Getting Lifted with Bud Whitehead

Few people in Steamboat Springs have a job that just about everyone in town sees you do. But when it comes to his work, Bud Whitehead of Wild West Balloon Adventures loves nothing more than getting people lifted above Yampa Valley.

In the latest episode of the Common Folk in the Boat podcast, Eli of Steamboat Locals Media and Dave from Billo catch up with Bud to talk about his role as Steamboat’s only active balloon pilot. This entertaining conversation covers everything from the use of a “spit-ometer” to Bud’s legendary skier drop onto the top the Sleeping Giant.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
