Alpensugus.   Musik Marco Mazotti - Chind va dä achtziger - Acoustic Version Orange Radio - Sweet Spot Pascal Gamboni - Verd Gottfried Supersaxo - z`chlei Muggu if dinum Putti / Dialog am Strandbad - ( Mani Matter by GoSu ) Arthur Henry - Sounds of Swiss Alps   Ist Badminton bad? So was von gluschtig uf na Partie Federball mit dir. Anna hat ihre Brüste auch nie getauft und nun frage ich alle Männer wieso man den das Gefühl hat eurem Penis einen Namen zu geben? Nach meiner Umfrage frage nicht nur ich mich - sondern auch die beiden Künstlerinnen Justine Koeke und Mimose Pale folgendes : Fehlt es der Erotik  an Humor.   Meine sehr geehrte Community des gelesenen oder gesprochenen Wortes. Sie werden sich nun wieder Fragen ob es in diesem Bericht schon wieder nur um Puttini und andersartige gluschtige Sauereinen geht. Die Idee einen Fels zu penetrieren, ist komisch aber irgendwie interessant sagt Mimosa aber wie gesagt, in diesem Essay versuchen wir aber auch Grenzen zu sprengen? Spontanität schlägt die geplante Inszenierung. Frau im Wald als Input, Inzucht und Inszenierung oder wollen wir hier und jetzt mal lieber über das Unwetter diskutieren? Oder eben den Walliser Schwarznasuschafwollerollchragubikini ?   Den Backscratcher haben wir im Institut für Schneeflockeninventar diese Woche mit der Kralle ausgestattet ,damit man,  und ja weil gerade der nächste Winter schon fast wieder vor der Türe steht… mit ja der Kralle ausgestattet. Dies vereinfacht das öffnen der Schnallen der Skischuh - genau und das schliessen. Weil die Arme im älter ja immer kürzer werden…..! Auch beim Versuch die Lebenabschnittparterin/er zu umarmen, nun gut da hilft die Kralle nicht wirklich. Vielleicht hilf da nur weniger von diesem leckeren Aufschnitt? Aber unserem Gunti wird die Tage dafür sicher auch was einfallen.  Zurück zur Frage - fehlt es der Erotik an Humor? Absolut mein Justyna. Dieser Bereich des Lebens wird sehr ernst genommen, aber wenn es lustig sein soll, wird es schnell unangenehm. Wir wollen zeigen, dass erotische Fantasien auch witzig und unangenehm sein können, ohne unangenehme, dreckige Hintergedanken. Mimosa : Und es war auch die Idee neue Bilder zu schaffen, weg von dem was wir schon kennen. So eine nackte Frau im in der Natur ist ja das klassische Bild. Das zu brechen mit Humor und Witz, war unser Ziel.  www.justynakoeke.com www.mimosapale.com   Letzte Woche ging das Gerücht herum, dass Nemo der neue Botschafter des Walliser Schwarznasenwollrollchragubikini wird? Ein Modell gerade eben deswegen ist auch für das 3. Geschlecht in Planung. Gunti welcher in diesem Projekt federführend ist wird von der besten Ehefrau der Welt, von seiner Marie tatkräftig unterstützt. Auch ging in den letzten Wochen der Planung und Umfragen sehr viel Feedback ein. Männer wünschen sich einen einfachen Verschluss betreffend Öffnung. Frauen meinten : auch wenn nie beide Brüste gleich gross seinen, so sei es nicht so gravierend, dass nun Milli eine Korbgrösse mehr braucht als Vanilliiii. Das Bundesamt für sorgenlosen Geschlechtsvfairkehr nimmt sich solchen Anliegen an.  Und wir haben mir deswegen ernsthaft Sorgen gemacht, und gedacht, ja gerade wir werden hier was revoluzzen? Immerhin kommt die Idee der super flex scretch Rollkragen sehr gut an. Bedenken betreffend wasserdicht und heiss = wasserdicht ja weil auch Schafe gerne schwimmen und heiss nein - weil die Wolle des Walliser  Schwarznasenschafes ja Hitze abweisend ist. Ansonsten wie gesagt, gibt es den W-Lan föhn mit dem super cool glacier air button und ja trocknen kann man den BH mit dem very red very hot sahara air button.    Die Dienststelle für mehr Spontanküsserei hat diese Woche wiederum festgestellt, dass die Zahlen der Geschlechtsfairkehr-Fairehrer nach oben steigt. Dies wiederum kommt der Herstellung der handglismutu Hanf-Schwarznasukondom zu gute. Z`Marie hat ja nun richtig viel um die Ohren weil sie neben all diesen Ideen von Gunti vollamtlich als selbständige Foodbloggerin und Vinfluencerin tätig ist. Diese Woche kreierte sie für the Snowroom by Horny Chef einen weissen Dipp - Quark - Fajita Spice - feinstes Olivenöl, dieser Dipp perfekt in den Wraps oder Pitta Bred.  