Podcasts about Lune

Dans ce nouvel Entretien, le format d'interview du Crayon, nous recevons :▶ David Elbaz : Astrophysicien, directeur de recherche au CEA, auteur de La plus belle ruse de la lumière et du Syndrome de la tache rose.Dans cet échange, il répond à ces questions :

Lorsque les astronautes américains ont marché sur la Lune, ils n'ont pas seulement rapporté des roches. Ils y ont aussi laissé plusieurs instruments scientifiques. Parmi eux, des sortes de miroirs qui servent encore aujourd'hui.Mais leur fonction est particulière : ce ne sont pas de simples miroirs. Il s'agit de « rétro-réflecteurs », constitués de nombreux petits prismes capables de renvoyer un rayon lumineux exactement dans la direction d'où il vient.Les missions Apollo 11, Apollo 14 et Apollo 15 ont déposé ce type de dispositif sur la surface lunaire. Le principe est simple : depuis la Terre, des observatoires envoient de très puissantes impulsions laser vers la Lune. Une infime partie de cette lumière atteint les réflecteurs, puis revient vers notre planète.En chronométrant avec une extrême précision le temps mis par la lumière pour effectuer cet aller-retour, les scientifiques peuvent calculer la distance entre la Terre et la Lune.Comme la lumière voyage à environ 300 000 kilomètres par seconde, l'aller-retour dure environ 2,5 secondes. Aujourd'hui, cette méthode, appelée « télémétrie laser lunaire », permet de mesurer la distance Terre-Lune avec une précision remarquable, de l'ordre de quelques millimètres dans les meilleures conditions.Ces mesures ont permis une découverte importante : la Lune s'éloigne progressivement de la Terre, d'environ 3,8 centimètres par an.Ce phénomène est lié aux marées. L'attraction de la Lune déforme légèrement les océans terrestres. Comme la Terre tourne plus vite que la Lune ne tourne autour d'elle, une partie de l'énergie de rotation terrestre est progressivement transférée à l'orbite lunaire. Résultat : la rotation de notre planète ralentit très légèrement, tandis que la Lune s'éloigne.Ces réflecteurs servent aussi à tester certaines théories fondamentales de la physique, notamment la relativité générale d'Einstein. En étudiant précisément le mouvement de la Lune, les chercheurs peuvent vérifier si la gravitation se comporte exactement comme le prédit la théorie.Autre fait étonnant : les scientifiques utilisent toujours ces équipements plus d'un demi-siècle après leur installation. Aucun astronaute n'est évidemment allé les entretenir.Et les Américains ne sont pas les seuls à avoir installé de tels dispositifs. Les missions soviétiques Lunokhod ont elles aussi déposé des réflecteurs sur la Lune.Ainsi, ces petits panneaux abandonnés sur le sol lunaire constituent l'une des expériences les plus durables du programme Apollo : depuis les années 1960 et 1970, ils permettent encore de mesurer, depuis la Terre, les mouvements de notre satellite naturel avec une précision extraordinaire.

Accès à l'eau potable, hygiène, soins de santé : les jeunes Haïtiens détenus dans le centre de rééducation pour mineurs en conflit avec la loi à Delmas, dans la capitale, vivent dans des conditions de plus en plus mauvaises, alerte une ONG locale. Le Collectif Défenseurs Plus déplore la dégradation alarmante des conditions de détention des personnes au Cermicol, le centre de rééducation des mineurs en conflit avec la loi, situé à Delmas, un arrondissement de Port-au-Prince. Dans une étude couvrant la période de mars à juin 2026, le collectif décrit une dégradation généralisée des conditions d'hébergement, de l'accès à l'eau potable, à l'hygiène et aux soins de santé. Au micro de Chloé Cadoux, Antonal Mortimi, le fondateur de Défenseurs Plus alerte sur une situation qui ne cesse de s'aggraver.   Lune de miel sécuritaire entre la Colombie et l'Équateur  L'épouse et une des filles de « Fito » (Adolfo Macias à l'état civil), leader d'un des principaux groupes criminels d'Équateur, les Choneros, ont été arrêtées en Colombie. Elles ont été capturées par la police colombienne, a annoncé ce dimanche (27 septembre 2026) le président colombien Abelardo de la Espriella. Des agents équatoriens et des agents états-uniens du FBI ont participé à l'opération. Un symbole de la coopération sécuritaire renouvelée entre les trois pays, sous la bannière du Bouclier des Amériques créée en mars 2026 par Washington pour regrouper les gouvernements de droite et d'extrême-droite du continent.   Honduras : les gangs continuent de défier l'État Dans ce pays d'Amérique centrale, considéré comme l'un des plus dangereux de la région, les groupes criminels appelés les « maras » sévissent. Extorsion, trafic de drogue ou d'armes, leurs activités criminelles aboutissent aussi à de nombreux homicides. Même si la lutte contre l'insécurité est au cœur des priorités du nouveau gouvernement nationaliste du président Nasry Asfura, dans le pays, les Honduriens vivent toujours avec la peur des gangs et de la violence qui ne diminue pas. Reportage sur place, dans un quartier de la capitale, de la correspondante de RFI à Tegucigalpa, Marie Griffon.   Dans le journal des Outre-mer La Guyane renouvelait ses deux sénateurs ce dimanche, et la surprise du jour, explique Serge Massau d'Outre-mer La 1ère, c'est l'élection de Ryan Persaud, 32 ans. Il était jusqu'ici simple conseiller municipal de la commune de Mana.

Comment devient-on astronaute? Comment fait-on pour aller dans l'espace, et à quoi ressemble une journée à bord d'une station spatiale? Et est-ce qu'un jour, les enfants qui rêvent aujourd'hui de devenir astronautes pourront vraiment partir dans l'espace? Dans ce CQFD Junior, les enfants de l'établissement primaire EPS Corsier-sur-Vevey, posent toutes leurs questions à Chloé Carrière, alias Galactic Chloé: du métier d'astronaute aux études et à l'entraînement, en passant par les fusées, la Lune, Mars et la vie en apesanteur. Au programme aussi: des archives pour remonter l'histoire de la conquête spatiale, un quiz et un jeu pour préparer la valise d'un futur astronaute.

Début septembre, lors du premier sommet mondial du spatial organisé à Paris, le Sommet international sur l'Espace, le président Macron a donné son feu vert pour sept vols de transport de marchandises en orbite. L'entreprise européenne chargée de cette aventure l'an prochain s'appelle Atmos Space Cargo.  L'originalité d'Atmos, et de son partenaire luxembourgeois Space Cargo Unlimited, est de proposer du transport de capsules transformées en laboratoires au-dessus de la Terre.  Grâce à l'essor des recherches sans gravité, en l'absence de pesanteur, certains mélanges de matières ou certaines fabrications deviennent non seulement possibles, mais aussi plus rapides et plus performants que sur le sol terrien.  Ainsi, les clients d'Atmos comme les entreprises pharmaceutiques, les instituts de recherche, les industriels agroalimentaires, chimiques, militaires, récupéreront le fruit de leurs travaux à une date souhaitée. La livraison aura lieu dans la région souhaitée par le client grâce au parachute de la capsule.  Amérissage, puis transfert en bateau jusqu'au rivage   Cette enveloppe de protection, sorte de grosse bouée, entoure la capsule cargo. Elle est capable de se poser sur terre comme en mer. Benjamin Kawak, le vice-président des ventes d'Atmos Space Cargo, explique l'invention de cette capsule Phoenix. Un engin autonome capable de résister aux chaleurs et aux pressions de l'espace : « Avec une charge utile qui peut rester dans notre capsule Phoenix des mois entiers autour de la Terre. Nous sommes aujourd'hui une entreprise européenne présente en France, en Allemagne et en Pologne. Phoenix est un véhicule autonome. On est clairement à la veille d'une transformation industrielle spatiale avec des transports de marchandises depuis l'espace vers la Terre. L'orbite devient donc un lieu de recherche, de production et d'innovation. » L'espace privatisé D'ici 2050, l'espace en orbite basse, entre 160 et 2 000 km, au-dessus de la Terre sera de plus en plus privatisé. Les projets de reconquête de la Lune nous le prouvent, tout comme les avancées militaires, industrielles, touristiques ou financières.  Et la Chine bâtira peut-être l'avenir de l'Afrique spatiale. Pour Brian Kalafatian, expert à l'Institut français de stratégie et de défense, les puissances États-Unis, Chine, Inde, Russie ou Europe auront de plus en plus recours au transport, voire au stockage de marchandises en orbite basse :    « J'aime faire cette analogie qui me semble intéressante : celle du groupe aéronaval. Cet ensemble de bâtiments qui accompagnent un porte-avions. Qu'il s'agisse de l'espace ou de la mer, deux espaces inhospitaliers, l'enjeu pour les personnels est de pouvoir se maintenir pour assurer les opérations. Or, il faut approvisionner les équipages mais également pouvoir réparer ou faire de la maintenance des matériels. Le transport de marchandises dans l'espace est essentiel pour toutes les grandes puissances. L'Europe cherche plutôt la souveraineté. La Chine, dans l'idée d'une continuité dans ses nouvelles routes économiques de la soie, avec un maillage de ponts, de voies ferrées, de routes, de ports, d'aéroports à travers le monde, pourrait ramener dans son giron des pays en pleine expansion commerciale et industrielle. Je pense par exemple aux pays d'Afrique. »  L'orbite basse fait baisser les coûts  Avec l'essor du transport en orbite basse, des petites et moyennes entreprises peuvent aujourd'hui recourir à des satellites d'observation. C'est par exemple le cas dans l'agriculture ou, et on le sait moins, dans la finance. La vue d'en haut sur les flux routiers ou maritimes, permet d'étudier les échanges entre continents et ainsi, d'élaborer des stratégies d'investissements boursiers.

Bonjour, et merci d'avoir écouté cet épisode.Bon… 1969 fut quand même une année compliquée à traiter, notamment à cause de la qualité parfois très moyenne des extraits et de la difficulté à trouver certaines archives en français.J'aurais aimé pouvoir mettre davantage de choses sur les manifestations de plus en plus importantes aux États-Unis contre la guerre du Vietnam, par exemple, mais il faut parfois savoir faire des choix… et surtout composer avec ce qu'on arrive à trouver !Bon, par contre, j'ai définitivement abandonné l'idée de faire tenir une année en 80 minutes. Ce sera donc simplement le titre du podcast… et certainement plus un objectif !

Jellis Craig chief executive Andrew McCann has been a real estate agent for almost 30 years, and he reckons "this is one of the worst markets" he's ever seen. "It's very hard for vendors to adjust to price changes, and it's very hard sometimes for agents to pick up the pace of change," he says. "And because of that, it's a challenging environment to navigate." On this week's episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten sits down with the real estate boss to find out how he is navigating the property downturn, the effect it's having on staff and whether he expects it to change any time soon. This podcast was sponsored by Ripple.

