CURE Q&A: JULIAN CARR

We recently sat down with pro skier and entrepreneur Julian Carr for a quick Q&A. Julian holds 2 world records for cliff ski jumping (ever intentionally launched yourself off a 210' ledge? Same.) and founded the Cirque Mountain Running Series, now in its 3rd season. We wanted to learn a bit more about his routine and how he manages to do it all. 

JC: In the winter, early. In the summer, 7:30AM.

What’s your go-to breakfast in the morning?

JC: Two eggs over-medium on a bed of quinoa with one full avocado, three green olives, and bacon. And coffee.

What does a typical day look like for you during ski season?

JC: Get up early, hike somewhere for sunrise photography, and ski/shoot the rest of the day. Might get some resort laps mid-day, then hike somewhere for sunset.

Off-season?

JC: Wake up, make coffee, check emails, work, phone calls, meetings, and hike somewhere for a quick peak hike in SLC bench.  

What do you like to eat (or drink) after you ski?

JC: Just a nice cold beer.

JC: Hydration is key.

What time do you go to bed?

JC: I'm a night owl, usually midnight to 2am.

Any evening rituals?

JC: Peak hike at sunset.

JC: In the winter, Mount Wolverine. In the summer, Mount Olympus.

JC: My first day I ever skied in 8th grade. I immediately fell in love with skiing. I knew I'd ski forever.

JC: Usually working on my businesses, hiking with my dog Lexie, shooting hoops, wakesurfing, camping, traveling, listening to all kinds of music, and drawing mazes.

JC: Lemon.
