21 – Avalanche Training and Mt. Baker Review with Colin

21 – Avalanche Training and Mt. Baker Review with Colin


listeners loved Colin’s interview during Episode 13. This is the follow-up we promised. Colin has now completed avalanche training and backcountry education. He’s also already got 18 days of skiing and it is only January 20. His local hill is near Bellingham, Washington. It is Mt. Baker, a rockin’ awesome area. Colin gives a comprehensive overview of all aspects of Mt. Baker. He’ll lead you through the most extreme of its turf, the generally difficult terrain, and cruiser runs for everybody. Baker is famous for two unique races. They are the Banked Slalom and Ski to Sea. It has a natural half-pipe. That’s where the Banked Slalom race happens. Ski to sea is a race that starts with downhill skiing on Mt. Baker, includes cross-country skiing, cycling, and kayaking. Enjoy this groovy episode.

4 – Rating Ski Town Jobs & Mustard Color and Wood Panel Station Wagon

We have dozens of years of observing resort employees, seasonal help, restaurant and hospitality servers, and retail workers.  Maybe this discussion will help you decide what kind of work to pursue in the soon-to-occur hiring fairs?  It’s hardly a how-to episode.  All vision.

Then Lance shares a family wound to his self-worth.  Support him by listening to his childhood commute to the mountain.
