Stan Rey has been announced as a Wildcard!   Mark and Derek are discussing the Injury and Wildcard updates coming from the FWT ahead of the Kicking Horse Golden Pro event next week.

We've learned that Simon Perraudin and Taylor Dobbins have been forced to withdrawal because of injury. Due to personal reasons, Justine Dufour Lapointe won't be competing at her home event in Canada this year.

Mark meets up with Stan on Whistler Blackcomb for a chairlift chat about what he expects from the event and if he thinks he's ready.  He even has some important news of his own!  

Stan was showing fellow Ski Men's competitor, Tenra Katsuno, around the mountain and we also chat with Tenra to help you get to know him better heading into Kicking Horse.
