Regular attendance is closely monitored, making it important for families to understand the rules and stay up to date with state requirements.

New global research associated with Harvard University suggests that people who regularly attend church tend to do better in life than people who do not. The Global Flourishing Study is following more than 200,000 people across 22 countries and tracking not only happiness, but meaning and purpose, relationships, character, mental and physical health, life satisfaction and material stability.But if churches are helping people flourish, what is happening to the pastors who lead them? Senior pastors carry grief, crises, expectations and organisational responsibility that most people never see. A church may appear to be growing and successful while its pastor is quietly being depleted.And how do we know whether a church itself is healthy? Valerie Ling joins us from the Center for Effective Serving to explore richer ways of recognising flourishing in pastors, churches and the communities they serve.Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

She left the church at twenty-five. She never stopped praying, and she still doesn't know who's listening. Lauren Jackson writes Believing, the New York Times newsletter about how people practice faith and doubt now, and she came to the beat by way of her own departure from the Mormon church she was raised in. Corey talks with her about what secularism can't replace, what AI is quietly taking from us, and the question she brings to every hard conversation. Calls to Action ✅ Subscribe to Lauren's newsletter, Believing, at The New York Times ✅ Follow her on Instagram: @laurenchristinejackson ✅ Enjoyed this one? Leave a quick review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion Key Takeaways Ask what if they're right. Before a hard conversation, Lauren puts that question to herself, then listens. Your position may not move, but you get closer to the humanity of the person across from you, and that turns out to matter more. Secularism won, and it still can't do everything. Religion delivers beliefs, belonging, and behaviors in one place, and nothing secular offers all three at once. The absence shows up as a hunger for community that people describe to her constantly. Belief is spiking. Attendance isn't. Gallup finds a sharp jump in young men under thirty who call religion very important, without the matching rise in showing up anywhere. Religion is increasingly a piece of a packaged identity rather than a practice. Resist the doctrine of efficiency. Father James Martin's phrase, and Lauren's working rule. We lose to machines on volume, so the only place left to win is quality, which requires the slowness that AI is designed to eliminate. She will always seek to humanize. Not condone, and not valorize. Understand what real, human motivations produce behavior we find contestable, which is harder to sit with than a verdict. We are the times. A friend gave her Augustine's line from the sacking of Rome, and it landed as an assignment. Despairing about the age is a way of pretending we are not participants in it. About Our Guest Lauren Jackson is deputy editorial director for newsletters at The New York Times and the host of Believing, a weekly newsletter about how people live religion and spirituality now.

Is prom attendance an absolute rite of passage, or is it a privilege to be earned? On todays Points of View, we are looking into one of the most hotly contested debates in school communities.

Steve reveals whether rising box office grosses are matched by actual attendance, if ticket price increases and premium large format screens are actually juicing box office totals, the demos and genres that are overindexing, and some surprising political affiliations of moviegoers (00:00).

Is the WNBA failing Caitlin Clark? Chad Leistikow and Scott Dochterman discuss the latest controversy surrounding Clark, the league's leadership, physical play, and whether fans are beginning to tune out. Plus, an extensive breakdown of Iowa women's basketball after summer practice, including Ava Heiden's future, the incoming transfers, and why Jan Jensen's roster could be built for sustained success.

