We went out and spent a day with Aaron Smiley, a brewer at the Breck Brew Pub in Breckenridge, CO. Spending half his day making beer and the other half making turns, it would be hard to not categorize this one as a dream job. Supported by Breckenridge Brewery, Smiley is currently trying to climb the rankings on the Freeride World Tour through the Qualifiers series to compete on a professional level. Set back by knee injuries the past few years, his highest result was just off the podium with a fourth-place finish back in 2018. We will be checking in with Aaron throughout the season to see how the contest scene is going as he competes and shares some of his brewing life on the circuit. Keep an eye out for more coming Smiley, and buy him a beer if you see him.