Le principal obstacle à une grande ville sur la Lune ne serait peut-être ni l'énergie, ni les fusées, mais une ressource beaucoup plus banale : l'eau.En février, Elon Musk annonçait vouloir faire d'une « ville capable de croître d'elle-même » sur la Lune la nouvelle priorité de SpaceX, avec l'ambition d'avancer en moins de dix ans.Deux astrophysiciens, Martin Elvis et Jonathan McDowell, ont donc essayé de déterminer quelle population notre satellite pourrait réellement supporter. Leur étude, publiée dans Frontiers in Space Technologies, se concentre sur l'eau gelée présente dans les cratères polaires qui restent constamment dans l'ombre.Les chercheurs partent volontairement d'une hypothèse très favorable : un milliard de tonnes d'eau disponibles. C'est environ trente fois plus que les meilleures estimations actuelles. Sans recyclage, une ville d'un million d'habitants épuiserait cette réserve en seulement quelques années.Même avec un système capable de recycler 98 % de l'eau, soit le niveau atteint à bord de la Station spatiale internationale, cette ville ne tiendrait qu'un peu plus d'un siècle. Avec les quantités de glace actuellement jugées plus plausibles, la durée serait évidemment beaucoup plus courte. Le problème vient de l'échelle. Une population permanente doit boire, se laver et surtout produire sa nourriture. Quelques pourcents de pertes deviennent alors considérables lorsqu'ils concernent des centaines de milliers de personnes pendant des décennies.Cela ne signifie pas que toute installation lunaire soit impossible. Selon les auteurs, un village de mille habitants, voire une petite ville de dix mille personnes, pourrait fonctionner pendant plusieurs siècles avec un recyclage très efficace. Et nos mesures restent incomplètes : des réserves supplémentaires pourraient exister plus profondément dans le sol lunaire. Le calcul ne condamne donc pas la colonisation de la Lune. Il en réduit surtout l'échelle avec les technologies et les ressources connues aujourd'hui. Avant de construire une métropole lunaire capable de grandir seule, il faudra d'abord répondre à une question beaucoup plus terrestre : comment lui fournir durablement de l'eau ?Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/space-technologies/articles/10.3389/frspt.2026.1894104/full Hébergé par Acast.

Cela peut sembler incroyable, mais notre satellite est en train de rétrécir.Très lentement, heureusement : au cours des dernières centaines de millions d'années, le diamètre de la Lune aurait diminué d'environ 50 mètres.Mais comment un astre de près de 3 500 kilomètres de diamètre peut-il rapetisser ?Pour le comprendre, il faut remonter à sa jeunesse.Lorsque la Lune s'est formée, il y a environ 4,5 milliards d'années, son intérieur était extrêmement chaud. Cette chaleur provenait notamment des gigantesques collisions qui ont accompagné sa formation, mais également de la désintégration d'éléments radioactifs présents dans ses roches.Depuis, la Lune évacue progressivement cette chaleur dans l'espace.Et en refroidissant, les matériaux qui composent son intérieur se contractent.Imaginez une boule métallique chauffée à très haute température. Lorsqu'elle refroidit, elle diminue légèrement de volume.La Lune fait à peu près la même chose.Mais il existe un problème : sa croûte est solide et rigide.Lorsque l'intérieur se contracte, la surface doit donc s'adapter à un volume légèrement plus petit. Elle se comprime, se fracture et forme des sortes de petites falaises appelées « escarpements de failles ».La NASA compare volontiers le phénomène à un raisin qui se transforme en raisin sec : lorsque l'intérieur perd du volume, la peau se ride.À une différence près : la peau du raisin est souple, alors que la croûte lunaire est cassante.Elle se brise donc.Les sondes spatiales ont photographié des milliers de ces failles à la surface de la Lune, certaines étant géologiquement très jeunes.Et le phénomène semble continuer aujourd'hui.La contraction provoque en effet des tensions dans la croûte. Lorsqu'une faille cède brutalement, cela peut provoquer un « tremblement de Lune », l'équivalent lunaire d'un séisme.Les sismomètres déposés par les astronautes des missions Apollo en avaient déjà enregistré.La gravité terrestre peut elle aussi accentuer les contraintes exercées sur ces failles en déformant légèrement la Lune.Rassurez-vous cependant : notre satellite ne va pas finir par disparaître.Une diminution de quelques dizaines de mètres sur plusieurs centaines de millions d'années est infime à l'échelle d'un astre.Mais elle révèle quelque chose de fascinant : contrairement à l'image d'un monde complètement mort et immobile, la Lune continue encore aujourd'hui à évoluer, à se contracter… et même à trembler.

When it comes to the rise of artificial intelligence in the workplace, Sam Nickless, the chief executive of law firm Gilbert + Tobin, has some useful advice for lawyers and executives in the early or middle stages of their careers. "The first level of advice is don’t freak out about it, but don’t ignore it either," he says. "Get really good at using it, but also be very attuned to the things that it doesn’t do and that you can do over and above it." On this week's episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten finds out what the top lawyer thinks of AI disruption, how it will affect the legal profession and the best way lawyers can protect their jobs.

Un site offshore au large des côtes sénégalaises pour lancer des fusées dans l'espace… Le projet est à l'étude, révèle sur RFI le directeur général de l'Agence sénégalaise d'études spatiales (Ases). Depuis mercredi 9 septembre, Maram Kairé est à Paris où il participe au premier Sommet international sur l'espace. En 2024, cet astronome avait déjà réussi à faire lancer un premier satellite sénégalais. Alors qu'aujourd'hui, celui-ci veut que son pays construise les siens et qu'il puisse un jour les lancer depuis son propre territoire, Maram Kairé répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier depuis le Grand Palais, à Paris. RFI : Que répondez-vous à ceux qui disent que les 500 millions de dollars investis tous les ans en Afrique dans le spatial seraient mieux utilisés dans la construction de routes, d'écoles et d'hôpitaux ? Maram Kairé : Déjà, vous parlez de construction de routes, il s'agit de l'aménagement du territoire et la meilleure façon d'aménager nos territoires, aujourd'hui, c'est de prendre de la hauteur, c'est-à-dire être depuis l'espace, avoir une vue sur ces territoires. Donc, l'utilisation du spatial se justifie pleinement pour la construction de routes et le monitoring après les travaux. Deuxièmement, quand il s'agit d'hôpitaux, c'est la santé, c'est une priorité pour l'Afrique, certes, mais aujourd'hui on sait que le développement de la santé passe par le développement de la télémédecine. Et investir dans le spatial, c'est une réponse concrète à l'utilisation de la télémédecine pour se départir des problèmes de distance que nous avons aujourd'hui sur le continent. Donc, c'est juste une question de perspective. Le spatial aide à résoudre toutes ces questions et nous devons peut-être renforcer même l'investissement. Et pour l'amélioration des rendements agricoles, pour l'anticipation des sécheresses et des inondations, ça peut servir ? Tout à fait. Aujourd'hui, on parle d'agriculture intelligente. Je donne le cas du Sénégal. Nous sommes en train de mettre en œuvre un projet avec le soutien de la Banque ouest-africaine de développement. Ce projet a pour motivation le développement de l'agriculture intelligente partout sur le territoire, la gestion de la transhumance. Aujourd'hui, quand vous surveillez le bétail, il faut une vue globale également, et la surveillance donc des sols. Donc, toutes ces questions liées à l'agriculture trouvent une réponse pertinente dans l'utilisation des satellites. Les capteurs nous permettent de détecter la qualité des plantes, la qualité des sols et ne plus attendre la saison des pluies qui est aujourd'hui très éphémère, moins de trois mois pour certaines régions, mais plutôt anticiper grâce à une bonne météorologie qui dépend aujourd'hui des données satellitaires. Alors, vous parlez de la connexion à Internet, notamment pour les centres de santé et la télémédecine, mais pour cela, on a déjà les câbles sous-marins, non ? Oui, mais les câbles sous-marins n'arrivent pas à toutes les zones et, aujourd'hui, on a pas mal d'endroits qu'on appelle des zones blanches où vous ne pouvez pas avoir cette connectivité. Le satellite permet d'accéder, en tout cas, à ces dernières zones reculées où la connexion câblée ne peut pas arriver. Donc, aujourd'hui, c'est complémentaire. Nous devons faire en sorte que la distribution, donc, de la connexion soit équitable et que chaque citoyen, où que ce soit dans le territoire national, puisse avoir accès à ces services. Et ça, c'est le satellite qui nous permet de compléter les manquements liés à la connexion câblée. Il y a déjà une trentaine de pays africains qui ont fait lancer dans l'espace une soixantaine de satellites civils, mais ça coûte cher, non seulement pour payer les sociétés étrangères qui lancent ces satellites, mais aussi pour exploiter les données. Pourquoi les pays africains n'arrivent-ils pas à mutualiser toutes ces dépenses ? C'est la dynamique dans laquelle nous sommes. Aujourd'hui, l'Afrique réagit de cette façon en créant l'Agence spatiale africaine qui permet de coordonner les ressources, les synergies. Ça ne remplace pas du tout les efforts nationaux. Mais ce qu'il faut savoir, c'est que l'Afrique a pris le train en marche depuis pas très longtemps. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes non seulement dans la phase de structuration au niveau national, mais au niveau continental, les collaborations se multiplient. Beaucoup de projets satellitaires sont développés entre plusieurs États. Je cite l'exemple aujourd'hui d'un projet sur lequel nous sommes au Sénégal avec le Rwanda, le Kenya et le Ghana, et donc ça montre en fait cette dynamique de mutualiser les efforts et les ressources. Et ça, je pense que c'est ce qui va continuer avec le démarrage des activités de l'Agence spatiale africaine. Maram Kairé, vous rentrez de Pékin et de nombreux satellites africains sont financés par la Chine notamment, pas seulement d'ailleurs, par la Russie, par les États-Unis, par l'Europe. Est-ce à dire que l'Afrique est sous leur dépendance technologique, financière ? Non, l'Afrique n'a aucune ambition d'être sous la dépendance de qui que ce soit dans le domaine du spatial, c'est une question de souveraineté. Chaque État est libre de choisir ses partenaires. Aujourd'hui, le spatial est un chantier extrêmement vaste. Nous avons aujourd'hui rejoint les accords Artemis avec les États-Unis pour le retour de l'homme sur la Lune. Nous avons rejoint le projet de station orbitale lunaire de la Chine. C'est pour dire qu'il y a de la place pour tout le monde et nous travaillons juste avec les meilleurs. Ce que nous souhaitons aujourd'hui, c'est de pouvoir faire de notre pays une nation spatiale et nous travaillons avec les meilleurs partenaires, où qu'ils soient. Aujourd'hui, les satellites africains sont lancés depuis l'étranger, depuis Kourou par exemple en Guyane française. Quand est-ce que l'Afrique va pouvoir se doter de sa propre base de lancement ? Il y a eu des initiatives dans le passé et il faut rappeler, aujourd'hui, qu'une base a déjà existé au Kenya, par exemple, avec le soutien de l'Agence spatiale italienne. Nous sommes dans la dynamique de multiplier les bases au niveau du continent africain. Djibouti est sur un projet et la réflexion est menée également au niveau du Sénégal actuellement. Il faut être sur la côte avec une façade sur l'océan et, aujourd'hui, le Sénégal est en train donc d'étudier cette possibilité. Djibouti étudie et le Kenya est en train de réactiver sa base avec le soutien de l'Agence spatiale italienne. Donc, cette ambition, elle est là, et je pense que ça ne devrait pas tarder, que l'Afrique puisse lancer depuis son propre continent. Et vous avez trouvé déjà un site entre Dakar et Saint-Louis ? Pour le moment, c'est confidentiel. Nous sommes dans la phase de réflexion et nous espérons en tout cas pouvoir déterminer un site de lancement, pourquoi pas offshore.