Vollkorn-Wraps aus Walliser Roggenmehl - Gemüse und Huhn roasted on the BBQ. Dazu und weil ja gerade eben die Alpenrosen blühen ein feinstes Glas von diesem süffigen Rosé der Cave Fin Bec mit einem Preis-Leistungsfairhältnis welches zu finden gilt. Wie gesagt, passend zu Schärfe der Fajitas die Frucht und Leichtigkeit des Rosé welcher aus Pinot Noir aus Salgesch - Oberwallis,  Humagne Rouge aus dem Unterwallis, und aus Grenache von Südfrankreich kredenzt wird. Und ja Marie ist heute übrigens den ganzen Tag nicht erreichbar, sie ist so an einem Workshop welches von den anonymen Querdenkern in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fairzettelungsagentur organisiert wurde - Titel : erfolgreich scheitern.    https://finbec.ch/fin-bec-rose-sel-no-22/   Kulinarische Events : Walliser Raclette Abend mit den passenden Weinen - Hof Musegg Luzern by Rolly Lobsiger    Zurück bei Freggy 2.0 o. Freggy 2 Point Zero. Haute Couture de la Perle des Alpes. The official Brand des Schwarznasenwollerollchragubikiniiiii!!! Sich in drückender schwüler Hitze elegant zu kleiden und gleichzeitig nicht vor Hitze zu vergehen, ist gar nicht so einfach. Das Sommerstück by Freggy 2.0 soll da helfen. Der Walliser Schwarznasuwollerollchragubinini aus feinster und ja wie der Name schon sagt, aus feinster Walliser Schwarznasenwolle, welche temperaturregulierend Eigenschaften hat und so überschüssige Wärme ableitet. Hier auch etwas inspiriert vom Studio Oboi welches mit Merinowolle arbeitet. Die Wolle ist ein Wunder der Natur. Sie hat amtungsaktive Eigenschaften und wirkt gleichzeitig temperaturregulierend. Das tönt ja schon fast wie die Werbung aus der Dauerfernsehsendung ? www.studioosoi.com     Wie bauen Fructarier ein Haus? Aus Bananenkisten. Wollte nur mal so bisschen ablenken und gekonnt das Thema wechseln. Und aus was besteht das Material des Brautkleides? Aus Organgenhaut. Da gibt es doch noch diesen Witz? Bisschen Frauenfeindlich? Eine Frau muss sich eine Woche lang nicht waschen und schmeckt immer noch fruchtig. Wieso? Wegen der Orangenhaut. Sicher äu vom Rolf Schmid?    Museum Tipp der Woche : am Dienstag eröffnet im Museum Blumenstein in Solothurn die neue Ausstellung - Seife - Sex und Schokolade.  Immer noch fällt es dem weiblichen Geschlecht schwer über ihre sexuelle Lust zu sprechen. Der Umgang mit unserer Körperlichkeit ist geprägt durch die Erziehung, die Gesellschaft und die Zeit, in der man lebt, und entsprechend mit zahlreichen Tabus und Schamgefühlen verbunden.    IM TV sah ich, wie eine Frau versuchte, ihren Mann mit den Brüsten zu ersticken und da ein Feedback von Claudia Nova noch betreffend eben ob sie ihre Brüste getauft hat. Claudia arbeitet als Escort Dame der gehobenen Art und schreibt auch immer mal wieder was tolles in Ihrem Blog. www.claudianvoca.ch. Mehr Infos dazu natürlich im bei @ Radio Supersaxo diese Woche.    Sollen wir nun zu den Lift Anekdote oder ja was mich diese Woche sehr tief beeindruckt hat, die Solidarität in Saas-Grund und wie da geholfen wurde. Ich persönlich frage mich - und klar kann man immer noch via Twint helfen oder auch vor Ort die Schaufel anpacken. Aber eben zu meiner Frage - wie lange geht es bis solche Umweltkatastrophen ein professionelles Umweltmarketing braucht. Viele Firmen waren mit ihren Mitarbeiter:innen vor Ort. Kräftig wurde alle Fotografiert, Selfies, für die Followers und auf der Suche nach den Likes? Tu gutes und rede darüber.    Ich finde eher - tu gutes und schweige darüber? Wie uncool und unprofessionell und gerade eben ausschlachten. Die Gaffer am Strassenrand. Die Medien. Die Berichte. Vielleicht gibt es schon bald Unwetter Team Building Events und ein Merchandising mit T-Shirts - I helped Saas-Grund 2024.    NGO`s waren vor Ort. Non - Governmental organizations zu Deutsch : Nichtregulierungsorganisationen. Darunter versteht man eine Gruppe von Menschen, die sich zusammenschliessen, um gemeinsame Interessen zu verfolgen und Probleme in der Gesellschaft anzugehen.  Teambuliding und Wiederaufbau. Gemeinsam aufräumen - helfen - das Team bei. Umweltkatastrophen zusammenschweissen. Die nächste Umweltkatastrophe kommt bestimmt. Firmen könnten jetzt schon tolle Angebote offerieren für den Wiederaufbau und sich positionieren.  