Two great skiing conversations on this one great episode. Jeremy and Lance talk about the joys of Jeremy’s 14-year-old son’s growing passion for days on the hill with dad. And now, a little less dad. We talk about that moment when we are willing to let go, and trust, and hope, and pray, that “see you at the lodge at 4:00” proves real. Jeremy also shares a bit about a recent Utah trip that started as a tour of several areas, including The Canyons, but landed Jeremy right where his skiing soul belongs when in the Salt Lake Basin, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and Alta/Snowbird.
And if that isn’t enough, Mike has Jessica (she currently hails from Reno/Tahoe and seems to like Northstar a lot!) walk him through the benefits of Pilates as a workout regimen for skiers and snowboarders.
Lance and Mike are unofficially getting out the trip-tik and planning a trip to Truckee, CA. Their new best friends they haven’t met are perfectly represented by Shawn Bradley. These guys are daily Squaw Valley addicts, and they are called TheFirstChairBoys. You can find them on Instagram, where their popularity is exploding. Join them, and their roomies, TheFirstChairGirls on Insta and enjoy their frequent posts. These guys love to ski, make it a seasonal priority, and they have adapted quite well to the COVID-Apres “Carlodge.” We’ve got dibs on Shawn’s couch. And we’ll be on that first chair with him if we act quickly, for mountain nightlife is not an option this year.
Josh and Betsy Hall have three young kids, and all five get up to the mountain at least once a week. This episode is for families who can benefit from some exceptional planning and organization tips. From keeping everyones gloves in the right bins, to loading the truck with the best efficiency, this episode has everything you need to avoid pain (“Mom, where’s my helmet?), find the right pace for your day, reward extra runs, and learn to be responsible skiers as a family.
Mike and Lance talk about Mt. Bachelor. ‘Twas a beautiful 3 day ski weekend for Lance. Mike was there recently as well. We love Bend. We love Sunriver. We love Bachelor. And we do our best to share our history of the place with you. From accommodation location options, to food, to shuttles and parking, and, of course, skiing the whole mountain, we’ve got it all for you on this episode.
