13cm?? It looks more like 20cm on the snow ruler this morning and will be deeper in leeward terrain! Glacier Chair cracked yesterday; the Alpine was wind pressed and catchy yesterday; Blackcomb ski-out to Base 2 is open; and today will be stormy with another 10cm expected throughout the day. Happy Boxing Day ^_^
I love a good Christmas story.The kind where something strange and wonderful happens out in the wilderness. Where the magic of the season reaches places most people never go. Where even the darkest corners of the forest feel touched by something warm and old and meaningful.Over the years, I've told you stories like that.Stories of Sasquatch sightings on snowy December mornings.Of mysterious gifts left on remote cabin doorsteps.Of unexplained tracks leading to and from places where no tracks should exist at all.But tonight, friends, I'm not here to warm your heart.Tonight, I'm here to freeze your blood.South Carolina. 1985.A young insurance adjuster named Gerald Hutchins inherits a remote cabin deep in the forest from his great-uncle Amos. The old man had lived alone out there for more than twenty years, and the family whispered that he came back from the war… changed. Haunted. Given to muttering in languages no one recognized. Drawing strange symbols he would immediately burn in the fireplace.Gerald decides the cabin would be the perfect place to spend Christmas with his wife, Ellen, and their thirteen-year-old son, Marcus.A real holiday, he tells them. The kind they used to have before television and convenience took over. Just a family, a fire, and the quiet peace of the winter woods.What Gerald doesn't tell them is what he found when he first visited the cabin alone.The chains hanging above the fireplace.The birch switches stained dark with something he didn't want to examine too closely.And the mask. A horrible wooden mask with hollow eyes and a grin carved with far too many teeth.He doesn't tell them about the sound he heard coming from the second floor.The sound of hooves on hardwood. As Christmas Eve settles in, the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall. And the Hutchins family will learn that some traditions are older than Christianity. Some punishments are older than coal in a stocking. And some things that were meant to stay in the old country followed our ancestors across the ocean—hiding in the shadows of their ships, waiting patiently for the right moment to remind us that the old ways never truly died.They just learned how to wait.Long before Santa Claus became the jolly gift-giver we know today, the winter solstice was a time of fear as much as celebration in the Alpine regions of Europe. While Saint Nicholas rewarded good children, his dark companion dealt with the rest.Krampus. Half-goat. Half-demon. All nightmare. A creature with curved horns, a serpentine tongue, chains forged in hellfire, and birch switches for the wicked. A basket on its back to carry its prizes away—down to whatever hell it called home.Krampusnacht, celebrated on December fifth, saw young men dress as the creature and roam the streets, terrorizing towns. But the oldest stories—the ones whispered long before costumes—spoke of something far older than men in masks. A being that existed before Christianity tried to tame it. A being that still walks the winter forests when nights grow long and the barriers between worlds wear thin.A being that always comes back.Content Warning:This episode contains intense horror imagery, supernatural violence, and themes involving harm to a family, including a child. Listener discretion is strongly advised. This one is not for the faint of heart—and absolutely not for little ones. I've spent a long time telling stories about strange things in the woods. Bigfoot encounters. Unexplained phenomena. Creatures that linger just beyond the firelight. Even the scariest of those stories often carry a strange warmth—a sense that whatever's out there might be mysterious, might be frightening, but isn't necessarily evil. This story is different. This story is about something very evil.Something that has been doing terrible things to humanity for a very long time.Something that doesn't care about your Christmas spirit, your good intentions, or your prayers.I wanted to tell this story because I think we've sanitized our holidays. We've forgotten that our ancestors celebrated the winter solstice not just with feasts and gifts—but with rituals meant to protect them from the darkness. They understood something we've chosen to forget.The longest night of the year is the longest for a reason.So as you listen, maybe keep a candle burning.Maybe check the locks on your doors.And if you hear something on the roof that sounds a little too heavy to be reindeer…Well. You know what to do.Until next time…Sweet dreams.And Merry Christmas.