The Zoom transcript (click “transcript” above for the Substack transcript, which will zoom to any point in the video when you click on the associated text block; timestamps below DO NOT MATCH THE VIDEO)00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:56.000Stuart Winchester: Welcome to Storm. It is September 9th, 2026 on a Wednesday. I've got a really great show for you today. We are going to visit with Loon President and General Manager, Brian Norton, who has been on the show before.00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:04.000Stuart Winchester: But we are going to have him on to talk about the Blackridge expansion that Loon announced last week.00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.000Stuart Winchester: There's actually a couple of expansion items in the news today, and I want to hit on those first before we get to Brian.00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:27.000Stuart Winchester: Altera today confirmed a couple of things we already knew in their 2026 to 27 capital plan. So unlike Vale who tends to release all their lifts and expansions and projects at once, Vale or Altera lets them leak out.00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:41.000Stuart Winchester: and then officially announces them sometime later. So, we had a pretty good idea these were coming. The first one will be up at Mont Tremblant, and Tremblant is…00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.000Stuart Winchester: If you've been there, it's…00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:55.000Stuart Winchester: an IntraWest legacy, so it has one of these really nice walkable villages of the sort that I'm always pushing for, and it has really great ski terrain. Busiest… it's…00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:11.000Stuart Winchester: Traditionally, Intrawest had the three busiest ski areas in Canada. They had, uh, Whistler was number one, obviously. Number two was Tremblant, and number three, surprisingly, was Blue Mountain, Ontario, which we covered on in the podcast.00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.000Stuart Winchester: Pretty recently, but I want to…00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.000Stuart Winchester: show you something here. So this is why it's cool to watch, because you can see…00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:31.000Stuart Winchester: some of these things on YouTube or Substack if you're watching the podcast. So this is Tremblant's timber expansion that they're gonna open for 27 to 28. They're gonna have a new.00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:46.000Stuart Winchester: quad, high-speed quad, coming up to the Timber Summit with 8 new trails over here. Uh, and that's gonna be… let's see, they gave an acreage on that, 62 acres. So sometimes it's hard when you see these things, especially if you don't know the mountain.00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:57.000Stuart Winchester: to really know where it fits in. So this one, here's from the top, you can see the new trails, the timber trails, coming down here off of the new.00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:09.000Stuart Winchester: high-speed quad that'll come out of the Versant-Soleil base. And then here is the existing, if you're watching, here's the existing lift that comes up to the current Tremblant Summit.00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:19.000Stuart Winchester: And you can see that right here. So the new expansion will go bloop right up here, and we'll have some new trails over there. And then Altera also announced.00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:32.000Stuart Winchester: or not really announced, but reconfirmed, that will be when the Club Med is open, so that all-inclusive experience will be there for Tremblant. So, nice expansion coming for Tremblant. Obviously.00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:42.000Stuart Winchester: Altera has had a big expansion ongoing at Deer Valley for years and years. So, Deer Valley, prior to 2023.00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.000Stuart Winchester: was really just Bald Mountain.00:04:46.000 --> 00:05:02.000Stuart Winchester: On over to Empire. Uh, and then here's the front side, and then this little baldy peak was here. But over the past three seasons, they've really blown the place out and added thousands and thousands of acres. Uh, Deer Valley, believe it or not, is now the…00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:18.000Stuart Winchester: Sixth largest ski area in America. And, and they're opening 200 more acres this year. Hale Peak will be another high speed quad. I don't have a vertical on Hale Peak, but they did confirm today that Hale Peak will be.00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:29.000Stuart Winchester: 200 acres, so Deer Valley will now total 4,500 acres. It looks, it sounds pretty big, but right next door to it is Park City, which.00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:45.000Stuart Winchester: Combined with the historic canyons is 7,300 acres. That's the largest ski area in the United States. So those are a couple of the expansions that we have coming up. We'll talk about another one in a little bit with Loon. And the reason I wanna talk about expansions with you.00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.000Stuart Winchester: Is… is I… I…00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:58.000Stuart Winchester: I write about this over and over again, but sometimes when I write an article, it fritters off into the wilderness, and I'm not able to…00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:12.000Stuart Winchester: it doesn't have the staying power necessarily where people might find it sometime later. So I want to revisit some of these points that I made in the past about expansions and how important they are. So I wrote this article a few years ago.00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.000Stuart Winchester: And…00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.000Stuart Winchester: I was looking at…00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:34.000Stuart Winchester: So everyone always gets hung up on this active ski ski areas number. And the NSA has tracked this for years and years. And here's the numbers you can see on the screen if you're watching in 1991 to 92 season.00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:46.000Stuart Winchester: The United States had 546 active ski areas. As of 2023 to 24, it had 486. The number for this season was right around 490.00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000Stuart Winchester: So, oftentimes.00:06:49.000 --> 00:07:04.000Stuart Winchester: We will see articles usually written by folks who are not ski media, just general media, and they'll write about this number and they'll find this statistic and they'll point to the declining number of ski areas and say, skiing is dying. Climate change is killing skiing.00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:17.000Stuart Winchester: But there's actually a much more nuanced story behind that. So I pulled this number last year when I was reading an article from The Motley Fool, which is an investor site that I use. I love The Motley Fool.00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:24.000Stuart Winchester: But it was talking about MTN stock, which a lot of you know is the stock ticker for Vail Resorts.00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:33.000Stuart Winchester: And the Motley Fool article pointed out that in 1992, and this was their bear case, their case against buying MTN stock.00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:44.000Stuart Winchester: During… I'm gonna quote here, the Motley Fool. During the 1992 ski season, there were 546 ski areas operating in the United States, compared to 486 today. This article's from 2025.00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:57.000Stuart Winchester: Supply, says the fool, is flat to shrinking. On the demand side, 3 of the top 5 busiest ski seasons on record occurred each of the last 3 years. Demand is up. So, they were trying to make the point that.00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:07.000Stuart Winchester: Vail Resorts had a very valuable commodity, because the number of ski areas was shrinking. I said, wait a second, this doesn't really make sense, because…00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.000Stuart Winchester: How are you having so many fewer?00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:25.000Stuart Winchester: ski areas, and so many more skier visits? Well, the answer is pretty simple. We have a lot more ski terrain. In fact, I did an analysis in response to that Fool article.00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.000Stuart Winchester: And I found, just examining…00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.000Stuart Winchester: The 11 western ski states.00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:40.000Stuart Winchester: that, minus Alaska, that those 11 states had 54,598 more acres of terrain.00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:50.000Stuart Winchester: available at their ski areas, their lift service ski areas, than they had in 1994. So, yes, there are fewer ski areas.00:08:50.000 --> 00:09:00.000Stuart Winchester: now than there were in the early 90s. There were 546 in 92, 486 today, but there's a lot more terrain, and so what ended up happening was.00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:08.000Stuart Winchester: The ski areas that were successful expanded. It was as simple as that. And when I did this analysis.00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.000Stuart Winchester: I looked at…00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:24.000Stuart Winchester: I looked at 92 ski areas that I had the data for from 1992, and they happen to be some of the biggest ski areas in the West. And I compared their acreage in 1994 according to a guidebook I had from that date that I'd kept.00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:30.000Stuart Winchester: 107,671 acres was the total for these ski areas.00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:45.000Stuart Winchester: Fast forward to 2025, when I did this analysis, those same 92 ski areas had grown from 107,671 acres to 159,754 acres.00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:55.000Stuart Winchester: Then I added in a few ski areas that had opened since then, places like Tamarack in Idaho, Blacktail in Montana. There hasn't been a lot, but there's been a few.00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:11.000Stuart Winchester: And then I subtracted the lost ski areas. The biggest of them was Ski Rio in New Mexico. But for the most part, the ski areas that closed were small surface tow operations and they were in the region of a much larger area and most likely failed in large part.00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:29.000Stuart Winchester: Because they couldn't compete with that full service area, which could offer folks not only beginner terrain, but a progression up to more interesting terrain. So, there's a lot more ski terrain than there used to be, and to give you an idea of how much terrain 54,598 acres is.00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:36.000Stuart Winchester: Currently in Colorado, the whole state of Colorado, which has a quarter of the ski terrain in the entire United States.00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:42.000Stuart Winchester: there's 45,552 acres of terrain. So we've added the equivalent of another Colorado.00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.000Stuart Winchester: Now, there's a caveat to that.00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.000Stuart Winchester: The ski industry has been able to grow by expansion.00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:58.000Stuart Winchester: But it hasn't necessarily been able to grow where it needs to grow, and I made another point, a related point, in another recent article that I wrote.00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:11.000Stuart Winchester: for… about the U.S. Forest Service, and how most of the ski areas in the western United States are built on U.S. Forest Service land. They're leased from the U.S. Forest Service under 40-year terms.00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:18.000Stuart Winchester: However, following the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, those permits.00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:33.000Stuart Winchester: got almost impossible to obtain new permits. The Forest Service had lots and lots of ski areas proposed, but they were all shut down. Everyone except for Beaver Creek and then Blacktail in 1998 were shut down with.00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:51.000Stuart Winchester: court challenges that came out of NEPA in 1969. So, while we have more terrain, skiable terrain, than we had in 1994, the reason it often feels as though the mountains are overcrowded and insufficiently distributed.00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:57.000Stuart Winchester: is because they are. Because we've only been able to expand the ski areas where they were.00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:10.000Stuart Winchester: rather than building new ski areas where people move to. Look at snowy regions like Washington and Oregon, some of the snowiest ski areas in the country. A lot of them still don't have snowmaking because they get so much snow there.00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:22.000Stuart Winchester: Washington in 1980 had 4.1 million people. Today it has 8.2 million people, double the population, but fewer ski areas and some larger.00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:37.000Stuart Winchester: Stevens Pass has certainly grown, Crystal has grown, Mission Ridge has grown. Oregon, same thing, went from 2.6 million people in 1980 to 4.3 million today, but has fewer ski areas now than it did in the 1980s. So…00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:48.000Stuart Winchester: For better or worse, we are stuck right now with growth through expansion. So, I want to get to an expansion. First, I want to tell you about one of my awesome partners.00:12:48.000 --> 00:13:00.000Stuart Winchester: I've been working with Bonfire Collective for a long time, and if you run a ski area or an outdoor brand, you should consider hooking up with them as well.00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:10.000Stuart Winchester: Bonfire Collective is a fractional marketing team that collaborates with ski areas and outdoor brands to give your marketing a fresh perspective and better storytelling.00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:16.000Stuart Winchester: Bonfire can help you rethink your approach in ways that can turbocharge your business.00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:31.000Stuart Winchester: Bonfire Collective, for example, took on the marketing at one New Hampshire sea area and doubled revenue in just three years. And when the storm was ready to invest in its first ever digital marketing campaign last year, I worked with Bonfire to make it happen.00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:36.000Stuart Winchester: I could not be happier with the results. I think you will love working with them too.00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.000Stuart Winchester: To get started, you will want to talk to Eric over at Bonfire Collective.00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:56.000Stuart Winchester: Eric was a co-founder of Bluebird Backcountry Colorado, the first human powered ski area. He knows the ski business, as many of you know from that episode of the Storm Skiing Podcast that he appeared on last year. Visit bonfirecollective.com or I will be happy.00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:03.000Stuart Winchester: to make that connection for you. Alright, with that, let's go to our guest for today.00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.000Stuart Winchester: And…00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.000Stuart Winchester: Here he is, Mr. Brian Norton. Brian, what an awesome background! Where are you at?00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.000brian norton: Uh, I'm in my office, but that's hanging outside my office, so…00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:24.000Stuart Winchester: Oh, okay, cool, I thought maybe you were in the, uh, the kink barn with the, uh…00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.000Stuart Winchester: With that, with the cool groomer behind you.00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:44.000Stuart Winchester: All right, well, let me give you a proper introduction here. Uh, my guest today is president and general manager of Loon Mountain, New Hampshire since 2022. Loon claims New Hampshire's tallest vertical drop at 2,190 feet.00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:58.000Stuart Winchester: served by 13 lifts. Last week, Loon announced the 272-acre Black Ridge expansion that, when added to the resort's existing 403-acre footprint.00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:08.000Stuart Winchester: will make Lune the largest ski area in New Hampshire, and the sixth largest ski area in the eastern United States at 675 acres.00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:23.000Stuart Winchester: He began his Loon career in 2001 as a Lyft attendant, and now he's running the place. He is Brian Norton. Brian, welcome back to the storm. Always good to see what's new at Loon, because there is always something new at Loon. How you doing today, Brian?00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:29.000brian norton: I'm doing awesome. It's sweatshirt weather right now, so we're getting closer.00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:33.000Stuart Winchester: Nice. Did you do a snowmaking test yet, or is that Sunday River's ter.00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.000brian norton: No, we have not done that yet. Sunday will probably beat us to that one.00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:54.000Stuart Winchester: All right, let's talk about Black Ridge. This is really an amazing project, and I've been pretty vocal and frank over the years about what I saw as Loon's biggest shortcoming, which was not enough real expert terrain, and by that I really meant glades, wild terrain.00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.000Stuart Winchester: Talk to us about Black Ridge, what it is, and how it's going to change Loon.00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:14.000brian norton: Yeah, I mean, it's a pivotal project for the ski resort. As you mentioned, it's almost doubling the size of the ski resort. For those not familiar with it, it's this kind of secret shoulder glade skiing. It's been there.00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:30.000brian norton: It was developed over time by some locals just kind of going out there, you know, maybe not necessarily following the rules, certainly not at our approval, but people have been skiing there. I mean, I think the first time I went skiing over there, I was in college, like 2001, and it was like you had to kind of find your way over there. You had to commit to it.00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:42.000brian norton: beautiful, um, beautiful area. It's like a big catcher's mitt off the side of the ski resort that just holds snow really well, and there's a lot of, um, it's a mile and a quarter.00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:51.000brian norton: hike, uh, across a ridgeline. You can actually ski or skate most of it. There's a few sections where you have to, you know, unclick and walk and…00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:09.000brian norton: um, you just get this incredible glade scheme that brings you right back to the bottom of North Peak, so it's like this full circle, you're way the heck out there, there's a couple viewpoints where you can stand at this cliff and just look back at the ski resort and look into the town of Lincoln, you're like, whoa, I am way out there, but a completely different view than, you know, most people would.00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:23.000brian norton: would ever get to see from Loon. And so, yeah, we've been working on it for a couple years with the Forest Service, trying to, like, wrap that into our special use permit. And, um, yeah, super happy to have that announcement, kind of. Like I said, planning.00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:28.000brian norton: For a long time, but awesome to have that hit the newsstands the other day.00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:34.000Stuart Winchester: So help us understand Loon's Forest Service footprint. This is a conversation I'm accustomed to having with.00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:53.000Stuart Winchester: your partners who run western ski areas. There's very few, just 7 in New England, that touch Forest Service land. My understanding is that Loon is not entirely on Forest Service land. I believe it's Kissing Cousins Lift. You're riding up, and you see a sign, welcome to the White Mountains National Forest. So, where are those boundaries at?00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.000Stuart Winchester: at Loon.00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:05.000brian norton: Yeah, it's really just the bottom. I mean, like, pretty much if you can hit a golf ball there, you're on private land from a base area, hit it up, and then everything above there is forest service land, so…00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah.00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.000brian norton: Yeah, it's the top 95% of the skewers work.00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.000Stuart Winchester: So how?00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:16.000Stuart Winchester: Right, so Loon went through quite a process as I remember it back in the 90s to open up South Peak and there was…00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:22.000Stuart Winchester: a lot of resistance to that locally, and ultimately, you got it opened.00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.000Stuart Winchester: was…00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.000Stuart Winchester: if you look at Black Ridge, it's… there's no new lift, right? It's essentially…00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.000Stuart Winchester: Glade thinning. So, so I want to talk about the process for that in a minute, but.00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:45.000Stuart Winchester: What was the process like of working with the Forest Service? Did they seem much more amenable and does the local community seem much more amenable?00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:54.000Stuart Winchester: to this given the small actual environmental impact? And was that a consideration in deciding how to develop this terrain?00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:10.000brian norton: I mean, it was definitely a consideration for us as we think about, you know, growing the ski resort sustainably. I think the, you know, and our partnership with the Forest Service is a really great one. I hear, you know, different stories from around the industry or around the country.00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:26.000brian norton: I just can't speak highly enough of our team here and the relationship that we have with them. And, the fact that this was kind of already skiing, the fact that it was super low impact, we weren't ever going to put a lift or a lodge or some sort of, you know, driving snow cats over there. We're not even doing any of that.00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:31.000brian norton: really, so it was a small lift, I think, to bring this kind of.00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:43.000brian norton: thing that people were skiing into the permit boundary, which really, you know, there's some work to clean it up and to create slightly better access, mostly for our patrol team to react out there.00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.000Stuart Winchester: Mm-hmm.00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.000brian norton: But this is, um…00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.000brian norton: It's a small lift to bring our…00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000brian norton: Services, so that we can go, you know, in the past.00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.000brian norton: Someone would get hurt, someone would get lost ‘cause they thought they knew where they were going.00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.000Stuart Winchester: Yep.00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:14.000brian norton: technically, we're supposed to call fish and game, and they're supposed to go rescue them. A lot of times, we helped with that. So, by bringing this into the permit boundary, we're allowed to help manage it. So, um, this is really a win-win for everyone. It's a win-win for the skiers, it's a win-win for the Forest Service, because now we can actually manage something that wasn'.00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:02.