2026/03/09
Connery Lundin is one of our favorite skiers because of his great style, but also because he’s one of the most well-rounded skiers out there.

We’ll be asking this question of a number of people in upcoming conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on who is the real BOSS, and what the best background is, in your opinion, to become one.
