Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.
This week, Kendra sits down with Benjamin Alexander, Jamaica’s first ever Olympic downhill alpine ski racer. To share his incredible journey from a travelling DJ to an Olympic athlete. He shares how his childhood love for Cool Runnings and a life changing heli-ski trip in British Columbia inspired him to chase an audacious dream. From learning to ski at 32 to qualifying for the 2022 Winter Games, his story is one of courage, passion, and using visibility to bring diversity to winter sports.