You ever notice that some people spend so much time trying to destroy the person paying the bills that you'd swear bankruptcy was a business model?That's the WNBA right now.The WNBA is so much like the Democrats. They will do anything to kill their golden goose. Their treatment of Caitlin Clark is how they treat MAGA.We are the reason those clowns exist. They steal our money and use it to stay in power. And they marginalize most of the groups they claim to protect.Have you seen how the Black mostly Lesbians treat Clark.Without her, few people if any are talking about the WNBA. But instead of embracing her, they seem to want to destroy her.They finally find a player who gets people to voluntarily watch. Think about that. For years, the toughest ticket in the league was finding someone who admitted they'd watched the game on purpose. Then along comes Caitlin Clark. Ratings go up. Attendance goes up. Jersey sales go up. Suddenly people know what "WNBA" stands for without Googling it.So naturally... they treat her like she keyed everyone's car in the parking lot.That's a fascinating strategy.It's like hiring a chef because he's the best cook in town, then spending every shift smacking the spatula out of his hand. Or buying a racehorse just so you can make it pull a lawn mower.Success shows up at the front door with a gift basket, and instead of saying "Welcome," they ask security to escort it off the property.I've seen companies kill products. I've seen politicians kill careers. But watching people try to kneecap the very thing making them relevant? That's an entirely different level of self-sabotage. That's not shooting yourself in the foot. That's hiring a marching band to provide the soundtrack while you do it.For years the league needed that one transcendent star. Somebody who could move ratings, sell jerseys, fill arenas, and get people arguing at Thanksgiving dinner about pick-and-roll defense. Success arrives carrying flowers, and somebody immediately starts looking for the return receipt.It feels like the office finally hires the employee who doubles profits, and management responds by assigning her a desk in the parking lot.If she leaves the WNBA today, she might play in the men's league. For sure, her future is SET.Not that long ago, the WNBA featured some obscure women that nobody knows, refusing to promote their best-known player.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The nickname “nonce” became associated with Prince Andrew following the exposure of his deep ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre that he had sexual contact with her when she was underage. In British slang, “nonce” is a highly derogatory term for someone accused of child sexual abuse, and the label stuck after Andrew's disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, where his denials — including the infamous “I don't sweat” line — made him a public laughingstock. The term spread rapidly through social media, satire, and even pop culture, culminating in the release of the punk song Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce, which mocked both his scandal and his implausible defenses. The nickname became shorthand for his fall from grace and a reflection of the public's disgust toward his alleged conduct and lack of accountability.When Prince Philip died in April 2021, Andrew maneuvered his way into the funeral despite being stripped of royal duties and public standing. Attendance was strictly limited to thirty people due to COVID restrictions, but Andrew, as Philip's son, was included as a matter of protocol — a decision that sparked backlash among both the public and palace insiders. Reports suggested Andrew was eager to use the event as a soft return to royal life, positioning himself visibly in the procession and trying to rehabilitate his image through sympathy optics. While the palace maintained his inclusion was a family matter, critics viewed it as a calculated move by Andrew to reinsert himself into royal proceedings after the Epstein scandal had effectively exiled him from public life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

They also talked about the Cubs' trade to acquire left-hander David Peterson from the Mets, the White Sox dropping the final game of their series against the Guardians and World Cup fans taking over MLB games. Later, they conducted the Pick 6 segment, where they debated the top sports stories of the day.

Here's the plan the best gym owners are following right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMPx7b3_LOA The gyms winning with AI right now are not using it to write emails. They built a machine learning algorithm that predicts who's about to cancel. They fired their ad agency and their bookkeeper. They have an AI employee living in Slack that nobody on the team can tell isn't human. Pav spent 20 years in Fortune 500 companies before opening BFT Tysons. His financial planning background and tech instincts put him in a different category than most gym owners touching AI right now. In this episode, Mike Arce sits down with one of the most advanced operators in the GSD community to break down exactly what they've built, how they built it, and what's coming next. In this episode you'll learn: — How Pav built a machine learning algorithm that ranks the 25 members most likely to cancel before they decide — The five member behavioral avatars the model uses and which signals carry the most weight — How BFT Tysons uses Claude to run Meta ads, optimize campaigns from the grocery store line, and launch new ads in five minutes instead of 45 — The AI marketing analyst that pulls weekly ad data, surfaces red flags, and sends recommendations directly to Slack — How Victor works as an AI employee inside Slack and the story of it onboarding a new team member better than the humans did — Why the era of information is over and what the era of imagination means for gym owners right now — Studio OS: the custom internal dashboard Pav's team built to track memberships, financials, and cancellations in one place — How AI analyzed BFT's three membership tiers and identified which members were most likely to upgrade — The connection between selling your highest tier first and actually getting members the results they came for — What Pav is focused on in Q3 and how AI identified three specific reasons revenue per member was declining — The security risks gym owners should actually worry about when building with AI — Why the AI revolution mirrors the printing press and what that means for the jobs being created right now If you think you're using AI because you asked it to rewrite an email, this episode will show you how far behind that really is.

Welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. WAOC is on the road again this week, hitting up Nevada and Arizonia. It's always nice to get out and walk a few operations and meet new team members. I'm Marty and today I'd like to talk about something every employee wants but not everyone necessarily understands. And that would be a raise. Whether you’re unloading trailers, operating a forklift, selecting orders, dispatching trucks, running production equipment, or managing a team, most of us have asked ourselves the same question at some point, how do I make more money? And maybe an even tougher question, how do I ask for a raise? Now before we get started, let’s true a few things up. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting more money. Life gets expensive. Rent, gas, insurance, and groceries go up. The challenge is that employers don’t typically give raises because our bills increased. They give raises because our value has increased. And that’s what I'd like to talk about today. A lot of us think a raise starts when we walk into our supervisor’s office to discuss our performance review and or our raise. Well It doesn’t. The truth is that a thought of our raise starts months before that meeting. A raise starts with our habits. Every day we're building a reputation. People notice things. Maybe not immediately or every day. But over time, they notice. Who shows up on time and stays productive? Who complains and who volunteers? Who learns new tasks? Who can be trusted and depended on? Who needs constant supervision and who solves problems instead of creating them? Our raise often starts with answers to those questions. I've got to say it again. I know I keep bringing it up. But being THAT employee just pays off. Every workplace has one. You know exactly who I’m talking about. That employee. The one everyone wants on their shift. The one the supervisor calls first and the one coworkers trust. The man or woman who can handle difficult assignments and gets opportunities. The one who gets promoted. The one who gets raises. What makes them different? Usually, it’s not because they’re the smartest person. Usually, it’s not because they’ve been there the longest. It’s because they’re dependable. They’re accountable and consistent. When they say they’ll do something, it gets done. When they make a mistake, they own it. When something needs attention, they step up. Those traits are incredibly valuable in our worlds. Reliability is really a superpower. Let’s talk about attendance. I know. Not the most exciting topic. But well worth mentioning again. Imagine you’re a supervisor with twenty employees. Five call in regularly. Three are late every week. Two disappear during breaks. Several perform differently every day. Then there’s one person. They’re always there. Always prepared and ready to work. Who do you think gets the first opportunity? Who is going to get cross-trained and promoted? Which one gets the bigger raise? I think reliability is one of the most underrated skills in the workplace. You don’t need special training or need a certification or a degree. You simply show up and do what you said you would do. Consistently. And believe me, consistency gets noticed. Here’s one of the fastest ways to increase your value. Again, I know I harp on it at least once a month but learn another task. Then another and another. Cross-training is like adding tools to your toolbox. Maybe you’re a forklift operator. Learn receiving and learn shipping. Learn a little about inventory control, quality inspection, and cycle counting. Learn the WMS. Learn the paperwork and the computer side. Even how transportation functions. Why? Because the more problems you can solve, the more valuable you become. And companies pay for value. The employee who can perform three jobs often becomes more valuable than the employee who only performs one. Another thing I bring up probably too often is attitude. And before somebody says, here we go with the motivational stuff. Hear me out. A positive attitude isn’t pretending everything is perfect. A positive attitude means being part of the solution. Every workplace has challenges. Every warehouse and transportation department has bad days. Every production line has setbacks. Our leaders notice who responds constructively. They notice who keeps moving forward and who encourages others. Of course attitude doesn’t replace skill. But attitude often determines who gets the opportunity to develop those skills. And heres a biggie, one word that can separate average employees from future leaders. Accountability. Accountability means owning your results. When things go well, great. When things don’t go well, own that too. No excuses or finger-pointing or blaming everyone else. The employee who says that was my mistake. Here’s what happened. Here’s how I’ll prevent it next time. Is far more valuable than the employee who spends ten minutes explaining why nothing was their fault. Our managers trust accountable people. Trust creates opportunity. Opportunity creates advancement and advancement creates raises. Ok, now it's time to ask for a raise. Let’s say you’ve been doing everything we’ve discussed. You’ve improved, cross-trained and learned other tasks, you’ve become reliable, you’ve added value. Now it’s time to discuss our compensation. I think here’s where many of us make a mistake. We walk into the office and say I need more money. Unfortunately, that’s not a strong business case. Instead, let's think like a professional or even an owner. Let's approach it like a leader. Build your case. Show your accomplishments. We need to write them down and create a list. For example, perfect attendance for 12 months, trained on three additional positions, helped reduce picking errors, assisted with onboarding new employees, improved productivity by 30 pallets per hour, reduced damage claims and maintained safety