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:16.000brian norton: That's a great opportunity for us.00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:28.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, it's going to be tremendous terrain. You know, another big difference between working in the East and the West is sometimes if you want to open 500 acres of glades in the West, you just drop a rope.00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:39.000Stuart Winchester: Uh, in the east, there tends to be a lot of undergrowth. Now, I don't know if that's the case at Loon, because maybe you have some old growth there, where the canopy is, is, has, you know, shut out some of that little stuff.00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:45.000Stuart Winchester: 200 and what is it, 267 acres? That's a lot of acres to clear.00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:55.000Stuart Winchester: What does it look like in there, and what is the… what is the labor lift gonna be like to glade that out and make it so that you don't need 4 feet of snow to ski it?00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:08.000brian norton: Um, we'll talk about snow in a minute, but in terms of glading, you get across the ridgeline, and you get to this… it's not the high point, like, the actual peak of the mountain, but the high point of the ridgeline.00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:23.000brian norton: And you kind of drop in there, and then it just funnels out both directions. And from that point, it's all hardwoods. And it's just… it's really open. You can kind of ski wherever you want. Now, we're gonna manage it slightly better, so there's better waypoint finding, you know, kind of…00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:42.000brian norton: more organized corridors. There's a river, uh, a stream valley that is between what I would call, you know, Black Ridge proper and, like, the North Peak Glades and Walking Boss, um, that you don't want to end up in, so that's kind of the part of the land that, you know, we're going to try to manage away from, and.00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:53.000brian norton: kind of cut that, you know, the extent of it, kind of clear those glades a little more, so that it's obvious, like, no, no, no, I want to go this way, or I want to go that way, so you all come back out to the… to.00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:57.000brian norton: But it's not a heavy lift to cut a lot out there.00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.000Stuart Winchester: So I.00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:13.000Stuart Winchester: So as far as snow goes, you mentioned a, a little catcher's mitt and along North Peak, and there are some terrific glades in lower New England. Stratton, I think has really, really excellent glades. Magic Mountain has some excellent glades. They're in a little bit different.00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:33.000Stuart Winchester: snow pocket, obviously, than you are, but also farther south. So, so talk to us, you know, Loon averages 160 inches of snow per year, but I don't know where you measure that, and I know that snow stays on different parts of the mountain in different ways, right? Because you can ski in New Hampshire in June on natural snow at Mount Washington and Tucks.00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.000Stuart Winchester: But…00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:39.000Stuart Winchester: That's not the case in most places. So, so talk to us about.00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:48.000Stuart Winchester: the snow in that area, and how often you think you'll realistically be able to offer that glade skiing experience in Black Ridge.00:22:48.000 --> 00:23:06.000brian norton: Yeah, I mean, I think it's gonna be… it's definitely a different experience, so we're gonna have different, um, opening protocols when that part of the mountain will open versus your traditional glade skiing, so it's gonna be a little more raw, a little more rugged, we're gonna be a little more free with opening it. Um, we're working through those kind of details with our patrol team right now.00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:23.000brian norton: Um, in terms of holding snow, predominant northeast wind here, everything cuts across the ski resort as you're looking at it, right to left, and guess what's far left? This, right? So, um, I'll tell you a funny story. We were walking over there with the Forest Service this.00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.000brian norton: Spring, and we're walking along the ridgeline.00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:38.000brian norton: And we're contemplating, like, how we get snowmobile access out there for our patrol team to, you know, manage this terrain in a reasonable amount of time to, like, respond to an incident. And we get to these two big boulders.00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:47.000brian norton: like, oh man, how are we gonna get a snowmobile through here? Like, it's… we can't get a machine all the way out here to move these boulders, what are we gonna do? And then it, like.00:23:47.000 --> 00:24:06.000brian norton: I don't remember seeing these boulders in the winter. That means there's 4 feet of snow here on this ridgeline, so it's like… it just… it's not the same as the rest of the ski resort when you think about, like, how that pocket holds snow and takes all the wind-deposited snow from the whole area and just stacks up in there, so it was a bit… it was eye-opening for us to be like.00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.000Stuart Winchester: Wow.00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.000Stuart Winchester: Right.00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:11.000brian norton: Wait a minute, we don't see these in the winter, and they're 4-foot boulders, so.00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:28.000Stuart Winchester: Oh, man, you're really making me want to get back in there. You know, I did not mention in the intro that Loon is owned by Boyne Resorts, one of the 11 ski areas in the Boyne family. And Boyne has done just a tremendous amount of work over the past decade, putting in new lifts and doing expansions.00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.000Stuart Winchester: In fact, I think…00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:42.000Stuart Winchester: the last 5 expansions in New England were all Boyne Mountains. It was Brackett Basin, Burnt Mountain, it was, uh, Merrill Hill at Sunday River, it was the little one you did at Loon the other… the other, uh, couple years ago, and… and.00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:54.000Stuart Winchester: Black Ridge, you know, the one that this most echoes for Sugarloaf fans, and Sugarloaf is far, far, far, far north, but it's worth going to, is… is they opened that several hundred acre.00:24:54.000 --> 00:25:04.000Stuart Winchester: terrain expansion of Brackett Basin back in 2011. They expanded it with Burnt Ridge a few years later, and it's all natural bladed. How much…00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.000Stuart Winchester: Did you…00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:21.000Stuart Winchester: did Loon and the team at Loon use Bracket Basin as an inspiration, either… either to see as, like, a proof of concept this'll work, or… or just to imagine a… a different way of, uh… of expanding the resort without necessarily having to spend.00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:28.000Stuart Winchester: you know, $20 million on a new lift. Just talk about it, if there's any relationship there, or, you know, learning how to manage it, etc.00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:51.000brian norton: A lot for me personally, and for the team here. I mean, I'm not the the people that have been out there developing that glade skiing probably aren't necessarily thinking about bracket basin, but 100%. That was the equivalent. That was, you know, I've referred to it through this whole planning process as our version of bracket basin. We've been in communication with the team up there about how they manage it, what their entrance looks like all of those things. So.00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah.00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.000brian norton: Yeah, it's our version of that, 100%.00:25:54.000 --> 00:26:12.000Stuart Winchester: And just from a liability point of view, it's funny, because I grew up in Michigan, and I've been skiing the Boyne Mountains there since the 90s, and I remember you weren't allowed in the trees, and that was a big no-no. So now here you have, fast forward 30 years, and they're developing these enormous glade skiing pockets, and obviously Jay Peak was a leader.00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.000Stuart Winchester: our early leader in that, in New England. But what has Boyne learned, do you think.00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:25.000Stuart Winchester: by operating Brackett Basin for the last 15 years, about liability and skiers' abilities to self-manage in terrain like that.00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:36.000brian norton: Yeah, I mean, Sugarloaf, they're Sugarloafers, right? So they're a slightly different clientele than we have here, so I'm sure we'll learn different things. I think the big thing is, you know.00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:30.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah.00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:50.000brian norton: clear messaging, and… and with this project, it's… it's very different. I said it earlier, it's different than the rest of the Glades here, so, um, you gotta know what you're doing, and it's gonna be messaged that way, but it's gonna be managed that way, too, and…00:26:50.000 --> 00:27:06.000brian norton: it's gonna pull people around the resort and move people around to places that, you know, it's a bit of a destination now. Camp 3 in North Peak was already a destination, and now you've got another, you know, 300 acres or so just past there that's serviced by the same portal, so…00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:15.000brian norton: yeah, I think our patrol team's gonna have a little bit of work cut out for them, but frankly, the guys and girls that work for our team that are gonna end up over there, like.00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.000brian norton: They… they're looking forward to that, so…00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.000Stuart Winchester: Alright, well, let's talk about access a little bit. I'll tell you…00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:39.000Stuart Winchester: That, or the listeners at least, people who haven't been there. So you access this expansion through the North Peak lift. It's a high speed quad built in 2004, 1500 vertical foot, 4,800 foot long. But the view off the top is an absolute showstopper. It's one of the best.00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:49.000Stuart Winchester: in New England. I just love it. Uh, my question for you, Brian, is Flight Path 2030, your… your Loon 2030 plan, essentially 10-year plan, published around 2020.00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:55.000Stuart Winchester: did consider an upgrade for the North Peak lift. Now, it's obviously not a very old lift.00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:10.000Stuart Winchester: But I would imagine that there may be some volume considerations as you look to expand the terrain available off this lift. So, A, am I right in seeing that you will be able to fully lap Black Ridge?00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:17.000Stuart Winchester: on the North Peak lift? And B, do you have thoughts on what might be next for North Peak lift?00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:26.000brian norton: Um, yes, you access it from the top of that lift. The entrance is 150 feet from the top of that lift, maybe, off of Whatcom House.00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, thank you.00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:45.000brian norton: the primary exit is slightly lower in elevation than North Peak. You come out onto Brookway Extension there, so if you really wanted to lap it, you'd probably unclick and go down there. More often than not, I think what people will do is they'll ski down Brookway, go up Seven Brothers and a gondola, and get back over there if they want to do it again.00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:28:46.000 --> 00:29:06.000brian norton: So, yeah, I mean, access is pretty strong. In terms of replacing North Peak, yes, that lift is on our planning process. It's probably equivalent to South Peak on any given day, or Lincoln Express, I should say. On any given day, I flip-flop which one's more important. You know, we did the Timbertown expansion, and we thought, oh, these people are over here.00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:03.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:22.000brian norton: maybe we should be focused on this lift, and now we're doing this thing over here, or maybe we should be focused on North Peak, and, um, I'll tell you that the RFID data that we, you know, 3, 4 years ago, we put RFID gates at North Peak, remote up mountain, you can't get to it without passing another gate, and everyone was kind of looking at us, like.00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:29.000brian norton: What are you doing that for? Data collection, 100%. The things we've learned about how people use that terrain have…00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.000Stuart Winchester: Right.00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:40.000brian norton: driven our snowmaking philosophy, our investment philosophy. Uh, it's… it's last winter that Lyft opened on day one and closed on day 151, I think it was, so it was open every day of the season, so…00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.000brian norton: Maybe today, if you're asking me, that one gets done before Lincoln Express.00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:48.000Stuart Winchester: And are you thinking a six-pack? One of those nice D-lines?00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.000brian norton: Yeah, I'm sure that's what it would be at a minimum, yeah.00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:56.000Stuart Winchester: Okay, do you like the bubbles, like the one you have at CANC and up at Sunday River?00:29:55.000 --> 00:30:17.000brian norton: The bubbles are awesome for all the reasons they're awesome, but there are some hidden challenges with them as well, particularly when they come into the terminal. They're aerodynamic when the chairs are on the line, but when they come into the terminal, if the wind's blowing the wrong way and the bubbles opening and the wind wants to shut it or vice versa.00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah.00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:26.000brian norton: Uh, there's a little give and take there. I… we'd probably end up with bubbles, I think, but, um, yeah, there are… it's not all… it's not all easy with them.00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.000Stuart Winchester: That's that.00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:34.000Stuart Winchester: It's Boyne style, right? I was surprised, actually, when I got out to Brighton, and the, uh… their new Sixer, their D-Line out there does not have bubbles. I was like, oh, this.00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:28.000brian norton: Yep.00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:42.000brian norton: Or footrests, or footrests, which is the only one that I think doesn't have footrests, and as a snowboarder, I appreciated that when I rode that.00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:36.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah.00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:52.000Stuart Winchester: Right, right, right. Yeah, well, the Utah guys don't want to bring the bar down anyway so So, you know, I always think of this expansions like this first, Brian, as a skier.00:30:52.000 --> 00:31:10.000Stuart Winchester: Unless as a customer or as someone, you know, doing a business, I'm really curious. Loon has already historically been the busiest skier in New Hampshire and the pub, the skier visits aren't public anymore. But I would imagine that's still the case. It is busy, busy, busy all the time. It is the idea here.00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:18.000Stuart Winchester: Is it to bring in more skiers, or is it to create more variety at a mountain that…00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:28.000Stuart Winchester: I really think has traditionally had the reputation as a good intermediates family mountain. To maybe start to nudge that a little bit more toward a…00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:40.000Stuart Winchester: uh, more of a Killington profile, where there's… where there's more than one kind of skier? Like, the whole family can have fun there. So is it… is it more skiers, or more terrain for the same amount of skiers to spread them out better?00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:46.000brian norton: Um, both, and I'll clarify more skiers, because, um.00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:58.000brian norton: as the ski resort develops, and as the town develops, we inch closer to destination ski resort instead of day ski resort. I think we're still a day ski resort, but we're working our way towards destination.00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:18.000brian norton: Um, and as you become a destination, your skier visits spread equally over the 7-day week, right? We're heavily skewed to weekends right now. We're not talking about more skiers on the weekends. We're already managing tickets and limiting sales to keep guest experience where we want it. I think we can have more visits mid-week, or early season, late season.00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:33.000brian norton: this will certainly help with that, but on your peak Saturday in January, like, no, we don't… we're… we're not having more skiers here. We're… we're happy with where we're at. Um, in terms of terrain, yeah, I mean, you and I talked about it, I think, the last time we were together talking about glade skiing here.00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:40.000brian norton: We need more of it. Variety of terrain, um, is important, and this is a huge step in the right direction.00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:48.000Stuart Winchester: So I think in New England, when you talk about more skiers, more capacity, reflectively, we think parking, but you have this interesting project going on.00:32:48.000 --> 00:33:05.000Stuart Winchester: Where a pulse gondola is set to leave from near the new Timbertown quad that you put in 2023, go over the river, uh, and land, not exactly in the town of Lincoln, but to service some resorts there. Uh, I thought that project was gonna open.00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:15.000Stuart Winchester: This winter, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Tell us about that Pulse Gondola, Brian, what you hope to achieve with it, and kind of where you're at with approvals and permits.00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:33.000brian norton: Um, yeah, me too. I was hoping it was gonna open this winter, too. Um, yeah, we've said with that project all along that we're not really in a rush, and we want to do it right. More importantly, we want to get buy-in from all the current stakeholders, and that's where the project, um, lives. It's a really unique thing where.00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:48.000brian norton: you've got three different parties that are involved, two different completely owned land, uh, landowners, plus Loon being the easement and holders on some of that land, and, um, just working with the town currently and trying to.00:33:48.000 --> 00:34:08.000brian norton: none of us have been through this. I can't think of another example where you've got so many different entities trying to get one project approval. I actually have a planning board meeting tonight, and we're on the docket. So if you're if you're not doing anything at 6 o'clock tonight, feel free to join the zoom. Yeah. So we're we're still working on that. We've gotten essentially approval on one side. And now we're working on the loon side.00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:23.000brian norton: our hope is that that project still comes through in the next year. It's unique in the sense that it doesn't need to happen, like, for day one of ski season. It can be built during the ski season, because it's not replacing something, it's a true add to the ski resort, so…00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:22.000Stuart Winchester: Right.00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:38.000brian norton: the Daubmeyer team that would do the lift is kind of excited that, you know, they have a project that they can work on out of cycle, keep their team busy year-round, have the electricians there when they'd otherwise, you know, not be doing anything, because the crew's still standing steel somewhere else, that kind of thing.00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, okay.00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:44.