<description>&lt;p&gt;You know I like a good ski story. Today&amp;#39;s guest has one of the best. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jake Brown never made it to junior nationals and assumed he wouldn&amp;#39;t pursue sports in college. Instead, he wound up being a DI, DII and DIII athlete, leading St. Olaf to a national title in cross-country and emerging as an All-American as a super-senior at Northern Michigan. Along the way, he discovered biathlon — a sport which brought him around the world over the course of successful decade-plus pro career. Brown represented Team USA at 5 world championships and an Olympics. He retired after this season, but stumbled upon the Seder-Skier Podcast before it started.&lt;/p&gt;