Olympic skier AJ Hurt is the ultimate "bring your kid to work" success story. Her dad is on the ski patrol at Palisades Tahoe resort and AJ grew up hanging out with her dad on the mountain. AJ competed for Palisades Tahoe before making it onto the U.S. Ski Team as a teenager. "I was 16 when I raced my first World Cup. No one knows what they're doing at 16!" says AJ. But AJ figured it out quickly. She's an eight year member of the U.S. Ski Team, a three-time U.S. Alpine champ, and competed in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She's as dedicated to her studies as she is her efforts on the snow. AJ studied engineering at Dartmouth. And, she's an accomplished musician as well. Fellow U.S. ski team members rely on her piano skills for impromptu singalongs on the road during the ski season. We caught up with AJ during off-season training in Tahoe to talk about how to maintain life perspective while competing at such a high level. On this Dying to Ask, The Road to Milan- Cortina: What AJ does in the summer to get ready for an Olympic year The role music plays in relaxing her brain And we'll enjoy an impromptu concert in an history Olympic Valley, CA chapel from AJ

Ned Lampert is an unpretentious dude with a bag of big ideas. As the founder of Zero Ambition, a creative and strategy studio that works with Nike, Vans, Whole Foods, and a roster of other AAA brands, his job is to come up with culture-shifting campaigns that make customers laugh, cry, and do a little shimmy. Ned is also an avid fly fisherman, mountain bike rider, and backcountry skier. In this episode, we talked about how Ned got into advertising through the unlikely path of DJing parties, why that led him to New York, and where he finds inspiration today. (Spoiler: at the top of the Alpine mountains.) Oh, Ned is also behind Slick's For All, one of the fastest-growing intimacy brands redefining the category. He does so much, the bastard.