Die Gaffer:innen feiern sich so richtig anstatt mit anzupacken. Wer hat mir geholfen? Die Armee und der Zivilschutz sind doch vor Ort. Egoismus?   Humanitäre Hilfsorganisationen rücken an. Spenden werden gesammelt. Wo war Unicef, Caritas und der WWF. Freiwilligenprojekte hier vor Ort anstatt nach Afrika fliegen. Ein Auslandsjahr und vielleicht könnten solche Angebote von den Amerikanern und den Asiatischen Gutmensch Menschen gebucht werden?  In Zusammenarbeit mit Greenpeace Travel und der Suisse sowie  Terre des Hommes und Shell.    World Vision präsentiert die Idee mit der Patenschaft neu und man wird heute nicht mehr Pate/in von einem Kind in Afrika nein man übernimmt die Patenschaft eines Saaser Mutten. Das sind die Schafe mit den langen Haaren welche von Pro Specia Rara geschützt sind.    Auch Murmeltierbauten - Tunnels und ihre Bewohner und Bewohnerinnen wurden überflutet. Doch darüber will woll noch niemand berichten. Vielleicht könnte Gunti auch Gondolas für eben Murmeltiere bauen aber wie umsetzen? Oder eben die Arche Noah aus Saaser Lärchenholz. Nächster Abfahrtstermin : 02.08.2024 : 16.30 !

Alpengigolos.   Zuerst aber bitte noch kräftig Saas-Grund unterstützen - dies könnt Ihr via Twint siehe Bild unten im Blog oder Bild auf meinen Social Media Account.  www.gottfriedsupersaxo.net/blog   Z`Baby vam đã Fructarier also so z`Bett - wie seisch : äm,  die Wiege - also Fructier-Eltern legen ihr frisch geborenes Baby in eine Wassermelone ! Wer keine Babys will verhütet mit einem Fruchtgummi. Papa va där Mel B hät gmeinttt so äbu äu Aufklärung etc. Di bescht Verhütung isch wenn die Pille zwüschä knöi chlemsch !    Manch einer Zuhörerin ist auch schon aufgefallen, dass es auf Radio Supersaxo so zimliii vil  Puttini u suscht Gluschtigs vorkommt ! U da häni a tolli Zeichnig gseh : Gardening is so much easyer when i dont wear a Bra. U schi äbu so im Gartu wo schi ihrusch Hängebriischt als Kneischonär brücht.  Im Institut für mehr Spontanküsserei u in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bundesamt für mehr sorgenlosen Geschlechtsverkehr bieten diese Dienstellen Workshops an für mehr Selbstvertrauen in einem Leben mit Hängebrüsten….! Ob ich zu lange an der mütterlichen Brust war - werde ich öfters gefragt? Also die fittlabluttu Puttini vor dem Spiegel - meint z`Millie zum Vanilliii u den Witz hatten wir ja in der letzten Sendung? Aber dem mim Jesus und meint a Frau so zum Jesus am Kreuz : Was machsch dä dü da? Ihm just hanging around. U där Witz mit der Autobahn Wallis u Dubai?   Betreffend dem Walliser Schwarznasenwollerollkragenbikini haben Frauen bedenken es könnte so die Brustwarzen verkratzen - jucken - reiben tun? Wir erinnern uns das wir die Brustwarzen der Frau schon lange Puttiponginis tauften? Weil Warze nicht wirklich schön? Also beim Kauf eines Walliser Schwarznasenwollerollkragenbikini wird deshalb für sensible und sensitive Puttiponginis eine Topf Murmeltiersalbe mitgeliefert. Einreiben kann dies die Frau selbst oder einer der Alpengigolos aus unserem Netzwerk. Der Topf aus Saaser Lärchenholz - hergestellt in einer regionalen Schreinerei mit Mitmenschen mit wie sagt man dem neu ? Inklusion ?    U Z`Marie ja die beste Ehefrau von allen hat letztes mal den Gunti mit der schmutzigen Wäsche in den Waschsalon geschickt, weil zu Hause die Maschine kaputt war und Gunti mit seinem W-Lan Föhn diese nicht wirklich reparieren konnte. Auch der W-Lan Duschkopf mit der Wasser Waschmaschinen Einspritzfunktion war nicht wirklich eine Hilfe und den Backscratcher, ja nu.  Gunti blickte hypnotisiert in die Waschmaschine als eine Frau mit kurzen Haaren und langen Hals nun ja diese Frau welche der Deutschen Schauspielerin so gleicht - ach wie heisst die schon wieder? Jasmin Gerat. Die Frau also im Waschsalon legt ihre schmutzige Wäsche aus der Tasche in die Waschmaschine - ein rotiii Buttitshiffra kit am Briii ….   