In an age where local journalism is struggling to survive, Lake Tahoe is fortunate to have Julie Brown Davis, a West Shore native and staff writer for SFGATE who exclusively covers Lake Tahoe. As the daughter of ski bums who moved to Tahoe in the 1970s, Julie grew up skiing Homewood and Alpine Meadows, worked her first journalism gig at the Sierra Sun and eventually became managing editor of Powder Magazine. After a handful of years as a freelancer, Julie has returned to her journalism roots as a staff reporter, and she isn't afraid to take on the big, controversial stories.

Sven Brunso is the most photographed skier in the history of the sport, but he's a name that most don't know.  With 140 covers and 2500 pages published, you've seen him ski.  In the industry, Sven's work ethic is a thing of legend.  He's known for getting out a day early and setting the skin track and then out-researching everyone for the right beta to get the shot.  He's an animal, and shooting photos is his side hustle.  Sven is a longtime ski marketer with an incredible resume that includes Bula, Purgatory, and Leki. No one works harder than Sven Brunso, and no one is as prolific in front of the lens as him either.  On the podcast, we talk about how 'Blizzard of Aaah's' changed his life, how Glen Plake helped create his career, always having a plan b, suicide, and so much more.  Sven Brunso Show Notes: 4:00:  Svenergizer, finding skiing, learning to ski through magazines, college in Colorado, Blizzard changed his life, and Arizona 15:00:  Meeting Plake at SIA, and overachieving,   22:30:   Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!

Gary Bigham is the most eccentric filmmaker this side of Greg Stump.  You haven't heard about him because when he turned 18, he moved to Europe and became part of the fabric of European Freestyle culture, then he started making films with Europe and the world's best. When the risk of filmmaking became worth more than the reward, Gary did what he does best, entertain. And, between his Vitamin Ski Chalet and playing music in the bars of Chamonix, Gary will always be the center of attention somewhere and the world is better for it.

Haines was named the best place in the world for heli-skiing by POWDER Magazine. And for now, the town's heli-skiing rules aren't changing. That's after the borough assembly landed on an ordinance that mostly upheld the status-quo, including the number of permits and helicopters. KHNS reporter Melinda Munson has the details. 

Mike Rogge is a journalist and film producer began at Ski The East then continued at Powder Magazine, ESPN, Vice Sports, and The Ski Journal.

His company, Verb Cabin, purchased Mountain Gazette in January 2020 in an effort to bring back the beloved title. He loved nostalgia and the history of mountain culture. Mike also loves a good f*cking challenge.

Today's episode discusses sensitive topics related to mental health and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, we encourage you to reach out for help. Remember, you are not alone, and resources are available to support you. If you are in the United States, you can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. For those outside the U.S., please contact local mental health services or helplines. We hope this conversation sheds light on the importance of mental health awareness and encourages open dialogue within our communities. Mental Health First Aid Resources: https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/mental-health-resources/ In episode 158, we have a powerful conversation about mental health in the outdoor community with, Drew Petersen, the creator of Feel It All, a film that explores the intersection of mental health struggles and ultramarathon running.  We'll hear about the personal journey behind the film, the challenges facing mountain communities, and the critical role outdoor athletes can play in changing the stigma around mental health.  Drew Petersen is a professional skier and passionate ultrarunner who is on a mission to change our culture surrounding mental health. He blends his athletic adventures—ranging from skiing peaks in the backcountry to running 100 miles—with his storytelling as a writer, filmmaker, and speaker in order to bring others along for the ride and to advocate for what he cares most about. As a skier, he has graced magazine covers and starred in dozens of award-winning ski films. His writing has appeared in Outside Magazine, Powder Magazine, SKI Magazine, and more publications. In 2022, Drew produced, co-directed, and starred in Ups and Downs a mold-breaking film that mirrors the mountains and valleys of ski touring with his own mental health journey. His newest film Feel It All chronicles running the Leadville 100, one of the most iconic 100-mile ultramarathons in the world, through the peaks he has skied surrounding the course and the deep, mental health goal that drives him to pursue both audacious athletic goals and a full life.

Brian O'Keefe was a man born to be free of any kind of structure and fishing was the caveat to keep him running to the end of the rainbow where the best fishing holes lay. I recognize this because I have the same life text book which reads; ski, fish, eat, sleep! Seeing a photograph of him in his early life, upside down on a Powder Magazine cover, struck me deeply as I remembered this photo from many moons ago. I always wondered who this free spirited skier was. Jump ahead 15 years when I was cutting my teeth with a fish called Megalops, I heard of Brian catching a world record fish with Pate in Africa. Later, while at a trade show a number of years ago, I meet this mystery man, O'Keefe. Very rarely do you meet such a giant so gregarious and friendly. It was as if he was seeking to be hired for his first job. We didn't spend much time together, but I knew instantly we could be incredible friends. Over the next 15 years I kept a keen eye on Brian's work in many publications from every corner of the planet, and I always thought to myself when I'd see a photograph of him with an extraordinary subject , “what a lucky guy!” And finally we get to hear all about it.