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, Boyne's had a lot of success doing those sorts of lifts at Big Sky, and it's amazing what.00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:59.000Stuart Winchester: Even if it's a low capacity, low use lift, like the one and only gondola or the lift that connects to the montage out there in Big Sky, it really gives the skiers a lot of freedom. And I think it really would make a big difference in being able to connect to the town. So let's talk about a lift.00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.000Stuart Winchester: That would not be easy.00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:18.000Stuart Winchester: Let's talk about that. Uh, the four passenger gondola you have, I believe it's the last four passenger Gandhi left in the east. It is a monster. This is a 1738 vertical foot lift, 6970.00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:30.000Stuart Winchester: foot long, uh, and recently Loon filed an application with the Forest Service to replace it, so tell us, Brian, what you want to do with the White Mountain Gondola.00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.000brian norton: Yeah, so, um…00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:44.000brian norton: a really cool old lift. You probably know better than me, but one of the oldest detachables in New England. It's one of the highest utilized lifts in Boyne's network.00:35:44.000 --> 00:36:00.000brian norton: around this 10-plus months out of the year, you know, between winter and summer. Uh, two years ago, I got a text message from our lift mechanic showing me the hour meeting that was 8675309. Um, it's nearing… it's nearing 100,000 hours now, so yeah, it's due for replacement.00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:10.000brian norton: Um, we filed some paperwork with the Forest Service to get in the queue. We're still working out the details of that project, that's why we haven't really addressed it publicly.00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:23.000brian norton: Try to figure out how it fits, where it goes. It will be a D-line Omega 10, you know, 10-person cabins. Boeing style, as you like to say, you know, we're gonna do it right. It's a pivotal lift for us.00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:20.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, okay.00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:29.000brian norton: the main base area that opens first and closes last, and, um, yeah, we want to make sure we do it right. So, we will.00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:48.000Stuart Winchester: One detail I thought was really cool in the permit, Brian, was, and obviously I'm not holding you to this, the permit is, you know, the application is the application, but this notion of moving the load terminal, it gets set 100 feet or 80 feet up the hill, away from the Octagon Lodge, I imagine that opens all kinds of possibilities for you.00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:52.000Stuart Winchester: Talk about what you have in mind there and how that would change just the whole flow of Loon.00:36:52.000 --> 00:37:02.000brian norton: Yeah, the problem is that the current lift is inside of a building, and the new one, you know, without tearing the building down, is not going to go inside of the same building, so…00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:57.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, thank you.00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:03.000Stuart Winchester: Right.00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:21.000brian norton: how do we handle that? And, you know, I'd say there's a couple options on the table. Some of them is, you know, partially modifying that building, putting the lift against it, and or the polar opposite of that is just pushing it into the hillside as far as you can, and, um, you know, using the building for something else, which we have some cool ideas for.00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:36.000brian norton: Um, this lift is gonna need parking. That's a big space constraint that we don't necessarily have. I mean, those cabins aren't small, and you're talking, you know, another Kank 8 size. Probably not that big, but close to Kank 8 size, you know, parking structure to park all the cabins in, and.00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:42.000brian norton: Is parking at the top? Is parking at the bottom? You know, how do we, uh… how does our… if we put it…00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:57.000brian norton: upslope, not in the building, how does our food and beverage team that uses that as their main, you know, mover up the mountain, get food and everything else up, how do they get their food to the Summit Cafe now in the winter? And so, there's a lot of challenges with that, and that's why we haven't, you know.00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:13.000brian norton: really detailed the project, because we're… I mean, just this morning, I was walking out there, driving stakes in the ground, like, trying to visualize, okay, if we did this, how would it work? How would that work? So, yeah, ongoing, um, super exciting project, and I can't wait till we have that nailed down, and we can really start.00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.000brian norton: Showing people what we're doing.00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:20.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, that would be huge, and maybe quiet at the Peanut Gallery, because I know a big storyline.00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:31.000Stuart Winchester: when the cant gate went in was, why'd they do that before the gondola? And I know there's a lot of reasons for that, but… and I love the cant gate, but I'm sure you heard those same narratives. You know.00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:40.000Stuart Winchester: Out with the old, I guess. Quick note, Brian, the little sister, a 1966 Hall double.00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:57.000Stuart Winchester: has taken its last ride. I just made this connection prepping for this podcast. That's actually an original lift from Loon's opening, right? So tell us about Little Sister. It was a small lift, a hall lift, but you took it out this summer. Why was it time to retire Little Sister?00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.000Stuart Winchester: And what are you doing with the lift, the chairs, the pieces, the parts?00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:07.000brian norton: Yeah, so, um, Old Lyft, um, couple things. One…00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.000brian norton: When we installed Seven Brothers.00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:21.000brian norton: the skiers really stopped using that lift, because… sorry, when we upgraded Seven Brothers Triple to the Seven Brothers Quad, which was the old Kank Quad and got rebuilt.00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:21.000Stuart Winchester: Mmhm.00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:37.000brian norton: the lap time off Seven Brothers was just as quick as Little Sister, but you got more vertical, and we had more uphill PPH. So, um, no one was really using it for skiing. We maintained it for tubing for a while, we got out of the tubing business.00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:56.000brian norton: Um, we'll maybe be back in the tubing business in the future, but not in that location. So, um, at the same time, it needed some maintenance work. Our friends at Cypress, one of the other Boyne properties, um, needed some spare parts to one of their lifts. We had them in the drive here at Little Sister, so…00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:13.000brian norton: Um, plus, in a base area that's crammed for space, when that thing eventually, you know, physically moves away, it'll be additional space, it'll open up skiing possibilities, it'll open up more space for our seasonal programs that are in that base area, or that part of the base area over there. Uh, in terms of what we're doing with the lift.00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:30.000brian norton: Um, towers are still standing right now, the terminals are still standing, we'll hopefully get that down next summer. The chairs were all auctioned off recently, we sold a few to employees, like myself, I bought one, I'll have that hanging on my porch at my house.00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:27.000Stuart Winchester: Nice.00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:44.000brian norton: Um, the rest of… I think we sold… there was 20, or there was 31 chairs… 30 or 31 chairs, and um, we sold some to employees. We're keeping 5 for spare parts, maybe future auction-type stuff. The rest of them…00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:50.000brian norton: were auctioned off to the public, and they're benefiting two incredible local charities, one, the Pemi Valley.00:40:51.000 --> 00:41:07.000brian norton: Uh, Upper Pemi Valley Historical Society, um, who's, you know, I saw some really cool historic stuff, check out their Instagram feed, there's some cool stuff about the Riverwalk Gondola, and then they just put a couple posts. Um, and then, uh, Lincoln Friends Iraq, which, you know, one of our purposes is making sure.00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah. Okay.00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:15.000brian norton: That we're connected to the community and doing everything we can for the youth of the community, and so that's what we're doing with the money, and we're proud to say that.00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:30.000Stuart Winchester: So don't go looking for Little Sister Lift this year. It is gone. That leaves you with one haul lift, a 1968 East Basin. I didn't see a map for that gondola proposal. Brian, is part of that proposal removing that East Basin haul lift?00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.000brian norton: And it's gone.00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:39.000brian norton: I started at East Basin and as long as I'm here, East Basin will, you know, I shouldn't say that. And maybe it'll go away, but it's not going away as part of.00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:34.000Stuart Winchester: Okay.00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.000Stuart Winchester: Okay, I love it.00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:55.000Stuart Winchester: Love that. All right, Brian, hey, I really appreciate you joining us today on the New Look Pod. You're my second guest ever, and I really want to make this timely, so the fact that we could talk about this new expansion at Loon is awesome, and I hope I can be up there on opening day.00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.000Stuart Winchester: And I hope that's next winter.00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.000brian norton: Yeah, and I hope to get out there on Black Ridge with you.00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.000Stuart Winchester: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Well, good luck at your planning board meeting tonight, Brian. Talk to you.00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:05.000brian norton: All right. Thanks, Stuart.00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.000Stuart Winchester: Thanks so much. Bye.00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.000brian norton: Bye.00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.000Stuart Winchester: All right, so…00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:17.000Stuart Winchester: That is Brian Norton, President and General Manager of Loon Mountain.00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:25.000Stuart Winchester: Before we move on to the closing segment, I want to tell you about my friends at Profile Search International.00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:31.000Stuart Winchester: A lot of you come to this podcast to hear from the best minds in skiing, guys like Brian Norton.00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:41.000Stuart Winchester: Managing mountains that are making big moves like Loon. But, what if you want to find one of these great leaders for your own mountain team? Brian is pretty happily employed.00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:46.000Stuart Winchester: I'd like to introduce you to the folks at Profile Search International.00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:59.000Stuart Winchester: Profile Search are ski industry talent acquisition experts, and they are the only executive search and recruitment firm in the world that is 100% focused on the ski industry.00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:05.000Stuart Winchester: ProfileSearch has used their intimate understanding of skiing and related industries.00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:14.000Stuart Winchester: and of available candidates worldwide to place hundreds of transformational leaders at the best and most progressive ski areas over the past 30 years.00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:21.000Stuart Winchester: With offices in the US and Canada, they find and negotiate with the right leaders for your team.00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:33.000Stuart Winchester: You can reach out to Profile Search directly at profilesearch.com, or contact them by email or phone, or send me a note, and I will connect you directly with this expert team.00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:40.000Stuart Winchester: Alright, I'm really looking forward to this next segment. As promised, I am going to use this segment.00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:52.000Stuart Winchester: to read reaction to the previous podcast. I'm not at a point where I can do the podcast live, maybe someday, but right now, we are…00:43:52.000 --> 00:44:08.000Stuart Winchester: Read and react the next day. So, uh, the way that you can interact with the podcast is to make a comment on the article that accompanies this podcast on stormskeeting.com. Only paid subscribers can do that.00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:23.000Stuart Winchester: You can upgrade to the paid tier of the storm, which is the very best way to support the product@stormskiing.com. That will get you 100% of the content below the paywall, and it will also allow you to interact with the podcast, but.00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:31.000Stuart Winchester: everyone can listen to the podcast. The podcast has always been for everyone, and my intent is to keep it that way. So…00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:40.000Stuart Winchester: Some reaction to yesterday, and a lot of this is just reacting to… So yesterday, as a reminder, Joe Hessian came on, talked about…00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.000Stuart Winchester: The Snow Pass, uh, talked about…00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:51.000Stuart Winchester: Indy Pass and Snow Pass, both claiming Snow King and the confusion around that.00:44:51.000 --> 00:45:00.000Stuart Winchester: Uh, and I talked a little bit about, just in general, uh, the Indy Pass and the fact that smugglers not to join. So…00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:14.000Stuart Winchester: Reading the comments from top to bottom. And again, these are all paid subscribers, so thank you very much, and a lot of these folks I have been in dialogue with for years, so they're not necessarily new to me, but perhaps new to the community.00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.000Stuart Winchester: Starting with Peter Schlachtes.00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.000Stuart Winchester: So, just under an hour, in the short format?00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:27.000Stuart Winchester: I liked it. I had heard the backstory on Hessian and didn't need to hear it again.00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:30.000Stuart Winchester: It focused on the compelling stuff.00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:44.000Stuart Winchester: But remember that your growing audience, I hope, consists over time of more and more people who won't have heard or remember that context and texture and won't necessarily seek it out on an old podcast that features your speaker.00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:59.000Stuart Winchester: By the way, though, you really must make a point of steering people to relevant past podcasts that provide the backstory on guests and mountains you cover in the new format. Mention it, flash it on the screen, put it in a subtext, and leave it there, because people won't know they're interested in learning more until…00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:00.000Stuart Winchester: They are.00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:08.000Stuart Winchester: Yes, Peter, I appreciate the short comment, and short has never been my…00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:25.000Stuart Winchester: Strength. So expect some experimentation. Uh, expect me to play around with this a little bit. Expect some episodes to be longer than others. I truly will try to get some bite size episodes out there, but I, I find that the podcasts that I listen to that are news focused are usually right around an hour and.00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:34.000Stuart Winchester: And I don't run out of steam with that, as long as what they're talking about is interesting to me. As far as your point about linking to past podcasts, look.00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.000Stuart Winchester: One of the reasons that…00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:42.000Stuart Winchester: I had to move to a different podcast format.00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:43.000Stuart Winchester: Was that…00:46:43.000 --> 00:47:03.000Stuart Winchester: the old podcast was becoming too laborious, and part of the reason was I was too concerned with building a big story around it, and making sure that everything I mentioned had some context that a reader could go back to. And what that… and it was great, and a lot of people appreciated that, and again, I'll still do some long-form product…00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:17.000Stuart Winchester: Podcasts and I'm still doing plenty of writing, but it actually gummed things up to the point where I was just not making as many podcasts as I should be. So my goal here with the new short format podcast, keep it light, keep it moving.00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:33.000Stuart Winchester: The trend is toward search, right? So with all the AI tools and everything available, it's pretty easy to find my old podcast. I do have a master list that I linked to from the homepage, uh, and, and.00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:38.000Stuart Winchester: As much as I agree with you, it would be nice, I think that most people…00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:50.000Stuart Winchester: will just Google Joe Hessian Storm Skiing Podcast, and it will pop right up. But, we'll see how it evolves. Next comment from Mimi Ma, another long-time paid subscriber. Shout out to Mimi.00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:57.000Stuart Winchester: Like the format, especially good that I can skim read if needed, and then jump to the sections of interest. Keep up the good work. I want to make that point.00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:09.000Stuart Winchester: there is a transcript for every single episode. You can click on the transcript, and when you're reading it, you click to any section, and it will go to that section of the podcast, if you're on Substack.00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:22.000Stuart Winchester: If you're on YouTube, you won't have that capability, so you can always check out the video version on Substack. Again, if you're listening via audio on Apple or Spotify or something, you also won't have that. So, go to stormskiing.com to get that capability.00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:36.000Stuart Winchester: Comment from Robert. Quote, I think Joe's comment about Eric self-describing himself as the, quote, anti-collaborator, and I'm curious to hear what his, Eric's, answer is.00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000Stuart Winchester: To what is apparently a self-reference.00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:58.000Stuart Winchester: I don't see how you can't be anti collaborative and run a ski area, not to mention operating what is effectively a business to business service business and to Benny and the need to work with all their customers. What's the business justification for not wanting to collaborate outside the sphere he controls?00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:14.000Stuart Winchester: The ski Cooper thing was a bit different in many ways. Here we're talking about two third party systems meant to drive skier visits, and at least at the moment, given the portfolios, I think it is a relatively small percentage of skiers that are most likely choosing between the snow pass and Indy.00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:27.000Stuart Winchester: Most of them, I would assume, are likely NYC Metro-based. Good stuff on the new format. Looking forward to its evolution. Look, Joe was referencing a conversation that he had with Eric. It wasn't…00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:39.000Stuart Winchester: a publicly available conversation, so this is why I'm going to get Eric on the podcast tomorrow, to give his reaction to it. I… you know, Eric, from my point of view.00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:55.000Stuart Winchester: Look at the explosive growth of IndiePass under his tenure, right? He's, he purchased the pass, I believe in 2023, and, and I believe the number of partners, and I can double check this, uh, has more than tripled since Eric took it over, and he's really done a phenomenal job.00:49:56.000 --> 00:50:08.000Stuart Winchester: transforming Black Mountain and 10x-ing revenue at a ski area, which is simply unheard of in the ski business, and making it to Benny, which is a platform that people use.00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:19.000Stuart Winchester: As with any person doing a lot of things, Eric sometimes runs into controversies, but that's what this podcast.00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:34.000Stuart Winchester: Is here for is to give folks an opportunity to air their sides of the stories. Uh, I have a lot of respect for Joe and for Eric, and I think they're both doing really cool things in the ski industry. So, so we'll, we'll see. We'll see what Eric's.00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:51.000Stuart Winchester: answer is to that. From Scott Abraham, another long-time reader, I presume your hair is still standing out from being present at the Hail Mary. Quack, he's a Ducks fan. Alright, Scott, I'm gonna move right past that one. Eric Morris, great new format. You've written great stuff on walkable ski areas. How did you develop those thoughts?00:50:51.000 --> 00:51:00.000Stuart Winchester: Are you aware of strong towns? Are you aware of the Congress of New Urbanism? Eric, thank you. Yes, that is a running theme.00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.000Stuart Winchester: We threw out the storm.00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:19.000Stuart Winchester: I'll say this. There's a reason I live in New York City, and it's not because I think it's the greatest place in the world. It's because I value living in a walkable community. I value a pedestrian environment. I like that I don't need to get in my car.00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:26.000Stuart Winchester: Every time I need to go to the grocery store to get a box of pancakes. And New York City offers a really.00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:30.000Stuart Winchester: Great environment for that sort of lifestyle.00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:32.000Stuart Winchester: Uh, and when you travel around Europe.00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:45.000Stuart Winchester: those sorts of communities are everywhere, including in the ski towns. And our ski areas, being developed post-World War II, were mostly developed as most of America was at the time, which is around the automobile.00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.000Stuart Winchester: And…00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:49.000Stuart Winchester: I don't think that…00:51:49.000 --> 00:52:04.000Stuart Winchester: Car-centric mountain towns are necessarily the best way to evolve our towns into the future. So I think there's a rethinking in order. And yes, I am familiar with the schools of new urbanism and read frequently.00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:09.000Stuart Winchester: I'm not claiming these are ideas I'm coming up with mysel