Asian equities opened higher, tracking Friday's gains in US stocks that helped intensify bets for a strong finish to the year. Hopes for a year-end rally have grown as dip buyers late last week helped equities recover from a slide driven by doubts over AI exuberance and the scope for Federal Reserve easing. We heard from to Vasu Menon, Managing Director for Investment Strategy at OCBC. He spoke to Bloomberg's Annabelle Droulers. Plus - Moore Threads Technology Co. introduced a new generation of chips aimed at reducing artificial-intelligence developers' dependence on Nvidia Corp.'s hardware, just weeks after pulling off one of the most successful Chinese IPOs in years. For a macro outlook on Chinese equities, we heard from Yan Wang, Macro Chief EM and China Strategist at Alpine. He spoke to Bloomberg's David Ingles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Episode des Podcasts widmen wir uns dem Thema Gaming-Drinks und dem nostalgischen Spiel "Ski or Die". Ich bespreche zusammen mit Holger das Getränk Level-Loop mit dem besonderen geschmacklichen Kick von Kaktus-Eis, das wir während der Aufnahme genießen. Wir analysieren, was an diesem Drink fehlt, und entdecken Gemeinsamkeiten zu berühmten Eisdesserts aus unserer Kindheit. Im Verlauf der Episode tauchen wir in die Welt des Spieleklassikers "Ski or Die" ein, insbesondere in die Disziplin "Alpines Ski". Wir beschreiben die Mechanik des Spiels, in dem die Spieler von unten nach oben auf dem Bildschirm Ski fahren, während sie Hindernissen wie Müllhaufen, Bäumen und anderen Skifahrern ausweichen müssen. Die Herausforderungen des Spiels werden besprochen, einschließlich der frustrierenden Hitboxen und der Notwendigkeit, bestimmte Punkte zu sammeln, während man versucht, die Zeit einzuhalten. Holger teilt seine persönlichen Erinnerungen an das Spiel und zieht Vergleiche zu seinen früheren Skifahrungserlebnissen, während ich meine eigenen frustrierenden Versuche beschreibe, das Spiel perfekt zu meistern. Wir reflektieren, welche Spiele unser Skifahrerlebnis am besten verkörpert haben und welche Wünsche wir für zukünftige Wintersportspiele haben. Im weiteren Verlauf der Episode wechselte das Gespräch auf persönlichere Themen, wobei ich von einer Hochzeit berichte, auf der ich als Zeuge aufgetreten bin. Hierbei betone ich die Herausforderung, eine Rede ohne Unterstützung durch KI zu schreiben. Holger erzählt von seinen aktuellen gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen und dem Umgang mit Covid in der Familie. Wir diskutieren außerdem über unsere Erfahrungen mit Fitnessstudios und die Motivation, aktiv zu bleiben, sowie über spezielle Angebote, die für Arbeitnehmer verfügbar sind. Holger bringt auch das Thema digitale Dienste und Datenschutz ins Spiel, insbesondere in Bezug auf iCloud und die Notwendigkeit, alternative Synchronisationslösungen zu erforschen. Schließlich teilen wir unsere Gedanken zu aktuellen Filmen und der Entstehung kultureller Werke, wobei ich eine kritische Bewertung des Films "Amadeus" abgebe und das Potenzial realistischerer Erzählungen betone. Wir beenden die Episode mit einem Ausblick auf kommende Spiele und Themen, die uns interessieren werden, und einer Einladung an unsere Zuhörer, sich an der Diskussion zu beteiligen.
At this time of the year it's nice to reflect on some of the good things that happened throughout the year, and just days ago the nominees for the 63rd Halberg Awards were announced. There have been some huge moments in sport this year - from world championships to domestic and international recognition, and the annual Halberg Awards nominations provide a snapshot of the breadth of Kiwi achievement. What's really cool to see is how track and field athletics, snow sports and a wonderfully mixed collection of other sports dominate the list of contenders for top honours. It's been a year where individuals have excelled and teams have done pretty well, but suffered from inconsistency. I'd like to thank Geordie Beamish, nominated for Sportsman of the Year, for providing us all with the best feel good moments of the year. At the World Athletic Championships in Tokyo he survived a fall in the 3000m steeplechase semi-final, during which a rival stood on his face, and still managed to come in second. I thought that was going to be my most viewed sports video of 2025 – but it was surpassed days later by watching Beamish in the final become the first New Zealander to ever win track gold at a world athletics championships. It still makes me smile just thinking about the end of that race. His ‘late kick' is a life lesson on finishing well. Along with the extraordinary talented Hamish Kerr, who had another stellar year, and the success of emerging superstar Sam Ruthe, we've seen a genuine resurgence in New Zealand athletics. Alpine and snowboarders are well represented among the finalists, thanks to elite performances on international circuits. Alpine ski racer Alice Robinson is on fire at present, and I'm told by those in the know that freeskiers Luca Harrington, nominated in the Sportsman of the Year category, and Finley Melville Ives, nominated in the Emerging category, are very much medal contenders heading into the Winter Olympics next year. But amongst all the highlights there's also some soul searching – or maybe CEO searching - that needs to be done in 2026. The resignations of three high-profile CEOs in major sports — New Zealand Rugby's Mark Robinson, Netball New Zealand's Jennie Wyllie, and New Zealand Cricket's Scott Weenink, mark a significant shake-up in national sporting leadership in 2025. Robinson's departure from NZ Rugby follows years of navigating commercial and structural change within the sport. In one of the biggest and messiest stories of the year, Wyllie's exit from Netball NZ has prompted calls for greater transparency, and reflection of both governance and performance, particularly in light of contentious decisions about coaching roles. And in Cricket, Weenink stepped down after public disputes over the sport's direction, especially regarding the future of domestic T20 formats - suggesting there are deep strategic disagreements about how the game should evolve in New Zealand. Clearly there's some uncertainty ahead for three of our biggest sporting codes, but these changes also bring opportunities, a chance for fresh vision and leadership and, hopefully, better entertainment and performances for fans. In the meantime, congratulations to all the Halberg nominees. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode of Eat. Talk. Repeat.
En este episodio de atareao con Linux te quiero contar una de mis grandes obsesiones: cómo mantener mis imágenes Docker lo más ligeras y seguras posible sin que eso me penalice cuando tengo que "ensuciarme las manos" dentro de un contenedor.Si me sigues desde hace tiempo, ya sabes que siempre busco reducir la superficie de ataque de mis despliegues. Cuanto menos software innecesario tenga una imagen, menos vulnerabilidades. Pero claro, esto tiene un problema evidente: cuando entras en un contenedor basado en una imagen minimalista, te encuentras con que no tienes ni un editor de texto, ni un buscador de archivos, ni nada que te facilite la vida.Para solucionar esto, he actualizado una imagen Docker que es mi auténtica "navaja suiza". En lugar de engordar mis imágenes de producción, utilizo este contenedor especializado que conecto a mis volúmenes cuando necesito gestionar datos, organizar archivos o realizar tareas de mantenimiento.He reconstruido esta herramienta sobre Alpine 3.23 por su ligereza extrema. Pero lo potente es lo que lleva dentro, un ecosistema centrado en herramientas escritas en Rust que son increíblemente rápidas:Shell y Prompt: He sustituido la clásica ash por Fish, para tener una shell interactiva y amigable, junto a Starship para un indicador visual ultra rápido.Productividad: Uso herramientas que reinventan los clásicos: lsd para ver archivos con iconos, bat para leer con resaltado de sintaxis, y fd junto a ripgrep para buscar cualquier cosa en milisegundos.Gestión y Edición: Para moverme por el sistema uso yazi, que es un gestor de archivos para terminal rapidísimo, y por supuesto Neovim para cualquier edición profesional.Mi arma secreta (rnr): He incluido rnr para renombrar archivos de forma masiva usando expresiones regulares, algo vital para organizar mis bibliotecas de series y películas.En este episodio te explico por qué me resulta mucho más cómodo utilizar volúmenes Docker en lugar de mapear directorios del host. Te cuento cómo esta práctica me facilitó la vida al migrar a Dockge y cómo gestiono mis datos multimedia de forma eficiente.Para que tú también puedas usarlo, te comparto el script que utilizo para levantar este contenedor de forma efímera e interactiva:Con este comando, el contenedor se destruye al salir, manteniendo mi sistema limpio y mis procesos gestionados correctamente gracias al flag --init.Más información y enlaces en las notas del episodio
Looks like Red Bull haven't heard the last of Christian Horner! The Alpine talks intensify.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsNow that the 2025 F1 season is done and dusted, the rumours surrounding former RBR boss Christian Horner joining up with Flavio Briatore have resurfaced, all in the wake of a major Alpine shareholder looking to sell up in the not too distant future; putting Alpine's worth at $2.4 billion! With his settlement cash plus other powerful connections and investors, Horner's arrival as a potential stakeholder and advisor could become effectively Red Bull 2.0...and a major thorn in Laurent Mekies' side.Or could the former team principal be ready in case Renault, once again, pulls out of Formula 1 and step in to their shoes?

