In part two of our conversation with Mike, we finish off speaking about the Salomon 1080 story \\u2013 but it leads nicely into the conversation about the formation Switchback Entertainment ( his production company),  and his work with Salomon Japan & the start of Salomon Freeski TV, now known as Salomon TV.  

\\n

\\u201cHow can we shake up the Traditional Ski Movie Model??\\u201d  - Short form action & online \\u2013 which was in 2007; yet again challenging conventions and this time the way we consume certain types of media.  http://tv.salomon.com

\\n

We also talk with about Mike about his work with POW (Protect Our Winters) Canada which is something he is also very passionate about having spent so much time in the mountains and seeing first-hand the changes in snowpack.

\\n

As the Chair of POW Canada, he shares his role in the organisation as well the vision and philosophy behind it.
