He's known as Mr. Show Skiing. The best male skier award at Nationals is named after him. Show Skiing is forever changed because of the late, great Skip Gilkerson. On today's episode we have Matt May and Mark Jackson join us to share all sorts of stories about Skip and his past and his contributions to show skiing. Skip was a top skier, show director, and official. He was Show Director of the Tommy Bartlett Show for 23 years. He had a flare about him and was a stickler for costuming and showmanship. He also ran the pro tour in it's hay day and worked at MasterCraft for many years. Skip's greatest contribution was the gift of time. He gave and gave and gave. He held clinics at numerous amateur clubs and he judged nearly 40 Division 1 Nationals. You'll learn a lot about Skip in this episode, including some stuff you're probably never heard before.