Today on the Invest In Her podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Hillary Talbot and Jennifer Kuan, Ph.D., Managing Partners of être Venture Capital. Hillary is a sailor, surfer, and former competitive Alpine skier who brings over 20 years of startup ecosystem experience to VC, helping founders shape strategy, drive profitability, and build toward successful exits. She co-founded être to dismantle barriers for women and minority founders and support entrepreneurs solving real-world challenges through manufacturing and critical technologies. Jennifer, a Ph.D. in Business from UC Berkeley and MS from Stanford, is a tenured economics and entrepreneurship professor whose academic research explores how nonprofit structures support innovative industries like venture capital, open-source software, and semiconductors. She co-founded être to put collaborative, research-driven VC principles into practice, and developed the free online course Venture Capital 101 for Women to make the industry more accessible. In this episode, Catherine, Hillary, and Jennifer dive into the journey of becoming a lead investor—what it means, why it matters, and how women can confidently step into this influential role. They discuss how être VC structures investments to empower women as leaders in capital deployment, the importance of understanding term sheets and due diligence, and why taking that first leap as a lead investor can create ripple effects for future founders and funds. The conversation also touches on the collaborative nature of successful venture ecosystems, the mindset required to lead a round, and how women can use their lived experience and decision-making strengths to transform the investment landscape. Catherine and her guests break down both the strategic and psychological components of leadership in venture capital, offering listeners a clear roadmap for getting started and building confidence in the process.

This is my third go at this and have I made improvements in that time? Well, look for yourself!McLaren and Lando Norris made me look clever...whilst Alpine made me look delusional and a few midfield surprises (Hulkenberg, Hadjar, Racing Bulls) blew my preseason logic apart. I keep score with my own points system and finish with my final total for the season plus what I learned for 2026.

