37: Liam Fitzgerald on getting up Little Cottonwood Canyon Road Safely
b'
Liam Fitzgerald\\u2019s former job sets the bar for stressful job.\\xa0 He was the lead avalanche forecaster for the Utah Department of Transportation (and the Little Cottonwood Canyon Highway - you know, the road that leads up to Alta and Snowbird). Every day, he decides whether it\\u2019s safe enough for the public to drive up the highway.\\xa0 \\xa0
Curious what it\\u2019s like to do that job? What goes into keeping us safe as we drive highways through mountains without giving it a second thought? Then listen on because I\\u2019m excited to have Liam with us today. You\\u2019ll find articles on Liam in New York Times.\\xa0Powder Magazine, puts him in the category of iconic figures who defined skiing.
He has a fascinating life story how he sort of happened into this industry, and kept getting jobs he wasn\\u2019t qualified for but worked himself into it. (not the UDOT job, don\\u2019t worry.)

Hope you have fun listening to the many stories.