On pensait jusqu'ici que la naissance de la Lune avait été une histoire relativement longue. Mais des simulations informatiques suggèrent un scénario beaucoup plus spectaculaire : notre satellite aurait pu se former, pour l'essentiel, en quelques heures seulement.Pour comprendre, remontons environ 4,5 milliards d'années en arrière.La Terre est alors très jeune. Selon l'hypothèse aujourd'hui dominante, elle entre en collision avec un autre astre, souvent appelé Théia, probablement de taille comparable à Mars. Le choc est gigantesque. Une partie des roches des deux corps est projetée dans l'espace.Dans le scénario classique, ces matériaux forment d'abord un immense disque de débris autour de la Terre. Puis, progressivement, sous l'effet de la gravité, les morceaux s'agglomèrent. Après des mois, voire des années, ils finissent par former la Lune.Mais des chercheurs de la NASA et de l'université de Durham ont réalisé des simulations beaucoup plus détaillées de cette collision. Et ils ont découvert qu'un autre scénario était possible.Dans certaines simulations, l'impact arrache immédiatement une énorme quantité de matière. Celle-ci ne forme pas seulement une multitude de petits débris : elle s'assemble très rapidement en un corps de taille comparable à la Lune.Plus étonnant encore, ce corps peut être placé directement sur une orbite suffisamment éloignée de la Terre pour survivre.Tout cela se déroule en quelques heures. Dans certaines simulations, environ cinq heures après la collision, un objet ressemblant déjà fortement à notre Lune existe autour de la Terre.Pourquoi cette découverte est-elle importante ?Parce qu'elle pourrait résoudre une vieille énigme.Les roches rapportées par les missions Apollo ont montré que la composition de la Lune ressemble énormément à celle du manteau terrestre. Or, dans certains anciens modèles de l'impact géant, la Lune devait être constituée en grande partie de matière provenant de Théia. Il fallait donc expliquer pourquoi Terre et Lune étaient chimiquement si semblables.Dans le nouveau scénario, une proportion importante de matière terrestre peut être directement incorporée dans la future Lune. Leur ressemblance devient alors plus facile à expliquer.Attention cependant : cette simulation ne prouve pas que la Lune s'est réellement formée en cinq heures.Elle démontre qu'un tel scénario est physiquement possible.La naissance de la Lune n'aurait donc peut-être pas ressemblé à une lente construction à partir de millions de débris. Elle aurait pu être extraordinairement brutale : une collision titanesque, quelques heures de chaos gravitationnel… et, autour de la jeune Terre, une Lune déjà presque formée. Hébergé par Acast.

