Ian Provo and Neil Provo Interview – Utah Born and Bread Backcountry Locals

Mike Hardaker

As the visionary Founder and CEO behind Mountain Weekly News, Mike's life is a testament to the wild places he explores. A lifelong surfer, devoted outdoorsman, and a soul deeply connected to wildlife, dogs, and the rhythms of the Grateful Dead, he's a gear tester through and through. His seasons dictate his testing grounds: e-bikes, hunting, and backpacking gear dominate his summers, giving way to an intense focus on splitboards, snowboards, and vital avalanche safety equipment when the snow flies.