Danach zieht sich die Frau fittlablutt aus und auch diese Kleider mit hinein und schaut den Mann an - also den Gunti und ach ja - sie sind alleine und nun wissen sie ja was passiert? Sie fragt ihn ob sie seine Kleider - also die welche er gerade noch so anhat auch mitwaschen soll. Fittlablutt stehen sie so nun im Waschsalon und gucken hypnotisiert in die Waschmaschinen. Sie meint dann zu ihm : Eigentlich könnten wir uns ja ein bisschen Vergnügen? Er : Komplet verdattert und verwittert etc etc - ja eigentliiiii!!! Während dem läutet bei den Häfligers das Telefon. Ein anonymer Anruf. Z`Marie ignoriert den Anruf. Sie ignoriert alle anonymen Anrufe. 3 Tage hinter einander, immer zu gleichen Zeit, drei anonyme Anrufe. Und dann war Schluss. Keine anonyme Anrufe mehr. Z`Marie fühlte sich irgendwie anders, niemand mehr der anruft. Diese Ruhe machte sie unruhig. Im Radio läuft das Lied : Kein Schwein ruft mich an, keine Sau interessiert sich für mich !    Z`Gunti kommt spät aus der Wäscherei zurück und strahlt wie ein Maikäfer im Julli und Z`Marie schöpft den Verdacht, dass er wohl wieder in der Schäferstube am fendälä isch gsiiiii und war nicht bevor er ging ein Fleck auf seinem Pullover? Gläubuu ich spinnu so langsam denkst sich Marie.    Sie schickt ihn in den Garten wo er ans seinen Naturprojekten weiter arbeiten tutet. Wieso baust du eigentlich so viele *Gondolas - das mit dem Hochwasser ist ja jetzt durch? Und verchäuft häsch äu nu nix Im Radio läuft Rondo Veneziano. Aber Schatziii Bohniiii häsch där Wättärbriiicht färs Wuchunänd no nid gluegt? *Die Gondolas aus Saaser Lärchenholz welche man mit dem Old Alpine Shop Stick… - wir erinnern uns an die weise Voraussagen - dass die neue Walliser Autobahn überschwemmt wird und nun Gunti sein Gondola Verleih im Tal - also auf der verschütteten neuen Walliser Autobahn ausbauen will?  Diese Szene mim Marie und dem Gunti erinnert uns stark an die Zeit als Gunti noch Künstler war. In seinem Atelier schuf er ein expressiv-abstraktes Werk nach dem anderen und da kam Marie in sein Atelier : was malusch dä so viel Bildär wenn nix verchäufsch? Abärrr Schatzi Bohniiii - jetzu stellt där vor : d`Hochkonkunkunktur chunt z rugg u Liiiit händ ändli widär Gäld får Küscht u i hä dä kei Bilder ? U ja das mit der Gondola erinnert doch auch an die Szene mit Noah als der die Arche baute?    Ach ja, betreffend Noah. Unsere Hunde welche ich Gassi und ja die reden ja viel miteinander und da meinte Noah so zu Bandit und ja klar sie reden griechisch miteinander und das auch nur um mich zu ärgern, waren ja nur kurz in Griechenland aber wenn es um Europa geht - da geht ihnen die Neutralität der Schweizer…..!!!   Αν ήμουν άνθρωπος, θα έπαιζα γκολφ;…………!!! Und was sie aber nicht wussten, dass ich Ihre Diskussionen schon lange via KI übersetzen lasse !! Muesch us hie hä - abär äu hie ? Noah so zu Bandit : Wenn du ein Mensch wärst! Würdest du golfen? Nein lieber lismu antwortete Bandit.    Kira und ich wiederum gönnten uns diese Tage eine Entrecote Diät weil ja nun gut die Beilagen den Braten nun auch nicht fett machen? Kennen Sie die Band - Phantom DOTS? Und weil die Schweiz ja gerade so gut Fussball und HBS = Happy Birthday Switzerland und vielleicht gibt es schon bald mal eine neue Sendung auf Radio Supersaxo :  könnten wir auch LIVE machen? Oder auf der Strasse?  Telefon Aufzeichnung ?    Sali hie isch Godi S va Radio Supersaxo - genau - z`wundrig Saasi. Im üFTRAG vam Institut fär meh Spontanküsserei u vom Bundesamt für mehr sorgenlosen Geschlechtsverkehr sind wir ja am Projekt des Walliser Schwarznasenwollerollchragubikini und machen eine etwas intime Umfrage :  Frage 1 = Sind dini Puttini beidiii gliich gross ?  Frage 2 = Händ dini Puttini ähnlich wie bei Mel B an Namu zb äbu : Milli und Vanilliii! Und ja die Antworten werden natürlich im Radio anonym publiziert - also die Audio Dateien und gut , es kann also nun gut und gerne vorkommen, dass sie die Stimme der Nachbarin erkennen?    Heute ist Kunst, bleiben Sie zu Hause. Hans Ulrich Siegenthaler.   