compliance, and learned the new equipment, as well as receiving positive feedback from my management team and customers. Specific examples, data, and facts matter. When you can demonstrate your value, the conversation changes. Don't bring problems, bring solutions. This is one of the biggest career secrets I've learned over forty years. Anybody can identify problems. Leaders identify solutions. Imagine walking into your manager’s office and saying I’ve noticed we’re losing time during shift startup. I have three ideas that may improve productivity. That’s different. Or I think we could reduce loading errors if we adjusted the staging process. Or I’d like to help train new associates because I think we can improve retention. Now you’re thinking beyond your job. You're showing you’re thinking about the operation. And that’s valuable. Here’s another secret, or opinion I guess! Raises become easier when your goals align with the company’s goals. What does your company care about? Safety? Quality? Productivity? Attendance? Customer service? Retention? Cost reduction? If you can demonstrate how your efforts helped support those goals, you’re speaking the language leadership understands. You’re not saying I want more money. You’re saying I helped move the organization forward. See the big difference there? So how do we ask for a raise? Keep it professional and simple. Something like thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I’ve really enjoyed my role and the opportunities I’ve had here. Over the past year I’ve expanded my skills, improved my performance, and taken on additional responsibilities. I’d like to discuss my future with the company and whether my compensation reflects the value I’m currently providing. Notice what’s missing? No demands. No ultimatums. No threats. Just facts. Professional facts. And then what if the answer is no? First, don’t get emotional. Get information. Ask what skills or accomplishments would you like to see from me before we revisit this conversation? Now you’ve created a roadmap. Maybe they want more leadership or more productivity. Maybe they want additional certifications, or they want more time in the role. Whatever the answer, now you know what target you’re aiming for. And that’s valuable information. Let’s wrap up with this thought. Raises aren’t earned in a fifteen minute meeting. They’re earned in hundreds of small decisions over time. Showing up. Being on time. Learning another task. Helping a teammate. Theres's hundreds of little important things, oh, here's a big one, we've talked about owning our mistakes. And maintaining a positive attitude. Taking safety seriously. Thinking like a leader. Bringing solutions. Supporting company goals. Those things build value. And like we learned a couple of weeks ago, value builds trust and trust builds opportunity. And not sounding all motivational on you but I'll add that opportunity builds careers and careers build income. If you’re listening today and wondering how to earn more money in warehousing, transportation, manufacturing, or production, start by asking yourself, am I becoming more valuable than I was six months ago? Because the employees who continually increase their value rarely have to chase opportunities. Opportunities start chasing them. Until next time, work smart, keep learning, and above all work safe out there!

The nickname “nonce” became associated with Prince Andrew following the exposure of his deep ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre that he had sexual contact with her when she was underage. In British slang, “nonce” is a highly derogatory term for someone accused of child sexual abuse, and the label stuck after Andrew's disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, where his denials — including the infamous “I don't sweat” line — made him a public laughingstock. The term spread rapidly through social media, satire, and even pop culture, culminating in the release of the punk song Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce, which mocked both his scandal and his implausible defenses. The nickname became shorthand for his fall from grace and a reflection of the public's disgust toward his alleged conduct and lack of accountability.When Prince Philip died in April 2021, Andrew maneuvered his way into the funeral despite being stripped of royal duties and public standing. Attendance was strictly limited to thirty people due to COVID restrictions, but Andrew, as Philip's son, was included as a matter of protocol — a decision that sparked backlash among both the public and palace insiders. Reports suggested Andrew was eager to use the event as a soft return to royal life, positioning himself visibly in the procession and trying to rehabilitate his image through sympathy optics. While the palace maintained his inclusion was a family matter, critics viewed it as a calculated move by Andrew to reinsert himself into royal proceedings after the Epstein scandal had effectively exiled him from public life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Improving attendance has been the obsession of both the government and Ofsted since 2020, leading to pressure being heaped on schools - and subsequently children and families - to solve a growing crisis. A fixation on the data, however, is not solving the problem and, instead of looking at the “why”, a punitive approach has been the chosen method of the government - but enforced on the ground by schools. This has led to a breakdown in relationships between parents and schools, with increasing blame falling on Heads and teachers, for situations which are ultimately out of their hands. Equally, schools have little power to solve the real problems causing high levels of absence, but all the while being held to account on the numbers. Has the situation reached breaking point? Is the position of schools now impossible? Join Rae, Dave, Yasmin and Liz.