Growing up, Kate Reid had always dreamt about working in Formula 1. And in her early 20s, she achieved that dream by joining the Williams team as an aerodynamicist. But this F1 enthusiast quickly realised the job was not all she'd hoped. "I imagined it would be an incredibly dynamic, collaborative, exciting job, and all of those things didn't come to fruition for me, and it sent me down a pretty dark path," says Reid. On this week's episode, BOSS editor Sally Patten finds out how this aerodynamicist applied her scientific rigor to become one of Australia's most well-known pastry chefs.

Listen to a sampling of some of the 2026 New York Guitar Festival, with pieces by Gyan Riley and an arrangement of Debussy by Australian guitarist brothers Ziggy & Miles, plus, recorded live in August at Bryant Park. Gyan Riley is the son of the groundbreaking minimalist composer Terry Riley, and began as the guitarist in his father's All-Star Band. He plays all the guitars - electric, classical, and bass– with chamber music elegance and brilliant virtuosity. He was joined by drummer Kenny Grohowski (Imperial Triumphant, Titans to Tachyons, Secret Chiefs) and bassist Greg Chudzik, which made this an all-star lineup. Listen to their set, recorded live at the second night of the 2026 New York Guitar Festival. Then, Australian brothers Ziggy & Miles, who happened to be the first guitar duo (and, oddly, the first Australians) to be accepted into the Juilliard School's Artist Diploma program play an arrangement of Claude Debussy's “Claire de Lune.” Plus, hear another piece by the Chicago-based duo of Goran Ivanovic and Fareed Haque, from night one of the 2026 New York Guitar Festival. Set list: 1. Debussy: “Claire de Lune”, arr. Ziggy & Miles 2. Gyan Riley – “Jibberjab” 3. Gyan Riley, Greg Chudzik, Kenny Grohowski – “Greymaxxing with Blue” 4. Gyan Riley, Greg Chudzik, Kenny Grohowski – “Because Today” 5. Goran Ivanovic & Fareed Haque – “Adventure” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Le 20 juillet 1969, près de 600 millions de téléspectateurs assistent à un événement que beaucoup considèrent encore aujourd'hui comme l'un des plus grands exploits de l'histoire humaine : Neil Armstrong pose le pied sur la Lune et prononce sa célèbre phrase : « Un petit pas pour l'homme, un bond de géant pour l'humanité ». Pendant quelques années, la Lune devient le symbole de la capacité de l'Homme à repousser les limites du possible. Pourtant, après 1972, les missions lunaires s'arrêtent et notre satellite semble retomber dans l'oubli. Mais depuis quelques années, la Lune est redevenue un objectif stratégique pour les grandes puissances. États-Unis, Chine, Russie, Europe mais aussi entreprises privées, investissent à nouveau dans l'exploration spatiale. Pourquoi ce retour d'intérêt ? S'agit-il d'un simple rêve de conquête, d'un enjeu scientifique, économique ou géopolitique ? Alors que les missions Artemis préparent le retour des astronautes sur le sol lunaire, une question se pose : devons-nous retourner sur la Lune ? Une question posée aux candidats lors des Grands Oraux de l'ENM. Pour répondre à cette question, je reçois Stéphane Zambon.