Das der Walliser Schwarznasuwollchragubikini nun mit dem Super Flex Stretch Kragen erhältlich ist  und in den Grössen s-xxl sim fitten habe ich Ihnen schon erzählt? Meine Finken mit Skischnallen für den neusten Sketch umgebaut worden und ja eben mit dem Backscratcher….!!! ? Als wir letzthin so kein Netzwerk und doch Strom hatten. Die Menschen wie kopflose Hühner durch unser autofreies von der Umwelt abgeschnittenes Tal und   Dorf irrten um ein Signal zu bekommen? Nun gut wenn man Termine und ja jemand dringen erreichen muss und gerade kein Walky Talky hat? Früher kommunizierte man noch mit Alphörnern ( Festnetz )  von Tal zu Tal oder eben einem Büchel ( das Natel der Alpen ) oder der Segenstab ( an Art Trichter ? ) Segensprüchli ? Ob die alten ritsch rätsch Credit Card Maschinen noch funktionieren? Barzahlung?  Und wie die Menschen sich in sich verlieren so ohne Netzanschluss ? Die Nabelschnur wurde getrennt und nun schaut weiter? Immer heiter ?    Vielleicht müsste eines der Dienstleistungsagenturen von uns so Workshops anbieten? Wird ja nicht besser? So selber eine Gondola bauen? Oder Feuer machen? Kerzen giessen? Alpenkommunikation? Mit Hörnern ? Man kann ja auch mit Schnur und Dose? Oder auch Pfeil und Bogen und sich danach aufessen? Man weiss ja nie wie lange die Strasse gesperrt ist? Gut darüber macht man jetzt wirklich keine Witze?  Gut dann halt wieder Hängebrüste? Gerade ist mir eine Frau auf einem Einhorn begegnet welche ihre Brust als Lasso brauchte um den flüchtenden Wolf…..! Äu nid guet ? Ein Pärchen beim Joggen.

Sommelier Matthew Kaner—former SommTV host and current wine correspondent for Men's Journal—joins us to discuss the unique characteristics of the world's best sparkling wines and how they can play a starring role … starting with Italy. While Emilia-Romagna might be best known for cars and food—and Venice for Gondolas—both serve as home base for Italy's most famous apertif-friendly wines.

Tech companies today are building bigger and bigger campuses. Think about Google's sprawling complex in Mountain View, Facebook's expansive headquarters in Menlo Park, and Amazon's new HQ2 in Arlington, VA. These are not just workplaces; they are mini-cities, pulsating with thousands of employees every day. Just trying to get around campus becomes a rather daunting task and that's a problem that Jeral Poskey, founder of Swyft Cities, thinks about a lot:Swyft Cities was founded in 2019 by some Google Alums, behind the real estate and transportation programs for Google Campuses! The problem they were trying to solve? How do you move massive amounts of people in an increasingly growing campus?Jeral envisions a future where getting around tech campuses and cityscapes is as seamless as hopping on a ski lift, but with the urban flair of downtown gondola rides.Swift Cities isn't just about easing commutes; it's about transforming how we interact with our urban environments, making them more accessible, sustainable, and enjoyable. As Jeral puts it, it's about creating a 'Goldilocks density' of urban living, where communities thrive without the clutter and pollution of cars.Helpful links:Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-35-why-swim-when-you-can-fly/id1687567073?i=1000645351345TechCrunch Win & Pitchhttps://www.holmessolutions.com/whoosh/https://www.businessinsider.com/america-parking-lot-spaces-addiction-economy-housing-costs-inflation-2023-4Support the showThings Have Changed

Since hearing, “Pottery God” from Gabby & The Gondolas, it was clear this was a band to watch. The mix of sounds and honest lyrics were refreshing and compelling to listen to and it's clear there's more to come.   In this interview, Max and Curtis chat with Kyle Neveau, the band's founder. We talk about how Gabby came to be and the origin of this unique band name. We do a deep dive into their EP “Pollyanna” and the diverse sounds and stories that make it up. It's described as “a snapshot in time” and we go into what that means and the timeframe Kyle wanted to capture.   Kyle also talks about the move he made from San Clemente, California, to Knoxville, Tennessee, and his experiences over the last couple years. The episode wouldn't be complete without talking about the stealer cover art for “Pollyanna,” and we give a shoutout to the artist behind this amazing creation.   Opening the episode is an excerpt from the debut single “Pottery God” and closing out the show is the follow-up, “Steamed Rice.”

