Description:

Chuck Mumford and Chris Garcin started Pit Viper to inject more fun into skiing and riding. But behind all the party vibes, they’ve also been sneaking in a good bit of functionality and performance into their products, too. So Jonathan Ellsworth talked to Chuck and Chris about the early days of trading sunglasses for hotdogs; growing the company; forest gnomes; working with Gronk; Chuck’s philosophy of ski reviewing, and more.