Falls Prevention After Stroke: What the Latest Research Reveals About Staying Safe and Mobile For many stroke survivors, the fear of falling is a constant companion. It’s there when you get up from the couch, when you navigate the kitchen, when you try to walk further than you did yesterday. That fear is rational, falls after a stroke are common, and their consequences can be serious. But according to Associate Professor Kate Scrivener, a stroke rehabilitation researcher at Macquarie University, that fear doesn’t have to define your recovery. In Episode 409 of the Recovery After Stroke podcast, Kate returns to the show where she first appeared in Episode 257 to discuss her HiWalk walking program and share the results of two major research projects: the published Phase II results of HiWalk, and a new systematic review focused specifically on exercise-based falls prevention after stroke. Who Is Kate Scrivener? Associate Professor Kate Scrivener leads stroke rehabilitation research at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Her work sits at the intersection of real-world clinical practice and rigorous research. She doesn’t just study stroke recovery, she designs and tests the programs that can change it. Kate first appeared on this podcast to talk about HiWalk, a high-dose walking intervention designed to push the limits of what long-term stroke survivors can achieve. Now, with the results published, she’s back to talk about what the data actually showed and what it means for survivors who want to reduce their fall risk. The HiWalk Results: What Happened When 47 Survivors Walked Hard HiWalk was built on a straightforward but ambitious premise: what happens if stroke survivors, who have been living with their disability for years, are given a truly high-dose walking program? Not a gentle weekly session, but 43 hours of structured walking across just three weeks. The Phase II randomized trial enrolled 47 participants and produced results worth paying attention to. Attendance was 91%. Retention was 98%. For a physically demanding trial involving chronic stroke survivors, those numbers are remarkable, and they tell their own story about what survivors are capable of when given a real opportunity. For participants who were not already in active rehabilitation at the time of the trial, walking speed improved by 0.24 metres per second, a clinically significant gain. Self-efficacy, a measure of how confident participants felt in their own ability to walk and function, also improved significantly. The overall group walking speed trend was positive but did not reach statistical significance across the full cohort, partly because HiWalk was a Phase II feasibility trial, designed to test whether the program could be delivered safely and whether participants would complete it. It was not powered to detect large group-wide effects. What it demonstrated is that this kind of high-dose program is feasible, achievable, and produces real gains for the right participants. Why Falls Prevention After Stroke Is Harder Than It Sounds Falls after stroke are not simply a balance problem. They involve fatigue, reduced sensation, spasticity, cognitive changes, and the interaction between all of those things in the unpredictable terrain of daily life. Most stroke survivors are told to be careful. Very few are given a structured, evidence-based program designed specifically to reduce their risk. Kate’s systematic review, published in Clinical Rehabilitation in 2026, searched the global literature for exercise-based trials targeting falls prevention in community-dwelling stroke survivors. Only three trials worldwide met the inclusion criteria. That number alone says something significant. Falls after stroke are widely acknowledged as a major problem. The research base for solving it is thin. Of the three trials identified, exercise trended toward reducing the rate of falls, but the effect on the total number of people who fell was less clear. The standout result came from the FAST trial, which reduced fall rates by 33%. All three qualifying trials were conducted in Australia, raising important questions about whether these findings can be replicated in different healthcare systems with different levels of access to physiotherapy and structured exercise. What This Means for Stroke Survivors Right Now Kate’s research points to two things survivors and their families can act on. First, walking intensity matters. The HiWalk results suggest that long-term survivors who have plateaued in conventional rehabilitation may have more capacity than they or their clinicians assume. High-dose, structured walking appears to produce gains that lower-intensity programs don’t reach. If you’re a survivor who has been told to keep active but hasn’t been given a specific, progressive program, that’s worth a conversation with your physiotherapist. Second, exercise for falls prevention works, but it needs to be the right kind, delivered consistently. Gentle movement is valuable. But the evidence base Kate’s review maps out points toward structured, progressive exercise as the mechanism that shifts fall rates meaningfully. The FAST trial’s 33% reduction didn’t come from telling people to be more careful. It came from changing what they were physically capable of doing. Bill’s book, The Unexpected Way That A Stroke Became The Best Thing That Happened, explores the tools and mindset shifts that underpin a recovery built on action rather than waiting. You can find it at recoveryafterstroke.com/book. The Gap Between Research and Practice One of the most important threads in this conversation is the distance between what the research supports and what most survivors actually receive. Kate’s systematic review found only three qualifying trials globally. HiWalk’s feasibility results are published, but the next step, a large-scale Phase III trial, requires funding, time, and institutional will. For survivors, that gap can feel frustrating. The science is pointing in a clear direction. The programs aren’t yet widely available. Kate’s work is part of closing that distance.