En: Giuseppe was nervous as he greeted Maria and Antonio at the Venice train station. It: Aveva un grande piano in mente, e aveva bisogno della loro aiuto. En: He had a grand plan in mind, and he needed their help. It: Sapevano che era una protesta d'amore per la sua ragazza, ma sapevano molto poco sugli specifici, e Giuseppe sarebbe stato impegnato a garantire che tutto andasse secondo i piani. En: They knew it was a love protest to his girlfriend, but they knew very little about the specifics, and Giuseppe would be busy making sure everything went to plan. It: Dopo aver preso un paio di gondole vicino al Ponte dei Sospiri, i quattro amici cominciarono ad addentrarsi nei canali della città. En: After taking a couple of gondolas near the Bridge of Sighs, the four friends began to delve into the city's canals. It: Giuseppe mostrava sempre di più il suo nervosismo mentre cercava di trovare il perfetto momento per esporre la sua proposta a Maria. En: Joseph showed his nervousness more and more as he tried to find the perfect moment to make his proposal to Mary. It: Antonio decise di distrarla, citando le cose interessanti che si potevano vedere intorno a loro, inclusi alcuni edifici affascinanti e le bellissime vedute che riflettevano sulla laguna. En: Antonio decided to distract her, mentioning the interesting things that could be seen around them, including some fascinating buildings and the beautiful views reflecting on the lagoon. It: Finalmente, Giuseppe decise di fare il grande passo. En: Finally, Giuseppe decided to take the plunge. It: Si fece coraggio e guardando negli occhi la sua amata Maria. En: He took courage and looked into the eyes of his beloved Maria. It: Le chiese di sposarlo. En: He asked her to marry him. It: Maria restò scioccata per qualche momento e quindi scoppiò in lacrime di felicità mentre rispondeva con un grande sì! En: Maria was shocked for a few moments and then burst into tears of happiness as she answered with a big yes! It: La coppia non poteva essere più felice, e l'emozione si trasmise lungo la gondola. En: The couple couldn't be happier, and the excitement rippled along the gondola. It: Antonio e Giuseppe propose un brindisi in onore della coppia, e bevvero un bicchiere di vino per festeggiare. En: Antonio and Giuseppe proposed a toast in honor of the couple, and they drank a glass of wine to celebrate. It: Sapevano che Maria e Giuseppe avevano una lunga vita insieme, e che avrebbero vissuto per sempre il loro amore qui, nello scenario così incredibile di Venezia. En: They knew that Maria and Giuseppe had a long life together, and that they would live their love forever here, in the incredible scenery of Venice. It: Poi, diamo un salto in avanti di alcuni mesi, quando Maria e Giuseppe si sposarono in una bellissima cerimonia in una chiesa della città. En: Then, let's jump forward a few months, when Mary and Joseph were married in a beautiful ceremony in a church in the city. It: Tutti i loro amici e familiari furono presenti per questo evento, compreso Antonio. En: All of their friends and family were present for this event, including Antonio. It: La coppia guardò fuori dalla finestra del loro hotel, sorridente e osservando le gondole che passavano, sapendo che avevano fatto la scelta giusta. En: The couple looked out their hotel window, smiling and watching the gondolas go by, knowing they had made the right choice. It: In quel momento, erano immersi in una felicità talmente grande che neanche la laguna di Venezia potrebbe contenere tutto quel sentimento. En: At that moment, they were immersed in such great happiness that not even the Venice lagoon could contain all that feeling. It: La loro vita insieme sarebbe stata emozionante, ma erano pronti ad affrontare ogni sfida insieme, come un perfetto team. En: Their life together would have been exciting, but they were ready to face any challenge together, as a perfect team.

To receive future pods as soon as they're live, please consider an upgrade to a paid subscription.WhoDaren Cole, President of Leitner-Poma of AmericaRecorded onNovember 10, 2022About Leitner-Poma of AmericaHere's the website boilerplate:Leitner-Poma of America offers a complete line of cable transport systems, including surface lifts, chairlifts, gondolas, MiniMetro® urban transport, trams, inclined elevators, and industrial trams.And this, which makes me go cross-eyed:Leitner-Poma of America, Inc. is a North American subsidiary of Poma S.A., a corporation with headquarters in Voreppe, France and a sister company of Leitner AG, a corporation with headquarters in Sterzing, Italy. Leitner–Poma of America engineers, manufactures, installs and services all types of ropeway systems for the ski industry, amusement parks, and urban transport.Cole and I sort through all of this on the podcast. What you need to understand though is that Leitner-Poma is basically one half of the U.S. ski-lift industry. The company also owns Skytrac, which only builds fixed-grip lifts. The other half of the industry is Doppelmayr, though saying “half” is not exactly correct: Doppelmayr claims more market share than Leitner-Poma. Other companies also claim a handful of lift projects most years - MND is building Waterville Valley's new six-pack, for example, and Partek is building the new Sandy quad at Saddleback.Why I interviewed himThe Storm is built around a very specific ethos: that machines are good, and that we should allow them to transport us to mountaintops. I respect and admire Uphill Bro. If I lived in the mountains, perhaps I would be him. But I do not and I am not. I am a tourist. Always and everywhere. I want to arrive to an organized experience. Uphilling is too much work, too much gear, too much risk for my coddled city soul.And so I ride lifts, and I've very specifically focused this newsletter and podcast on the world of lift-served skiing. This is the disconnect between 