“Beyond honored to tape an episode of the Bombhole today. Air horn for Chris Grenier and his formidable co-host Mary Walsh. What a blast to talk all things snowboarding for a couple of hours with these two. Even got a ride in the Bombhole limo!” -Donna Carpenter
Really enjoyed this candid interview with Burton Snowboard’s head honcho Donna Carpenter who sat down for a full 3 hour interview with The Bomb Hole Podcast. Running one of the biggest snowboard companies in the world is no easy task and she provides fascinating insights into the job including dispelling the humors they were selling last year which she described as “f*cked up.” If you’re worried about Burton getting purchased you shouldn’t be as Donna is on record saying she will “never, never” sell. Here’s a quick description of the episode:
“Owner and Chair of the Board for Burton, Donna Carpenter is uncensored and unapologetically herself – and boy do we like it. For some reason, almost all of us snowboarders have something in common. Regardless of our upbringing, snowboarding has been there for us to turn to in rough times and in good. Many of us have found a family through snowboarding and no matter who you are, you have a space here. Since day one, Donna has been committed to not only creating but cultivating and supporting this culture we all know as home. We dive into the history of Burton, their biggest challenges, and everything you need to know about Donna Carpenter. So sit down and buckle up for the conversation of the century on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!”
