Chugach Powder Guides

This past Saturday, Jonathan had a phenomenal day in the mountains with Chugach Powder Guides, and our helicopter pilot, Tori Palmer. So in our latest Blister Podcast, he talks with Tori to get her pilot’s perspective on the day; her path to becoming a heli pilot and the training that’s involved; mentoring women who want to become a pilot; what you should - and should not - do as a passenger in a heli; and more.
