This week, Freeskier’s Nate Abbott joined Sammy Carlson for a live Google+ Hangout. Carlson graces the cover of our November issue (Volume 16.3); the photo was snapped by Ashley Barker near Whistler, BC.

Throughout the 20 minute interview, Sammy recalls the day the photo was snapped, reflects on his career thus far, talks about his Olympic aspirations and answers a variety of  audience-submitted questions.

Note: The 2013 November issue (Volume 16.3) will be available on newsstands beginning 10/22/13. Freeskier Magazine is also available via the iTunes newsstand..