Fox's $22 billion acquisition of Roku is one of the biggest media and advertising technology stories in years, and it could fundamentally reshape connected TV. In this special breaking news episode of the AdTechGod Pod, AdTechGod is joined by Kyle Dozeman Co-Founder & CEO at Kovva  and former CRO of PubMatic, Richie Hyden (SVP of Publisher Solutions at Viant Technologies), and David Nyurenberg (SVP at InterMedia Advertising) to discuss the strategic implications of the deal. This episode covers why Fox made this move, what Roku's 100+ million household footprint brings to the table, and why identity, audience data, and operating system ownership may be more valuable than streaming content itself. They also discuss how the acquisition could transform audience targeting, measurement, content discovery, programmatic advertising, and Fox's ability to compete with giants like Amazon, Google, Netflix, and Disney. Will this create a new advertising powerhouse? How will brands, agencies, and publishers be affected? And five years from now, will this be remembered as a content play, an identity play, or the deal that changed connected TV forever? Tune in for expert analysis on one of the most consequential acquisitions in the history of streaming.

The 10-year average falls to 166 inches. Here's the year-by-year breakdown:Trail count: 110 (24% beginner, 25% intermediate, 51% expert)Lift count: 13 (1 pulse gondola, 2 high-speed quads, 2 fixed-grip quads, 4 triples, 1 double, 3 carpets)Why I interviewed himLet's start with a superficially troubling number: Taos' long, steady decline in average annual skier visits:That doesn't look so good, especially when laid alongside the long-term increase in national skier visits:Taos not only declined in the context of national skier visits, but also among its peers. In winter 1983-84, Taos drew more skiers (241,000) than Telluride (132,460), Big Sky (136,000), Jackson Hole (177,000), Whitefish (I'm lacking an estimate for that winter, but the ski area then known as “Big Mountain” logged 209,000 skiers in 1980-81 and 170,581 in 1985-86). Taos (dark blue line below), continued to out-duel this group through about the mid-90s before falling off a cliff:So what happened? 1995 Taos, a freeride mecca before freeride was cool, should have been perfectly suited to flourish in a cultural moment when skiers began demanding more interesting terrain than the groomed superhighways that had become the industry's default setting. Sure, Taos was remote and a bit harder to access than, say, Keystone or Park City, but so were Jackson and Whitefish and Big Sky and Telluride. A partial explanation: Taos stopped modernizing. After replacing the Lift 2 double with a fixed-grip quad in 1994, Taos didn't install another new chairlift for 19 years. The first detachable didn't arrive until 2018. The resort banned snowboards until 2008. Meanwhile, Big Sky laced a tram to the summit of Lone Peak in 1995 and started pushing detachable quads up the mountain; the first high-speed quads arrived at Telluride in 1986 and Whitefish in 1989.It's not a perfect narrative – while Jackson Hole rolled out its short Sublette detach in the mid-90s, the mountain didn't install an upper-mountain high-speed chairlift until Casper in 2012. Skier visits went up and up and up all that time, probably due in large part to aggressive improvements at the Jackson Hole airport.Maybe, though, it's as simple as this: banger snow years descended upon Taos – and New Mexico in general – from the late ‘80s through mid-‘90s. It's little surprise that attendance ups-and-downs largely mirror snowfall patterns:But, as the corresponding trendlines show, Taos' skier visits have not declined at the same rate as the mountain's average annual snowfall. And while Jackson's long-term average snowfall has remained relatively constant, attendance has crept steadily upward. Attendance spiked at both mountains when the 2018-19 season brought both plentiful snow and the introduction of the Ikon Pass:Unfortunately, Taos stopped reporting skier visits after the Covid-shortened 2019-20 season, so we have less concrete insight into whether the mountain's recent investments in a reconfigured beginner area and a second detachable on the backside have insulated it from two historically poor snow years. This is why it's nice to have basic visitation data, and why I'm pushing the ski industry to again publicize annual attendance for ski areas occupying public lands (since going live with a chart of 2,406 years of skier visit data for 97 ski areas with 10 or more years of