile skier I\u2019ve ever had on the podcast. A bold statement but the guy was a slopestyle athlete on the Italian Olympic team in Sochi in 2014, he\u2019s a film skier that consistently puts out segments, he was a Freeride World Tour athlete who won the whole tour in 2019, and he\u2019s spent the past two seasons standing on the podium at Travis Rice\u2019s prestigious Natural Selection events. I\u2019ve been trying to get Markus on the show for years and this timed perfectly for him to give his opinions on FIS, federations, and the Olympics. Red Bull.
