Since leaving school, Coen Bennie Faull has spent 12 years living the freeskiing dream, winters in Canada, Europe and his second home of Jackson Hole, have complemented his seasons in Mt Hotham where he is head coach/director of Hotham Freeski.

During that time Coen has cemented a reputation as Australia’s leading freeskier and while he has dabbled in freeride competitions at times, his main focus is film and photo projects in the backcountry.

 

 

In this episode of the Chillfactor podcast, Reggae Elliss chats to Coen about backcountry and big mountain freeskiing, managing the associated risks, the path that lead to life as a full-time skier and a lot more.
