Episode Description

On Episode 129 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.

From two wheels and high-tech frames to sliding on skins uphill, Randy and Doug discuss the season among us: Transition season. They'll set the stage as Doug recounts his most excellent trip to Lake Placid, where he witnessed Christopher Blevins secure the Men's Elite UCI XCO & XCC World Cup Overall Wins.

The banter pivots hard to the snow falling in the high hills and the gear they're eyeing this season. Some key points are made. Here's what is clear: Tariffs will impact pricing, and brands like Pomocoa, Dynafit, ATK, and Fischer may have some sweet gear to round out your backcountry gear.

The snow falls, and Doug takes a spill.
Questioning performance and bike socks might be the difference.
The UCI MTB World Cup in Lake Placid.
