Send us a textSydney Petersen's meteoric rise in the trail running world is a testament to what happens when natural talent meets mountain passion. From walking on to Colorado State University's team to signing a professional contract with Brooks Trail Runners in just one competitive season, her journey exemplifies the beautiful transition many athletes experience when moving from track to trails.Growing up in the mountain town of Crested Butte gave Sydney a natural affinity for vertical terrain. Despite starting competitive running relatively late, she developed steadily through college under coaches who recognized her potential. But it wasn't until tackling the iconic Imogene Pass Run after graduation that she discovered her true calling. Without specific training for the longer distance, Sydney had what she describes as "a spiritual experience" during that race, realizing her body might be better suited for mountains than tracks.What makes Sydney's approach refreshing is her "beginner mindset." Rather than feeling intimidated when lining up against world-class athletes at events like the US Mountain Running Championships, she focuses on enjoying the experience and removing self-imposed limitations. This mental framework allowed her to race confidently against established stars like Grayson Murphy, even leading portions of championship races in her debut season.Her 2024 plans include returning to Broken Arrow with improved tactical awareness, tackling the US Mountain Running Championships at Sunapee, and venturing to Europe for Golden Trail Series races including the legendary Sierre-Zinal. Sydney balances ambitious racing goals with thoughtful training through Gunnison's snowy winters, incorporating skiing and creative workouts while focusing on improving technical downhill skills to complement her natural climbing prowess.Listen in for insights on transitioning between running disciplines, maintaining confidence among elite competition, and finding inspiration from athletes who balance competitive excellence with community contribution. Sydney's story reminds us that sometimes the most beautiful athletic journeys happen when we follow the terrain that speaks to our hearts.Follow Sydney on IG - @sydneypetersen33Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Pod on IG - @steepstuff_podThis episode is brought to you by Ultimate Direction !

Send us a textMeet the architect behind American trail running's most influential collegiate program. Josh Eberly, head coach of Western Colorado University's trail running team, has created something truly unique in the running world: the only dedicated collegiate trail running program in the United States.What began as a small experiment has evolved into a powerhouse that's reshaping how young runners transition from high school competition to mountain athletics. Through his decade of leadership, Eberly has mentored some of the biggest names in American trail running—Cole Campbell, Kieran Nay, Brian Whitfield, and others who've gone on to professional careers with teams like Adidas Terrex.But what makes Western's program special isn't just its elite output. Eberly has created an inclusive environment where athletes of all abilities can thrive, united by their love of mountains and trails rather than strictly performance metrics. "It's not all about creating the next professional," he explains. "We have athletes with different goals and ambitions. They love the work ethic, they love the trails, they love the mountains."The program blends structured training with adventure, taking athletes to iconic locations like the Grand Canyon, Leadville's 14ers, and the San Juan Mountains. These experiences reinforce why many chose trail running over traditional track programs—connection with nature and the joy of exploration. With support from Adidas Terrex providing gear and opportunities, Western's athletes can focus on developing as both runners and humans.As trail running grows in popularity, Western's unique model raises fascinating questions about the future of collegiate athletics. Could we see more universities developing similar programs? For now, Eberly continues refining his vision, balancing his own competitive career while guiding the next generation of mountain athletes in the high-altitude playground of Gunnison, Colorado.Follow Josh on IG - @runsleepdesign Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow The Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @runsleepdesign Check out Ultimate Direction for all your hydration solutions needs, use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart ! 

#737 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/737 Presented By: Togiak River Lodge, Yellowstone Teton Territory,  On DeMark Lodge, Pescador on the Fly Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors What if your next fly fishing trip required hiking your gear a mile into a canyon, floating through whitewater, and casting big bugs at canyon walls? Would you do it for a shot at dry fly takes? Today, we're heading deep into the Gunnison Gorge Wilderness with John Radle, former guide and now general manager at Bauer Reels. John shares what it takes to run this iconic stretch of water during the famous salmonfly hatch, how to scout for trout by looking at water splashes on canyon walls, and what makes the Gunnison rainbow so unique. We'll also break down reel design from a guy who worked where Porsche engineering meets fly fishing, the difference between sealed and open drag systems, and why balance matters more than you think when picking the right reel for your rod. Plus, John shares his favorite drift boats, tips for surviving the desert heat, and what makes Simms gear a standout in fly fishing. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/737    