99 percent of skiers and 99 percent of ski writers. The former live in cities and suburbs and ski Seven Springs three to eight days per year and take a weeklong trip to Park City in February. The latter live in ski towns and hunt the novel by trade, normalizing the fringe. And while I enjoy the occasional Assault Mission recap of the skin up Mount Tahoe Grizzly Ridge, I don't really care (though I do enjoy following - and highly recommend - the WFG on Twitter or simpleskiing.com).What I care about is The Machine: how is this sprawling, tangled world of lift-served skiing continuously morphing into the wintertime realms of the 21st century, in which a relatively unchanging number of ski areas must accommodate a megapass-driven increase in skiers armed with rectangular megaphones capable of instantly broadcasting #LiftFails to Planet Earth's 5 billion internet users? How will an industry still spinning a not-immaterial number of Borvig, Hall, Riblet, and Yan lifts that pre-date the invention of written language modernize without bankrupting the hundreds of family-owned ski areas that still dot the continent? How far can technology push these simple but essential machines, and how high can that technology push their pricetags? How far can ski areas tap them to suck skiers out of the base before they multiply, Midwest cityhill-style, like ants across the mountain and create something more dangerous than congested liftlines – congested, and perilous, trails?This podcast does not really answer any of those questions, though all are recurring themes within The Storm. Instead, it acts as a primer on what is essentially one half of the U.S. ski industry: what is Leitner-Poma (and how, for God's sake, do you pronounce it)? What do they build, and where and how? Why are ski areas building so many lifts all of a sudden, and why are those projects encountering so many and so varied delays, from labor shortages to supply chain knots to permitting issues to locals rocking their pitchfork-and-bag-of-rotten-tomatoes NIMBY starter kits to town meetings? Is all this construction sustainable, and can Leitner-Poma and their main competitor, Doppelmayr, adapt to this demand and streamline their processes to forestall future construction delays?Lift design, construction, and installation is a fascinating, complicated world tucked into - and a fundamental component of - the fascinating, complicated world of lift-served skiing. And it is evolving as fast as skiing itself. Here's a peek inside.What we talked aboutThe wild and unexpected travel routes of an old-school salesman for Purgatory-Durango ski resort; working for Vail Associates in the Arrowhead/pre-Summit County days; Wild West days at Crested Butte; the insane, rapid evolution of the U.S. lift industry; the days when you could order a lift in August and have it spinning by Christmas; how Covid changed the lift game; when you take over a giant company just before a global pandemic; U.S.A.!; the legacies Leitner and Poma, and why the companies merged in 2000; Grand Junction as old-school ski hub and why it's a great place for manufacturing; how the Leitner-Poma subsidiary-parent company relationship works between Europe and America; Direct Drive; U.S. America hates mass transit; “a chairlift or a gondola is essentially an electric vehicle”; what it will take to spur greater urban lift development in America; what Leitner-Poma of America (LPOA) builds in Grand Junction, and what's imported from Europe; why LPOA bought Skytrac; expansion time; why the fixed-grip lift persists in our era of bigger-faster-better; how long can America's antique lift fleet last?; what may finally push independent ski areas rocking ancient Halls and Riblets to upgrade; a record year for LPOA; the changing culture around chairlift permits; breaking down the delays in Jackson Hole's Thunder lift as a mirror for lift-installation delays around the country; why haul ropes aren't made in America, and whether they could be; “at the end of the day, I own those delays”; building a better supply chain; are two-year lift builds the future?; labor shortages and building a better place to work; examining the lifts that are on time and why; building the Palisades Tahoe Base-to-Base Gondola; the differences between building on an all-new liftline versus building a replacement lift; how LPOA, the ski area, and the ski area planner work together to decide which lifts to put where; the return of the high-speed quad; and designing a better 2023 lift-construction season.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewWe are witnessing one of the busiest lift-construction seasons in modern times: 66 new or relocated lifts are rising across North America, according to Lift Blog. Some monsters, too: new gondolas at Palisades Tahoe, Whistler, and Steamboat; eight-packs at Boyne Mountain and Sunday River; 13 high-speed six-packs. Here's an overview of the 25 (or 26, if you insist) lifts that Leitner-Poma of America and its subsidiary, fixed-grip specialists Skytrac, are building:Cole joined Leitner-Poma of America in 2014. The company built six lifts that year (Skytrac, then an independent company, built another six). Scaling up any business is challenging, but scaling up amidst a re-ordering of the global economy and geopolitical environment, and in the midst of a pandemic, is flipping the game to MAXIMUM CHALLENGE mode.The modern world is both miraculous and mysterious. Where does all this crap come from? An incomprehensible network of mines and foundries and factories and warehouses and tools and vehicles and fuel and laborers and engineers and designers transform the raw materials of planet Earth into medicine and chairs and soccer balls and televisions and Broncos and yard furniture and suitcases and Thule boxes and Hanukkah candles and plastic dinosaurs and Optimus Prime toys. And chairlifts. A book documenting