Description
Will Wesson is a 32 year old X- Games Gold Medalist that doesn’t do contests. He also happens to be the most popular pro skier that you’ve never heard of (if you're over the age of 35). Hailing from the East Coast, Will is the quiet athlete in the pioneering webisode series, The Traveling Circus, a show documenting the style and travels of Will and his longtime bff, Andy Parry. Will made it to the pro ranks the hard way and we talk about his route to internet fame and a long, pro ski career. He doesn’t do interviews and I believe this is the most he’s talked in his life.
