Listen "Ep 20 - From Leopard Print to Trade Shows: The Rise of Pimp My Poles | Only Friends on a Pow Day"
Episode Synopsis
This week we sit down with Imi Scott, the designer and founder behind Pimp My Poles — the custom ski-pole wrap brand changing the look, feel, and fun of the snow industry.What started as a spontaneous leopard-print bike wrap has become a global side-hustle-turned-business, now seen on mountains across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada and beyond. Imi joins Austin live from the trade show to talk creativity, building a brand with personality, and why ski poles deserve as much style as jackets and skis.We get into: 🎿 How Pimp My Poles started (by total accident) ✨ Sustainability + giving scratched poles a second life 🔥 Wrapping poles at après parties (yes, really) 👀 Disability-friendly cane wraps 🤝 Collabs with Nobody’s Princess + future artist projects 🌏 Going global: Whistler, NZ, Japan, Europe 😂 Trade show chaos, TikTok fame, and the “Fairy Pole Mother” energyIt’s equal parts founder story, snow culture, and pure creativity — with plenty of laughs and ski-bum honesty along the way.If you love skiing, design, or people building fun things from scratch… this one is an instant favourite.#pimpmypoles #skiseason #australiansnow #snowpodcast #skiaustralia #customgear #sustainablegear #snowsportslife #womeninsnowsports #apresski #snowculture #fallscreek #hotham #perisher #queenstownnz #whistlerblackcomb #snowmachine #skiinglife #leopardprintlife #skiindustry #snowcommunity #mountainsarecalling #wintervibes #aussieskiers #snowvibes #snowcrew #skifashion #onlyfriendsonapowday #poldaddy #fairypolemotherSupport the showThanks for listening, stay frothy and have fun!
