Jeff Pensiero | The Bomb Hole Episode 108
After a heliboarding trip to a lodge whose décor and vibe was heavily focused on ski culture and realizing that all backcountry lodge experiences were designed around skiers needs and not snowboarders, Jeff realized we needed a lodge that was built for snowboarder’s, a place where we felt at home. In this episode we talk Baldface, backcountry, Craig Kelly, Travis Rive, Natural Selection, building a business, raising capital, business advice, supporting snowboarding, the experience, Valhalla and so much more! With a background and passion for resort management Jeff would build Baldface, a place where snowboarder’s could get the ultimate snowcat backcountry experience and then chill at a lodge that felt like a snowboarder’s club house. Join us as we hear direct from Jeff Pensiero how he made Baldface come to life and the road blocks that popped up along the way as well as why Baldface is a special place for snowboarding on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