Gunnison Copper SVP- Operations Robert Winton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the ongoing construction progress at the fully permitted Johnson Camp Mine in southeast Arizona. Speaking with Proactive, Winton confirmed that construction activities are on schedule, with the company expecting to produce copper cathode by Q3 2025. Mining of mineralized material officially began in January 2025, and the extracted material is currently being stockpiled in preparation for the completion of the leach pad. The Phase-1 leach pad has been successfully completed, while Phase-2 is advancing rapidly. Once Phase-2 is in place, the company will begin installing Nuton's advanced processing equipment, a key step toward optimizing sulfide and oxide mineralized material processing. Gunnison Copper has also completed the redesign and construction of a state-of-the-art laboratory for on-site material and process analysis. The lab is set to begin ramping up in April 2025 and will be fully commissioned once leach pad production is underway. Additionally, the company's HR team is making significant strides in building a strong workforce, with an emphasis on local hiring. Gunnison Copper has already brought in exceptional talent, reinforcing its commitment to both operational excellence and community engagement. With these developments, Gunnison Copper remains on track to deliver sustainable copper production, leveraging innovative technologies and a highly skilled team to drive success at Johnson Camp Mine. #proactiveinvestors #gunnisoncoppercorp #tsx #gcu #otcqb #gcumf #mining #johnsoncampmine GunnisonCopper #NutonTechnology #JohnsonCamp #CriticalMinerals #MadeInAmericaCopper #HeapLeaching #MiningUpdate #RioTintoPartnership #CopperSupplyChain #Q2MiningOutlook

They'd long known that they were more than mere machines. They could reason, remember, and teach. And also plan, The Robots Strike and Welcoming Committee by Harry Harrison. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Harry Harrison is best known for his character The Stainless Steel Rat which we featured on the podcast more than a year ago.

We will discover this robot rebellion on page 58, The Robots Strike by Harry Harrison…Our second story was published earlier in Harrison's career. If you didn't know better you would swear that Harrison didn't write it because in the October 1957 issue of Fantastic Universe magazine our story is credited to Felix Boyd. Harrison used the pen name Felix Boyd three times and we've already narrated one of the others, The Robot Who Wanted to Know.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Dick Purcell makes his debut on the podcast today. Purcell authored six published stories in 1955 and 1956. His name might ring a bell, Dick Purcell appeared in more than 70 TV shows and movies in the 1930s and 1940s, but that was a different Dick Purcell. The author was born in 1908, the actor in 1905.

Matt Harward's story is a bit of an anomaly. In spite of finding himself in the punk rock world at a young age, Matt never got involved in the drug or alcohol scene. Married at a young age, he did his best to provide for his wife and young son. Then anxiety set in and mix that with the counter culture popularity of his band, he found himself on his way to prison. Serving a 0 to 5 sentence, he describes some of the crazy parts of prison life. Soon, he finds himself in a privileged section and is introduced to Captain Your Story, the lifestyle model I have the privileged of guiding every Monday inside CUCF in Gunnison. Matt describes the positive effect it had on himself and the guys he lived with and how it continues to guide him and his family as he has gained parole and is living a good life.

Last year, Becca Steinbrecher broke a foothold while climbing in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and took a 30-foot fall onto a ledge. It was only a couple of months later that Becca woke up and learned what had happened to her that day, including the heroic and miraculous search and rescue operation that navigated a thorny web of very tough decisions in order to get her out of the Black Canyon and to a hospital. Becca recounts the events of that fateful as they were told to her, and shares what her experience has been like living with a traumatic brain injury, and ultimately returning back to the sport she loves. But first, some lighter fare as your curmudgeonly podcast hosts go back for round two of ‘Mudgeon Mania.

Jim Hancock is one of the finest people you'll ever meet and one of the hardest working, too! I've know Jimmy a very long time, from Aspen of course, where he started working for the Aspen Ski Company in 1977. He worked in many fields for them: snowmaker, powder guide, instructor, race director, and by 1981 he'd proven himself to take on enormous responsibility when he became World Cup Chief of Course and ultimately the Chief of Race. He shined brightly. The team he assembled to prepare the slope for the high speed downhill and tech events for the best skiers in the world became his trusted family, and when anything was needed they dove in head first. He was beloved by all and they anointed him as their Pope. Jimmy is also embedded with hunting and fishing, and for the last 30 years has been an elk hunting guide every fall. He's an adventurer at heart and doesn't fear the unknown. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a narrow, daunting canyon with walls that stretch 2500 skyward. The river at its floor falls steeply and in some sections form giant rapids with the ability to flip rafts at the beat of a heart. But, too, it's the home of the most amazingly prized rainbow and brown trout that have never seen the pressure that most rivers know too well. Many years ago Hancock saw something that few thought possible, fishing it by raft, and then sharing it with those that love to dare in the pursuit of great fishing in God's country. His operation, Gunnison River Rats just sold to Elk Mountain Expeditions in Aspen, Colorado but he is still a guide taking multiple trips a summer down there. On today's podcast we cover the forging life of Jim Hancock!

