About this episode

Zeb Powell discusses his unique style and journey in snowboarding with host Mike Powell.

Zeb Powell is the present and future of style in snowboarding and this week, it's a Powell-on-Powell episode aka Two Powell's One Pod. Like everyone, I've been blown away by what Zeb does on a 200cm+ board, off a knuckle, the vibe he brings to snowboarding,, and his creativity. I've wanted to get him on the show for a long time, and I'm stoked he's my last snowboard guest. On the podcast, we talk about Brand Jordan, NC, his family, his path, Stratton, X, and so much more. I'm closing out snowboarding with a legend in the making and Zeb doesn't disappoint.