REDIFF - Juillet 1969, trois astronautes américains s'envolent pour la lune. La mission est risquée, mais après quatre jours de voyage dans l'espace, le module d'alunissage se pose sans encombre. Le 21 juillet à 3h56 (heure française), Neil Armstrong devient le premier homme à poser le pied sur le sol lunaire. Installez-vous à bord d'Apollo 11 pour un voyage fantastique et revivez le premier pas de l'humanité sur la Lune. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Éric Lange.

August 22 is the birthday of renowned French composer, Claude Debussy. Born in 1862, Debussy is known for his impressionistic sonic portraits, like La Mer, about the sea. But one of his best known works is an earlier piano piece, Clair de Lune. The song is quiet and haunting. Which got us thinking: what if we paired it with the most haunting birdsong — the song of loons? Enjoy Clair de Loon. Download the song here.  Created for BirdNote by Breakmaster Cylinder.

Grab a warm blanket, settle onto the couch, and join us for an unscheduled, emergency episode of Dedicated to DLP as we react to all the DLP-adjacent news from the D23 Horizons Showcase. While Vanessa was away, our brilliant pal Marq joined the hot seat to sort through what was worth the hype and what was just a late-night fever dream ✨ We are skipping the line-by-line news recaps you can find anywhere else on the internet and jumping straight into the deep end: what do these massive announcements actually mean for the future of Disneyland Paris? From the sheer scale of the upcoming Lion King log flume expansion coming to Adventure World to a brand-new daytime parade rolling down Main Street, there is plenty to chew on. But as exciting as those reveals were, nothing could have prepared us for the bombshell dropped about Discoveryland

We cannot tell you how much we LOVE receiving your questions and requests for‘perfume prescriptions' (something we've always specialised in at On the ScentPodcast – it brings us such joy being able to match people to perfumes they'dperhaps never tried or even heard of). And we get a LOT of DMs@onthescentpodcast on Instagram, and messages on our On the Scent privateFacebook group, so here we are dedicating an episode to do a deep dive on twofascinating fragrant conundrums...Sometimes the prescription requests we get are to help find a ‘replacement' for abeloved signature scent that's since been discontinued – to which we say, there'sprobably never going to be an exact match, but we can definitely guide you towardtrying some scents that match the vibe, the feeling that fragrance gave you whenyou wore it, and the way it slotted into your life like a puzzle piece. We also get alot of requests for very specific scenarios, sometimes quite abstract themes orintimate moments our listeners are seeking to scent! But when we think aboutthem more broadly, there's ways of applying these scenarios (and the things thelistener needs to take from them: strength, motivation, comfort, energy...) toaspects of our own lives.In this correspondence special, we begin with some lovely feedback from a listenerwho made a new discovery via a previous prescription suggestion, then we dive intothe two new requests, which are equally intriguing, and really showcase the kindsof questions we get so many of and adore researching (often for hours!) to find theperfect perfumes for.Let's begin!Joanna said:‘Dear Suzy and Nicola,I can't thank you enough for your amazing affordable iris prescriptions! Both soundincredible and I will be definitely be hunting them down, especially Fragonard Bellede Paris!I especially want to thank you for your reviews of the new M&S perfumes. Thatepisode came out shortly before my trip to England from the States, and Iimmediately added M&S to the itinerary! And WOW…Sheer Musk and DarkestVanilla are incredible! M&S perfumes are unavailable in America, so had my tripbeen just a couple of weeks earlier I would have been completely out of luck, as Iwould never have considered exploring M&S as a perfume haven without yourexpert recommendation. I humbly beg you to do full reviews of the rest of theStudio lineup! I feel that the interests of promoting truly exquisite super-affordable,unique fragrances warrant such a podcast focus. Thank you for all you do for thefragrance community!!'Listener prescriptions:Netta asks:‘Hi! I recently discovered your podcast and I'm absolutely loving it. I've been bingelistening and enjoying every episode!!I've always been obsessed with fragrance and smelling good, so it feels like I'vefinally found my people.I was wondering if you could recommend a perfume that's similar to thediscontinued Armani Privé Pierre de Lune. I absolutely loved it and have nevermanaged to find anything that captures the same feeling. It had such a clean, soft,almost soapy quality while still feeling fresh and elegant. I'd be so grateful for anyrecommendations! Many thanks in advance, Netta.'Daniela Andrier (well known for her love of iris) created Pierre de Lune, featuringviolet, iris, cassia & woody notes.Suzy suggests:Prada Infusion d'Iris‘This modern and elegant fragrance opens with notes of mandarin, galbanum,orange and orange blossom which lead to the heart composed of iris, cedar andvetiver. The base is composed of incense and benzoin.'Fragonard Belle de ParisAnother stunning iris scent by Daniela Andrier. And only £42 for 100ml eau detoilette! ‘Belle de paris is elegantly cloaked in iris, a symbol of chic, and wears itsincomparable scent. Its fruity head notes of green mandarin, neroli, and pearbrighten a generous heart of iris absolutely adorned with violet and incense. Muskand white cedar form its base.'27 87 Per sē‘Per sē is our scent identity and the olfactive translation of our core belief: There isNo Scent Like the Present. It combines the now. The achromatic, and the individualin a sensory experience.“In creating Per sē, we aimed to capture the very essence of the present moment.This fragrance is unparalleled; it ebbs and flows with the dynamism of change, yetits core remains strikingly constant. Just as time never stops, neither does ‘Per sē'.It serves as evidence of the enduring within the ever-changing.”Crafting a symphony of achromatic elegance, Per sē is composed of a floralbouquet, orris butter, and violet leaves. Juxtaposed with clean aldehydes, bamboo,and a pinch of spicy pepper, a subtle underscore of ambrette seeds, angelica roots,and gentle musk complete the incompletable experience of the sensory now.'Nicola suggested:Diptyque Fleur de Peau‘A tribute to the mythical love between Psyche and Eros, which led to the birth oftheir daughter, Hedone. One scent can convey this legend: musks. At the heart ofFleur de Peau, they are cottony, downy or soft. Highlighted with iris and ambretteseed, they reveal their full tactile dimension.Absolute ambrette seed extract comes from hibiscus flowers. Its notes areextraordinarily rich: sweet, slightly animal, fruity (like pear and plum).'Madeline @rocknrollgypsy_13 asks:‘Hello Suzy and Nicola! Fragrance goddesses!Long time listener of the pod, I work on a vineyard in the Hunter Valley NSWAustralia and listening to both of you have gotten me through some long, long daysworking by myself. My name is Madeleine and I was wondering if you could give mea perfume prescription to empower and ground me.Apart from being a musician, one of my other passions is Muay Thai. As a femalefighter I compete quite regularly, recently coming back from a life changing trip toBangkok where I competed at the WBC games winning a silver medal for Australia.It was a tough fight and I know I could've done more to win that gold, but my mindalways seems to stop me before I even step over the ropes. My mentality issomething I always battle with, self-doubt, self-confidence and self-belief is alwayswhat I struggle with. This is a weird kind of prescription, but I would like somethingto wear before my fights, something that is empowering, fires me up, grounds meand makes me feel like I am an unstoppable force going into the ring to face myopponent. Think a goddess of war, powerful, strong, unbreakable and fierce.Something to spray on before I warm up, or walk into the ring that grounds me,centres me and reminds me of who I am.I am open to anything, as my love for perfume has grown so much since listeningto you both. Much love always, thank you for all you do.Madeleine xx'Nicola's answer:Olfactive O New Earth‘I am the host who cooks to the rhythm of the seasons, the one who pulls up anextra chair before you've even asked. I believe in the beauty of things made byhand - the thumbprint in the clay, the worn-in softness of a family heirloom. Thereis quiet joy in walking the same path every day and noticing the first green shootsof change. For me, luxury resides in the weight of a heavy linen shirt and thesimple, rhythmic task of chopping herbs from the windowsill pot. I am a life lived inthe present tense.NOTES:Luminous top: shiso, pink peppercorn, spearmint, elemi Present heart: deep-leafimmersion, armoise, geranium, chamomile blue, cardamom, clary sage Rootedbase: hay absolute, fir balsam, oakmoss, myrrhMOMENTS:Nurturing my sourdough starter Fantasising of a life in the wilderness Leaving thebookshop with just one more A cup of tea in the garden Seeking out the perfectsoulful escape'Amouage Meander‘The Amouage Meander eau de parfum explores the exhilarating feeling ofhappiness in a land covered by fog – think lush green mountains and runningwaterfalls covered in steamy clouds. Translating this surreal landscape using notesof frankincense and vetiver, the rich greenery with cypriol and jonquille, and thecaramel-hued earth with sandalwood, carrot heart and orris root, this uniquefragrance captivates the senses and doesn't let go even hours after being spritzedon the pulses.'Suzy's answer:Eris Parfums Ma Bête‘MA BÊTE (My Beast) caresses you with the suggestiveness of perfumed fur.

Pour écouter les émissions en une fois, sans pub et avec les bonus, pour 2€ par mois :https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Retour aujourd'hui sur le 7 août 1959 pour une photo venue d'ailleurs. Le 7 août 1959, une fusée "Thor Able" s'arrache du sol de Cap Canaveral. A son bord, un petit satellite pas plus gros qu'un ballon de plage, Explorer 6. Son objectif ? Observer la haute atmosphère terrestre. Mais ce jour-là, l'humanité va voir plus loin que prévu. Quelques heures après son lancement, depuis 27 000 kilomètres d'altitude, Explorer 6 renvoie une image en noir et blanc. Floue, granuleuse, presque abstraite. Mais c'est une révolution. Pour la première fois, un objet fabriqué par l'homme photographie la Terre depuis l'espace. Le Pacifique, un nuage en spirale, un morceau de continent et ce sentiment vertigineux. Nous sommes là, quelque part, sur cette boule suspendue dans le vide. Explorer 6, c'est aussi un jalon dans la course à l'espace. 2 ans après Spoutnik, la NASA prend position. Le satellite va étudier les ceintures de radiation, les vents solaires, les aurores polaires et prouvera que l'espace n'est pas un silence vide, mais un territoire à comprendre. Ce 7 août 1959, l'humanité ne foule pas encore la Lune, mais elle regarde déjà la Terre comme un tout, fragile, isolé, sublime. Derrière ces images et les rêves de science, il y a aussi des enjeux politiques, militaires, symboliques. Chaque lancement est un message, chaque satellite un drapeau invisible. Alors, quand Explorer 6 envoie sa photo, même floue, c'est un signal. Nous sommes là aussi et nous irons plus loin. Vous l'aurez compris, ce n'est pas seulement une image, c'est un coup d'œil vers l'avenir, dans une décennie où l'espace devient le plus vaste des champs de bataille et peut-être le plus porteur d'espoir.
