Chris shares his coping tool when the resorts are sold-out: show up with AT gear and two friends and earn some turns in the backcountry, side-country, or wherever the adventure awaits. He tells us all about the progression of gear, thoughts on safety, and his dedication to lifestyle fitness. And there is also the tree. If it weren’t for all the cold east coast snow, one might say Chris’s intro to skiing at 13 years old was a bit of a baptism by fire.

How ’bout that jacket!
One of our Midwest callers, Erin, reminds us to explore the Indy Pass. A great 2-day per resort pass that features some smaller resorts throughout North America. Erin caught the ski-but last year, in her 40s! She reminds us that the little areas can rock, and the pass might be an affordable way to diversify the family ski weekend experiences.
Lance abandons a blue-only parka life, and Mike recalls showing up to a guys ski trip wearing leather. Despite COVID, the season is in full bloom, and we are On The Lift!

Labor Day Vibe and JB Misses First Tracks
Mike and Lance deliver. That is, they deliver their early season mountain dining experiences to OTL listeners. Large lodges are sitting empty. But the food prep remains abuzz in the kitchens. We talk about the COVID-look of grab yer food and scatter, architectural changes to mountains because tent dining is apparently safer than in-lodge. We talk about the blossoming bring-your-own-food practices, cook stoves, soccer-parent chairs. And being ready to make your car your personal hot cocoa stop.

If you haven’t been to the mountain yet, take your face covering options seriously. It will make a difference.

Bear with some “levels” issues, we’re still figuring this out. BUT – THE CONTENT IS WHAT YOU WANT! This episode has interviews from two different 19 year olds who’ve both got-it-goin-on! Learn all about what it takes to stumble into a groomer job at one of the nations best resorts. Then we switch to Josiah’s view of the mountain…. From OAHU! He’s a shredder, no doubt. And he gets his gumption from a surfing background. We get into a little bit of boar-sport psychology. And we have fun!