Vitaliy is one of the most prolific and respected alpinists of his generation and has a reputation as a master of long, complex alpine objectives—including becoming the first person to complete The Goliath Traverse in the Eastern Sierra…which might be the longest ridge traverse in the western hemisphere…if not the world.. He's established more first ascents in the Eastern Sierra than any other person, authored a three-volume guidebook series to the Eastern Sierra, and spent years developing new routes around the world. He's summited all the peaks in the Fitz Skyline and only has one summit left to complete the Torre Skyline: the infamous Cerro Torre. Even with such an astounding list of achievements, Vitaliy's deep sense of empathy, humility, and curiosity keep him grounded, thoughtful, and heartfelt.Sean McLane is an American climber and alpinist with a knack for hard ice climbing. He blends curiosity, adventure, and a commitment to exploring terrain that few others pursue. One of his life goals is to complete Guy Lacelle's Favorite 135 Ice Climbs—a notorious list of iconic, hard, and bold routes. Sean has currently completed 71 of the 135 and soloed 61 of them. That's an insane amount of soloing on hard ice routes. Along with several other first ascents, Sean recently put up The Penitent Path, a 12-pitch M9 considered one of the longest routes at the grade in the U.S. Beyond his technical prowess, Sean is a deeply thoughtful and introspective human—and this is his first time ever sharing his story.We start with Sean's background and how he was introduced to climbing while living abroad in China. We then explore a deeply personal and traumatic story from Sean's past involving a tragic ice climbing accident that took the life of Meg O'Neill and left Sean with a broken back. We use this story to expand on grief and loss, and learn how Sean processed these deep emotions and reintroduced climbing into his life. We then pivot to Vitaliy's background—a wildly unique story checkered with unbelievable suffering, uncertainty, and struggle, but also resilience, empathy, grit, and growth. Next, we dive into Vitaliy and Sean's recent climbing trip to India—an adventure that tested their commitment, focus, determination, and humility. We then contrast their India trip with a wildly successful and spontaneous trip to Patagonia. Finally, we close by diving into deeper topics around work-life balance, the sacrifices we make for success, unmitigatable risk justification, the concepts of faith, luck and self-reliance, and mastery versus complacency.Watch The Climbing Majority on YoutubeGiveaway Details HERE---Thanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout their Ecotrek Trail Pants HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHot Chillys Performance Base LayersCheckout their Micro Elite Chamois Base Layer Systems HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for 15% OFF Your OrderGet Access to Exclusive Episodes, Unlock Ad-Free Podcast, & MORE!ResourcesThe Shooting Star ScholarshipGuy Lacelle's 135 Ice ClimbsVitaliy's IGSeans's IG

Experience Big Bear Lake when the snow melts and the mountains open up for summer recreation. Johnny Mac rides the Alpine Slide (and survives the lines), finds the perfect yellow hoodie at the local running store, indulges in ice cream at North Pole Ice Cream & Fudge, and discovers that a simple chicken sandwich at Social Kitchen & Lounge becomes transcendent when accompanied by a two-person band (plus dog) playing Tom Petty covers. Explore how this accessible mountain town delivers genuine alpine escape without Aspen pretension, and why fall's golden aspens make this the best season to visit.
“…and today we're talking about a high fly star that's not Taylor or D'andre… But more on that later. High above the Alps, where even eagles take snack breaks, there's a bird that laughs in the face of gravity, sleep schedules, and layovers. It's a feathered jet stream, a sky-soaring insomniac that treats “touching grass” […]
Welcome back, Void! We're between holidays and you know what that means: cars that go vroom vroom in a circle and drama!!! Oo boy do we have the tea for you! (Disclaimer: Erin and Brennan are not professionals and have no idea what they're actually talking about.) We discuss Don Luis, new head of the Ferrari car family, the schadenfreude of the Red Bull leadership meltdown, and the coronation of dumbest-boy-in-all-the-land Lando Norris to World Champion! (Hey, at least it's not Max again!) From the hopes and dreams of the preseason to the crash back to reality by the summer break, we highlight the curse of the second Red Bull seat, how cute all the rookies are, and bash on Alpine and Aston Martin for making us laugh every time.

