Episode 139: Live from the MTB trail with Nicolette Jones

On Episode 139 of Totally Deep Podcast, Doug Stenclik and Randy Young of www.cripplecreekbc.com bring you the lowdown on the world of uphill and backcountry skiing and boarding. Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast.   In this episode, Doug prototypes podcast production. In other words, he goes live from the trail, recording the episode as he ascended Midnight Mine to the top of Aspen Mountain. While Doug may have been on a svelte race rig, Nicolette rode her trusted bikepacking hardtail. (You decide who had the higher heart rate.)   Nicolette has skied (with some walking) the length of the Colorado Trail, and is a 3x winner of the Colorado Trail Race (it's high-speed bikepacking folks). You can read up on her latest victory on her blog. She's pretty much a crusher.       On Episode 139 of the Totally Deep Podcast: The Doug and Randy banter: reflecting on the Colorado Trail. Scouting the Colorado Trail-the early adventures. A 2022 ski traverse—out for 27 days... No powder to be found. The Colorado Trail on a bike. Bringing the bikepacking experience to racing strategy.
