How to Ski It

In Episode 37, the crew gets straight to the point about the "snow drought (snought)" currently gripping the West. With temperatures hitting a staggering 66°F in Boulder and 43°F at Eldora, the mountains are seeing more melting than accumulating in what should be the heart of winter.The hosts dive into the grim statistics: Front Range snowfall is sitting at less than 8 inches (well below the 27-inch average) and skier traffic has plummeted across the state. They discuss a viral comparison of skiing at Vail versus taking a full trip to Bansko, Bulgaria, questioning if the soaring costs of American ski resorts are still sustainable when the snow won't show up.Despite the "snought" snow and dirt-patched runs, they find some silver linings in family days at Mary Jane and the benefits of "skwirking (skiing while pretending to work)". Can't get enough of How to Ski It?

In Episode 36, the crew finally hits the slopes after a long dry spell, heading to Eldora to test out the latest in ski tech and assess the mid-January conditions. While the resort claims a 28-inch base, the team provides a "hot take" on what the coverage actually looks like on the ground.This week on the podcast:The Carv Review: Ryan breaks down his first day using Carv digital ski coach sensors. We discuss his "B-minus" ski IQ, turn tempo, and whether AI coaching can actually make you a better skier.Action Cam Showdown: We review the DJI Osmo 360 camera and a specialized ski pole mount, discussing how much easier it is to film your friends when the camera does the tracking for you.The Telluride Strike: A serious look at the end of the 13-day ski patrol strike in Telluride.

In this episode of How to Ski, the team tackles the "lies and tall tales" of early-season snow reporting. With Colorado experiencing historically low snowfall in some watersheds, the hosts dive into why resort-reported "bases" don't always match the reality on the ground. They share firsthand reports from recent days at Vail and Eldora, discussing everything from "war zone" conditions at the top of the mountain to the surprisingly good skiing found on man-made snow at the bottom.The conversation then shifts to the most controversial topic in the industry: the Telluride Ski Patrol strike. The hosts break down the facts of the closure, debating the ethics of a billionaire owner versus the demands of the workers, and the unfortunate "collateral damage" hitting the local community.Finally, we cover global ski news, including new fines for "un-cool" behavior in Japan, the dominance of Mikaela Shiffrin, and the massive expansion plans for Winter Park. Plus, stay tuned for some unconventional training tips—like walking backward on a treadmill with a weighted vest—to get your quads ready for when the ropes finally drop.Can't get enough of How to Ski It?

We told everyone not to panic about the snow a few weeks ago.We may have been wrong.In this episode of How to Ski It, the crew assesses the early-season reality: thin coverage, closed terrain, and the very real question of whether you should pack skis, a mountain bike, or both. They talk Aspen, Taos, bump runs that never end, legendary instructors, and the fine line between “it’ll be fine” and “this is bad.”There’s also a reminder to be careful who you ski with (they might be an Olympic medalist), why some runs demand full commitment, and why skiing without snow makes podcasting… difficult.Low snow. High opinions. Mild panic.Can't get enough of How to Ski It?

Colorado finally got snow–so naturally everyone lost their minds. In this episode, the crew breaks down the first real winter weekend: Aspen’s 45-minute gondola line, Eldora’s epidemic of straight-liners, and I-70’s biannual reminder that semi-trucks apparently come with “optional” chains.Marcus is testing new boots that are suspiciously comfortable, Dave accidentally bought park skis that don’t fit in gondola racks, Ryan is deep in uphill-mode season, and Dylan’s kids may be more excited about skiing than all of us combined.Plus: a Vail powder day recap, free-skiing secrets for Colorado kids, a surprisingly touching review of the new Warren Miller film, and the eternal truth that the tavern’s gluten-free donuts are worth the lift ticket alone.It’s early-season stoke meets early-season chaos–with gear talk, safety rants, pro tips, and just enough sarcasm to keep you warm on a cold chairlift.Can't get enough of How to Ski It?

Colorado is off to one of its driest ski seasons in decades, and we're feeling it. With almost no snow on the ground and a meaningful start that’s the latest any of us can remember, we break down what’s happening across the Rockies: ski areas delaying openings, early-season conditions that are more “mountain bike chic” than “powder day,” and what history (hello, 2021) can actually tell us about what might come next.We also talk ski patrol labor battles, new skis we’re dying to use, uphill setups, Matchstick’s latest ski film, shopping at EVO, and the baffling new 2034 Winter Olympics logo.