“ Beaumier is a story that began truly 10 years ago if we go back to the beginning of the portfolio. But this story of implementing soulful luxury properties and beautiful environments, really rooted in the local culture—it's less than five years old. We're a very young brand, I would say.”We're in great company with Anna Fedou, Brand & Marketing Director of Beaumier Hotels, a curated collection of ten soulful luxury properties woven across Europe's most enchanting landscapes—from Provence and the Riviera to the Alpine peaks and Ibiza. Beaumier is built on a philosophy of "the art of living differently"—a belief that true hospitality begins not with grand gestures, but with listening—to the landscape, to the people who call it home, to the history woven into its walls. Rather than imposing a predetermined style, each property emerges as an act of discovery, honoring its surroundings while breathing new life into them with the spirit of a curious explorer and the care of a devoted steward.In this winter episode, Anna shares how her own multicultural upbringing—shaped by movement between cultures and meaningful family moments—informs Beaumier's approach to creating spaces where guests feel genuinely at home, offering us timely lessons in slowing down, belonging, and the kind of intentional living we all crave as the holidays approach.Top Takeaways[1:50] How Anna's childhood spent traveling between France, Portugal, Spain, and London—punctuated by magical family holidays discovering the world together—became the compass that would eventually guide her career in creating meaningful, connected experiences for others.[6:40] What began as a small collection of Alpine ski hotels transformed into a spirit of adventure named Beaumier—seeking out hidden architectural treasures and breathing new life into them with intention and reverence.[19:40] At Beaumier, guests reconnect with nature and themselves through thoughtfully curated spaces where design, storytelling, and “happy accidents” become conversation starters that spark joy regardless of cultural background. [24:15] Winter Properties: L'Alpaga in Megève, Les 3 Vallées in Courchevel, Le Val Thorens and Le Fitz Roy in Val Thorens—all provide distinctive perspectives and experiences of the French Alps—while the Grand Hotel Belvedere in Wengen is a historic hideaway in the Swiss Alps.[26:00] Summer Properties: Capelongue, Le Moulin and Le Galinier show different sides of Provence—while Les Roches Rouges sits peacefully overlooking the Côte d'Azur, and Petunia dispels the myth of Ibiza.[30:55] What ties together ten distinct properties across Europe isn't a playbook—it's a commitment to locally sourced cuisine, genuine human connection, and a deeply personal approach to wellbeing that honors what each guest truly needs to feel whole.[35:50] A first glimpse into Wengen's revival through Grand Hotel Belvedere—a revitalized property breathing new life into a sleeping beauty destination that's been beautifully unchanged for decades, inspiring the entire community to awaken alongside it.Visit For YourselfBeaumier Website | @beaumierhotels Bon Voyage by Beaumier

On this festive but delightfully off-kilter edition of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro return from an impromptu cruise with a pocketful of overheard conversations, a temporarily abandoned “walking rock,” and the kind of people-watching moments that make you wonder if Thin Mints are actually the glue holding society together. Then Jethro descends—figuratively—into the chilling depths of Sweden's historic Falun copper mine to uncover the true story of Fat Mats, the perfectly preserved miner whose body was found in 1719 after vanishing four decades earlier. Why did he look freshly deceased after 40 years? Why were his legs missing? And how did a simple silver coin become a family heirloom that still survives today? Kat follows with a world-tour of wonderfully unsettling holiday traditions: a rhyming duel with a Welsh dead horse named Mari Lwyd, a frog-eating, piggyback-demanding winter demon lurking in the Balkans, and Frau Perchta—an Alpine holiday enforcer who rewards the tidy and industrious while punishing the lazy with… well, creatively aggressive disembowelment. It's a globe-spanning celebration of strange seasonal folklore, preserved miners, questionable cruise-ship conversations, and precisely the kind of merry madness you've come to expect from The Box of Oddities.

The latest episode is the SaDBoys' salute to Fall/Winter attire— the BEST season for dressing. They get into their favorite cold-weather pieces, how their approach differs from Spring/Summer (and "Early Fall"), and the aesthetics or rigs that hit the Spirit of the Season (vintage Alpine looks, ivy, hunting, cowboy in the cold). Ethan also goes deeper and shares how Fall/Winter dressing is meant to be exciting, full of color play and intricate pattern mixing, all in service of just how fun this season can be.

Terrifying & True returns with dark Christmas horror rooted in real Alpine folklore and chilling winter horror stories. Long before cozy Hallmark snowfalls, families in the high Alps spent the Twelve Nights of Christmas fearing a “Christmas Witch” who might reward your hard work… or split you open and stuff you with straw if you broke her rules. This is the terrifying legend of Frau Perchta and her horned horde, the Perchten – where festive lights, fasting days, and spinning wheels turn into a deadly checklist for survival. In this holiday special, we dive into the eerie, mature side of winter tradition, where spooky stories, urban legends, and brutal morality tales kept entire villages in line through the darkest nights of the year. If you crave Christmas horror that feels older and sharper than anything under the tree, this is your episode.Inside this episode:The rules of the Christmas Witch: Why Alpine families raced to finish their spinning, scrub their homes, and eat a strict Twelfth Night meal before Epiphany, terrified that one broken tradition could invite Perchta's knife.Belly-Slitter punishments straight out of horror stories: From trampled weaving to the infamous eviscerations stuffed with straw and stones, we unpack how this gruesome myth drove real-world discipline in a brutal winter landscape.From Bright Goddess to winter monster: How a once-benevolent “Bright One” and Lady of Epiphany was demonized by the Church into a sinister Christmas hag, complete with goose-foot, ragged robes, and a curse-laden black cloth.Wild Hunts and haunted Alpine nights: The chilling tales of Perchta's ghostly procession screaming across the winter sky, dragging lost souls and unbaptized children in her wake, and why villagers locked doors and clutched charms when the wind howled.The Perchten, Krampus, and other holiday terrors: Meet the beautiful and ugly Perchten, see how they inspired modern Krampus runs, and compare them to figures like Belsnickel and Père Fouettard in a full-blown Christmas rogues' gallery.Living traditions in the spooky season: How today's Perchtenläufe—massive parades of horned masks, cowbells, and towering headdresses—keep this eerie anthology of winter legends alive in the mountains, blending folk horror with festival fun.This episode is perfect for listeners who love folklore, chilling stories, and mature themes that turn cozy Christmas nostalgia into something far more eerie, scary, and unforgettable. When the holidays get too sweet, remember: in some places, kids didn't just fear coal in their stocking—they feared Frau Perchta at the door.We're telling that story tonight.

