Alpine Pulse – River Radamus: Artistry in Alpine Racing

River Radamus (USA / Rossignol) has become one of the most distinctive voices and athletes on the World Cup Tour—an explosive racer whose bold style, signature hair, and creative mindset have made him a standout of his generation. In the latest episode of Alpine Pulse, host Nick Fellows sits down with River for an open and lively conversation about the passion, artistry, and resilience behind his skiing.

River reflects on growing up in a ski‑devoted family in Vail, Colorado, and how the balance of freedom, fun, and ambition shaped his early years. He shares candid insights into his Youth Olympic triumph, the ups and downs that followed, and the personal drive that keeps him evolving on the world stage.

It probably goes without saying, but I wake up every morning loving what I do. And just overwhelmingly grateful to have turned my deepest passion into some semblance of a job, you know, for this short window.River Radamus (USA / Rossignol)

From creativity as a performance tool to the mental strategies he relies on under World Cup pressure, River offers an honest and empowering look at what fuels him. Tune in for authentic reflections, Olympic aspirations, and the mindset that keeps River Radamus pushing the boundaries of American ski racing.