attendance available, I'm up to 2,822 years across 108 ski areas, and I have a total of 3,802 years of data across 184 active U.S. ski areas for which I could find at least one year of attendance).We do know this: Taos doesn't want to return to the world of 300,000-plus skier visits. Somewhere between 250,000 and 275,000 is the “right number for the experience we want Taos to have,” Kelly tells us on the pod. Meaning: fewer skiers spread via a modern lift network is a better business than 364,000 skiers funneling onto double chairs. This flips the busiest-equals-best narrative that made skier-visit counts a 20th-century bragging point. I've heard the same logic articulated by the leaders of Killington, Waterville Valley, and other ski areas that have created a better business even with fewer skiers on their mountains. Jackson Hole, too, halted its relentless upward surge – that 2020-21 dip was deliberate, as the mountain exited Ikon Base and implemented a reservation system.This approach makes sense to me. With U.S. skier visits surging (until this year) and an Ikon or Epic pass in every pocket, no one wants to brag about being busy anymore. Space is the new volume. Social media can still transform one bad liftline into an eternal meme, but at least most skiers on the ground will have a better day most of the time than they probably would have 30 years ago.What doesn't make sense to me is why, in a less-is-more era, ski area operators have suddenly decided that skier visits should be guarded like Fort Knox. If fewer skiers is a good thing and a stated goal, why hide the numbers? The resorts ought to just say “Hey we've deliberately reduced our annual skier count from 300,000 to 250,000 [or whatever] to create a better mountain for you.” Instead, this secrecy around volume just looks cagey - if national skier visit numbers are up, then why should skiers just believe ski areas when they say “trust us, it's better now,” and offer no data to support it? Perception is reality, and today's skiing zeitgeist, as channeled by social media, tells us that American skiers perceive busier mountains today than they did a decade ago.But I'm getting off track. Since Louis Bacon bought Taos in 2013, he's funded an almost-complete renovation of what had become America's most decrepit destination ski resort. I don't think any mountain operating on U.S. Forest Service lands has more completely remade itself in the past decade (rapidly changing Big Sky, Deer Valley, and Powder Mountain operate on private property). Glimmering new but reset to 1970s volume, Taos is beautifully positioned to tap a skiing public that's burned-out on Colorado and Utah crowds but accustomed to modern lifts and snowmaking.What we talked aboutTaos as a family ski mountain; last winter's Chair 7 upgrade and custom terminals; owner Louis Bacon's mission to “improve everything without changing a thing”; why Taos changed from Skytrac to parent company Leitner-Poma for its newer lifts; Taos' great base-area reorganization; the story behind the Free Tacos run; a green run from the top of every lift other than the fierce Kachina triple; Taos' massive evolution since 2015; whether the mountain is committed to long-term independence; the founding Blake family's legacy and presence at Taos today; executing rapid development on Forest Service land; [VIDEO BONUS: Cat photobombing]; running Taos with the context of having worked at also-independent Telluride; becoming a skier growing up in Nashville, Tennessee; Telluride's evolution from semi-affordable to gigantic housing puzzle; employee housing at Taos; the logic behind the proposed base-to-base gondola and navigating local opposition; thoughts on the evolution of lifts 2 and 8; preserving parts of the hike-to ski experience; Taos' evolution after the Kachina Peak lift; lift 7A; the Minnesotas glades from the masterplan; avalanche mitigation; old-school boot-packing; parking lot evolutions; an ideal annual skier visit number and why that number is below historic highs; and getting to Taos.What I got wrong* When we discuss the wood-paneled terminals on Taos' new Lift 7, I ask if they're thematically related to the “wood RFID gates.” This is a reference to an earlier conversation that I cut, about Taos finally installing RFID for the 2025-26 ski season (the gates carry a wood theme). * I said that the trees skier's left of the Pioneer chair were not a named run, but they in fact are, and “Free Tacos” has a pretty awesome story behind it.