that journey would be an atlas of modern life and this spinning ball it occupies. It would also expose the enormous risks and faults in this impossibly far-flung system, and how a haul rope spun out of a European factory can impact construction on a lift rising up a Wyoming mountainside.Questions I wish I'd askedCole said that LPOA had re-sourced all the materials it had been getting in China to U.S. suppliers. I should have followed up to get a clearer understanding of why the company pulled out of China, and which parts had been flowing from that country.What I got wrong* In our discussion of urban gondola networks and whether we could ever see one in the United States, I pointed to how well existing systems had worked in “South America, Central America, and Mexico.” While such networks exist throughout South America (in Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela), and Mexico, none yet exist in Central America, as far as I can tell. While such systems have been proposed for Panama and Honduras, the one that appears closest to approval is an 8.9-kilometer, 11-station network in Guatemala City that would be built by Doppelmayr.* I stated that only seven of New York's 51 ski areas ran high-speed chairlifts. The correct number is eight: Belleayre (1), Windham (4), Hunter (3), Gore (2), Whiteface (1), Holiday Valley (4), Bristol (2), and Holimont (1).* I pronounced the name of the company as “Lee-tner-Poma” several times throughout the interview. I actually butchered it so bad that I re-recorded Cole's introduction – during which I included the name four times – after we spoke. Sorry dudes.Podcast NotesCole, in discussing his time with what was then known as “Vail Associates,” referred to the “Arrowhead days.” This is a reference to what is now the Arrowhead section of Beaver Creek, but was for a short time in the 1980s and ‘90s a separate ski area. Here's the 1988 trailmap:The modern Beaver Creek retains some of the old trailnames on what tends to be a very empty part of the resort:Additional thoughts on urban gondolasIt took about four seconds from the invention of the chairlift for engineers to realize they could attach a little house to the overhead cable instead of a chair. Tada: the gondola. Let's go skiing.But a gondola, it turns out, is a pretty efficient means of transit just about anywhere. It just took the world a while to realize it. Since 2014, La Paz, the high-altitude (12,000 feet!) Bolivian capital city, has built a massive gondola network stringing together its far-flung districts:While Mi Teleférico – as the system is known – was not the world's first urban gondola system, it is the first to consist solely of cable cars – other systems complement trains or buses. It is also the longest and most extensive. And it is getting longer – at full buildout, the system could consist of 11 lines and 30 stations. The only thing more astonishing than the speed with which this network has materialized is how incredibly inexpensive it has been to build: gondolaproject.com puts the total cost of the 11-line network at around $1.4 billion. For comparison's sake, New York City's three-station expansion of the Q subway line, which opened in 2017, ran $4.5 billion.Gondolas are relatively cheap, efficient, environmentally friendly, and insanely easy to build compared to new roads or rails. Which of course means U.S. Americans are terrified of them. It's true that the nation, as a whole, is allergic to mass transit, preferring to tool around in 18-wheel-drive F-950s. Fighting anything new is the U.S. American way (where were these NIMBYs when we were punching interstate highways through city centers in the 1950s?). But generations raised in the backs of minivans seem especially horrified by gondolas. The hysteria around the proposed Little Cottonwoods gondola – which would substantially mitigate atrocious powder-day and weekend traffic on a road that probably never should have been built to begin with – is indicative of U.S. American reaction toward non-ski gondolas in general. Everywhere such systems – or even simple, two-station lines – are proposed, they meet instant and widespread resistance.There are practical reasons why the U.S. has not yet developed an urban gondola network: most of our cities are too sprawling to tie together with anything other than surface transportation (i.e. buses). La Paz, the Bolivian model city cited above, is hilly and tight, laced with narrow webs of centuries-old roads that would be difficult to widen. But there are places such systems would make sense, either as standalone networks or as complements to existing train-and-bus lines: Chicago, Portland (Oregon), New York City, many college towns. A forthcoming gondola connecting a Paris suburb to the city's metro, soaring over a “hellish carscape” of highways, demonstrates the potential here.Any such proposal in U.S. America, however, will have to overcome the reflexive opposition that will attend it. In Utah, Little Cottonwood gondola proponents are fighting a basket of idiotic arguments ranging from aesthetic concerns over the height of the towers (as though a car-choked paved road is not atrocious) to indignance over taxpayer funding for the machine (as though tax dollars don't build roads) to warped arguments that mass transit is somehow elitist (instead insisting that we all need personal vehicles equipped with $1,000 sets of winter tires). It's all a little pathetic. And that's for a simple, three-station line way up in the mountains. Just wait until some Portland resident launches a Save Our Cats campaign because a rider in a passing gondola car might glimpse Fluffy pissing in her litterbox.I'm cynical, but Cole, fortunately, is far more optimistic and diplomatic, suggesting that it will really only take one successful instance of a non-ski, non-tourist-attraction gondola for the notion to take hold in America.