Parley Dutson tells his story from inside the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison Utah. Thanks to the UDC for allowing us access to hear how Parley, and many others, are working to change their direction and perspective preparing them for the time they will be released. He was born and raised in a religious community called Colorado City. Finding himself an outcast, he discovered “the world”. Going from a strict religious world to the total freedoms of life didn't work well for him. After two years of running and gunning, he committed a horrible act that was completely against his nature that sent him to prison for a very long time. He tells of the anguish he feels for what he did and how in spite of that, has found value in education and self-improvement.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/572 Presented By: Northern Rockies Adventures, Visit Helena, MT, Skwala, TroutRoutes  Ready to experience the thrill of sight fishing for redfish? Would you like to visit one of the most natural and diverse barrier islands in the world? We've got the Bay Flats Lodge crew on the podcast to share some tips on sight fishing for redfish and what makes this part of the Texas coast so special. Today you will hear from six of the most passionate guides in Texas and the tips they use to catch redfish by sight. You'll find out how to cast in the wind and why you need to practice your backcast cast. Show Notes with Bay Flats Lodge Crew on Sight Fishing For Redfish.  1:43 - The Bay Flats Lodge specializes in boutique fly fishing experiences, particularly in the unique landscape of the Texas coast, offering access to vast marshlands, creeks, and backcountry areas. The Guides of Bay Flats Lodge Capt. Dylan Murley 5:23 - Dylan is from Bastrop, Texas. His journey into guiding was initially sparked by fishing trips with family and friends along the Texas coast. Transitioning to guiding in South Padre and eventually joining the team in Sea Drift, Dylan emphasizes the diverse and captivating nature of the fishery in this area. Tip: Dylan emphasizes the importance of polarized sunglasses for spotting fish and advises beginners to focus on looking through the water rather than just at the surface. Capt. Matt Lough 7:55 - Matt, a native Texan from East Texas, discovered fly fishing at a young age and has been pursuing his passion ever since. While he initially focused on trout fishing, he transitioned to guiding for redfish about three months ago and has found a deep love for sight fishing. "I love trout fishing, but once I discovered the redfish game, it's just something I never want to leave." Capt. Tyler Brown 9:20 - Tyler is originally from Kerrville, Texas, where he grew up fishing in the headwaters of the Guadalupe River. Despite not yet catching a redfish in the Guadalupe River, he expresses interest in doing so, considering it a future goal. Capt. Dane Scott 10:19 - Dane is originally from Pueblo, Colorado, where he grew up fishing in western Colorado due to his grandfather owning a fly shop. Six years ago, he made his way to the coast and immediately fell in love with fishing for redfish, eventually becoming a guide in the area for the past four years. Capt. Mike Gaglianese 11:30 - Mike is originally from upstate New Y ork, specifically Utica, and later moved to Gunnison, Colorado, where he met Dane. They became roommates and began guiding together. Now in their fourth year on the coast, Mike shares his love for coastal living, enjoying the seasonal split between the coast and the mountains. Fly Fishing at Bay Flats Lodge  12:38 - Chris says that the Bay Flats Lodge offers fly fishing opportunities year-round, with no closed season. The unique location, driven by tides and winds, ensures consistent fishing opportunities regardless of the season, with diverse areas protected by mangroves and creeks. 14:40 - Tyler explains that while they primarily catch slot-sized redfish ranging from 20 to 28 inches, occasionally they encounter larger fish over 30 inches. 18:48 - One crucial tip Dane offers is to understand the directions given by the guide and to be mindful of the length of the fly rod when estimating distances. Additionally, he recommends using an 8 weight rod for optimal performance in their fishing conditions. 22:57 - Dylan and Dane discuss the influence of wind on their fishing conditions. While calm periods can be conducive to fishing, excessively glassy water can make fish skittish. They emphasize the importance of adapting to varying wind conditions. 31:38 - Chris discusses the importance of immediate line retrieval upon casting to maintain tension and minimize slack. He notes that sight fishing allows anglers to observe most takes, particularly in clear water, but acknowledges Dane's preference for fishing in dirtier water where redfish use camouflage to approach their prey unnoticed. Choosing the Right Fly for Redfish 37:18 - The crew notes the importance of fly selection based on the fishing conditions, including depth, bottom structure, and the behavior of the fish on a particular day. While hungry redfish may take almost any fly, weight, pattern, and color nuances become crucial considerations. 40:18 - Dane suggests using a bead chain instead of dumbbell eyes. He also likes a mix of natural and synthetic materials in fly tying. He prefers feather flies for their slower sink rate and resistance to water saturation. Sight Fishing For Redfish: Casting Tips 45:00 - When casting into strong winds, double hauling and maintaining line speed are crucial. Practice short, accurate shots and be adaptable with rod angles to adjust to wind direction. Additionally, consider utilizing roll casting techniques for effective casting in challenging conditions. 47:00 - Mastering the back cast can be crucial, especially for casting off to the right side of the boat quickly without spooking fish. It's important to fish the fly, not the fly line, and to practice a slow pickup to avoid spooking fish when recasting. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/572