* I accidentally asked Kelly to, “lay out the housing landscape for Telluride” but meant to say “Taos.” I didn't catch this in real time, but Kelly – who spent several years at Telluride before moving to Taos in 2015 – caught it and course-corrected.Questions I wished I'd askedTaos' 2010 USFS masterplan proposed a 7,045-foot-long, 2,363-vertical-foot detach quad that would have run parallel to Lift 1 to the top of Lift 2:We did, however, discuss the proposed 545-vertical-foot, 991-foot-long Ridge Lift off of Lift 8, and why Taos nixed that machine from its latest MDP:Why you should (or shouldn't) ski TaosTaos, like Jackson Hole or Snowbird or Palisades Tahoe, has a toughguy reputation. The place ripples with hike-to chutes and glades. To calm visitors shocked by the vertical bump run rocketing skyward beneath Chair 1, Taos to erected this base-area sign decades ago:The sign refers to the infamous Al's Run, which typically ripples with moguls, but was closed on my last visit, in March 2025 (Lift 1 was open):Taos certainly has plenty of nasty. The terrain ripping off the Kachina Peak triple is among the steepest inbounds terrain I'm aware of in America. But what shocked me about the place was how approachable it was for my then-8-year-old son, a solid but very intermediate skier. Every chair other than Kachina offers a top-to-bottom green – and some mostly mellow blues – making Taos one of the better family mountains in America.A lot of the solid-black terrain sits above the lifts, and requires a short, easy hike. If you've ever humped up Catherine's at Alta or Spanky's Ladder on Blackcomb, the ascent off of Lift 2 over to Highline Ridge or West Basin Ridge isn't much longer, and it flattens out considerably after the short incline. Unlike East Wall at A-Basin or Highlands Bowl at Aspen Highlands, this is hike-up terrain that's approachable for people who (like me), live at sea level and only like going up the mountain on machines. The runs are steep, and solo missions are discouraged, but the easy-in and proximity to lifts means a strong skier could reasonably expect to tuck a half-dozen hike-up laps into an afternoon. Here I am huffing and puffing right off Chair 2:Dang those trees are steep even right off the jump. Crunch crunch crunch:Go up a bit higher, and things get Lord of The Rings pretty fast:Taos' only real buyer-beware statistic is its insane base elevation of 9,350 feet, which makes everything, especially sleep, a bit more challenging. That altitude is actually a bit lower than the bases at Copper (9,712) or Breck (9,600). I start to have trouble functioning around 8,000 feet, which is the Vail (8,120), Snowmass (8,110), Snowbird (7,760), and Mammoth (7,953) range. So maybe see how you do at one of those burners before leveling up above 9,000 feet. Or at least arrive knowing that Taos will try punching you in the face. Hydrate and lay off the beer bongs for a day or two. You'll be fine.Podcast NotesOn Stadeli liftsWe've got 16 of these guys left across 10 U.S. ski areas, including Lift 7A at Taos:On the character of old chairliftsI wrote last year that U.S. ski lifts' overall design aesthetic has deteriorated with the decline in number of manufacturers and a tacit emphasis on technology over beauty.And I love old Riblets and Halls and Yans, but sentimentalism that locks skiing in a time capsule ultimately stalls long-term growth and invites disaster-by-disintegration. Rather than fight to live in a museum, I've adopted a quest mentality to ride as many of these dinosaurs as I can before they go extinct:On Taos' base-area fliparoundOn Taos' current masterplanHere's the conceptual overview of Taos' 2021 U.S. Forest Service master development plan:The major unrealized part of this is the base-to-base gondola - here's the most recent plan for that lift:On “class A avalanche mountains” with more than 200 slidepathsKelly mentioned that Taos' more than 200 slidepaths earn it the designation of a Class A avalanche mountain. I of course went looking for a list of U.S. ski areas so classified, and of course did not find one. In a rare exercise in self-restraint, however, I also did not create one. A quick Google search suggests that that such a list would include Alta, Kirkwood, and Stevens Pass alongside Taos. I would also assume that Alpine Meadows, Palisades, Mammoth, Snowbird, Big Sky, Silverton, and Crested Butte are among the most avy prone. That is not a complete list or an attempt at one so please don't write that I “forgot about” some particularly avalanche-prone mountain that I'm not trying very hard to remember.On The Storm's first Taos podcastThe Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.