In this episode, we're learning from Daniel Lauber, founder of CERVO Mountain Resort, in a conversation with our innovation correspondent Matthias Huettebraeuker about reimagining what hospitality can be today. Daniel shares how CERVO evolved from a modern hunting lodge concept into a holistic “way of living” rooted in community, culture, and connection. He explains why mindfulness and enjoying life can naturally coexist, what authenticity really means beyond alpine clichés, and how design, rituals, and programming can create meaningful spaces for guests, staff, and locals. For hospitality leaders, this episode offers a deeply thoughtful look at innovation, guest expectations, and the human side of building a resort that feels alive.

From there, we unravel how Krampus went from pagan winter monster to “Santa's bad cop,” why there are actually many Krampi (including lady Krampus variants), and how he got tangled up in Catholicism, bans, propaganda pamphlets, and violent Krampus runs that still send people to the ER.Madison breaks down:Krampus's origins in Alpine and pagan winter loreHis toolkit: birch switches, chains, baskets for kidnapping, and moreHow Krampusnacht works (boots, candy, birch-stick warnings, and a lot of schnapps)The postcards that turned him into a Christmas iconRare Krampus facts: the switch ledger, faceless Krampus, the glutton-eating adult version, and a boot-and-tallow summoning ritualWe also tease other winter monsters like Grýla, the Yule Lads, La Befana, and more unhinged holiday creatures that might get their own episodes if you ask for them loudly enough.MEET KRAMPUS IN SAVANNAHKrampus will be at the Savannah Paranormal Museum on December 6th, noon–4 p.m.Museum ticket + selfie: $5Museum ticket + pro photo: $10 totalJust want Krampus pics, no museum: $25 for selfie + pro photo bundleCome see us, grab a photo, and make some questionable holiday memories.NEW SHOW: THE OTHER SIDE SHOWIf you love “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and horror, our horror/paranormal improv show The Other Side Show premieres December 9th, and we'll be live-streaming the first two episodes exclusively for Parajunkies.TELL US BELOWWhich winter monster should we cover next—Grýla, the Yule Cat, La Befana, or another Christmas cryptid?

In this episode of the Let's Talk Dubs podcast, we dive into a big development in the VW drag racing world — the ROC Cory Mack Race cancellation and what it means for racers, fans, and the upcoming season. We also celebrate a major milestone as Zorba the Ghia finally appears in VW Trends Magazine after a year of waiting. Bill shares his unfiltered thoughts on seeing a go-kart featured on the cover of a major Volkswagen magazine and what that means for the direction of the hobby. From there we shift gears to the SEMA Show, breaking down the MST booth, the best Volkswagens at SEMA, standout builds, and trends shaping the air-cooled VW community for 2025. Plus, we get into updates on Bill's projects including new upgrades for #WhiteFlash, installing an Alpine audio system, tackling a new wiring harness, chasing down oil leaks, and dealing with powder-coating issues that every builder can relate to. If you're passionate about classic air-cooled Volkswagens, VW magazines, SEMA show coverage, Las Vegas VW culture, and real-world project car updates, this episode packs in a ton of great conversation. www.vwtrendsmagazine.com www.rosswulf.com use code LTD10 for 10% off ICON pistons here VWs of SEMA 1 John Ludwicks SP1000 Randy W/ Phat fabs car at SEMA