What used to be called 100-year floods are now annual occurrences. Summer 2023 was the wettest ever in Vermont, with 2 feet of rain falling on the state. One storm submerged the capital of Montpelier. This July saw towns such as Plainfield ripped apart by raging rivers. In Connecticut this month, a storm dropped more than a foot of rain, leading to deadly and destructive flooding.Author Porter Fox says the source of these deluges — as well as heat waves, fires, and floods — is the ocean, where about 90% of global warming is occurring. This is the inexorable consequence of human-caused climate change. The top layer of the ocean has warmed about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which is “large enough to transform marine biodiversity, change ocean chemistry, raise sea levels, and fuel extreme weather,” reports the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.Fox explains the connection between oceans, climate change and extreme weather in his new book, “Category Five: Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them.”Fox has a personal connection to the ocean. He grew up on Mount Desert Island in Maine, home to Acadia National Park. His father was a renowned boat builder, and Fox learned the craft of ocean sailing by trial and lots of error. He later attended Middlebury College and wrote about skiing adventures all around the world as an editor of Powder Magazine but has now returned to his first love, the sea. Fox's other books include “The Last Winter” and “Northland.”In “Category Five,” Fox captures the awesome power of the ocean by profiling a legendary storm sailor, a mapmaker and a maker of sailing drones, among others.“The ocean is the mother of all weather. It's like a battery that is getting charged up by this excess heat that we have,” Fox said. This is creating squalls and hurricanes with “metrics that we've never seen before.” These monster storms are “traveling farther while moving slower, thus dumping more water and the ferocity of their winds has more time to wreak havoc as they go,” Fox said.“A full throated ocean gale is absolutely terrifying,” he said. These storms have an “explosive sound and shrieking and raging wind and waves that are so powerful they can toss around a 30,000 pound boat like it's a little toy.”Even landlocked places such as Vermont are experiencing the power of the ocean. “Most of the rain that you see in Vermont comes off of the ocean and evaporation. So we have a hotter climate over the ocean. We have more evaporation. We have more energy being infused into the atmosphere,” Fox said. “So every front, every thunderstorm, every squall, every rainstorm is directly connected to the ocean.”The warming ocean has transformed how and when storms occur. “Hurricane season used to be roughly from June to November,” Fox said. Hurricanes have recently occurred in January and May. "Now there is no off season,” he said.What would it take to fix what is broken? “It's kind of an obvious answer: just a little bit of everything,” Fox said. That includes “changing how we create and consume energy around the world, closing down coal-fired power plants, changing from gas cars to electric cars or hydrogen batteries.”“Without the ocean, we'd be gone by now," Fox said. "That 90% of the heat that it is absorbed (by oceans) would be right up in the atmosphere. Temperatures would be unbearable. Storms would be so much more powerful. And yet the ocean is this buffer.”“There's a lot of checks and balances, and it's perhaps the reason that this little blue ball of a planet has maintained life for so long,” he said.“If we can just be aware of that and kind of nudge some of those balances," Fox said, "you could bring the planet back to the way it was pre-1800s.”

Colter Hinchliffe is living proof that the Aspen rockstar ski bum dream not only exists but it can thrive if your heart is in the right place. Colter spent his life surrounding himself with the only thing that mattered to him - Skiing.  And between growing up near Aspen, dropping out of college to shred, moving to Alta, and returning to Aspen, he made the right contacts to make the dream come true. He was tending bar in Aspen, making handfuls of cash, allowing him to travel anywhere in the world at a minute's notice...That lifestyle put him in AK and eventually in a helicopter with the TGR crew when he was 25 years old, and that, combined with an unexpected Powder Magazine cover, helped Colter graduate from ski bum to pro skier pretty late in the game. It's a real-life Aspen Extreme Ski Bum Story.

Known as the ‘Godfather Of Freeskiing', Mike Douglas is consistently listed by media outlets as one of the most influential skiers of all time. He began his career as a mogul skier on the Canadian Freestyle Ski Team in the early 1990s. In 1997, he developed the first high-performance twin-tip ski, the Salomon Teneighty, and his freeskiing career was launched. Dubbed the New Canadian Air Force, Mike and his crew of Canadians revolutionized the sport with their tricks at ski resorts across the globe. He even has a signature tick - the D Spin. Mike has appeared in more than 50 ski films, was named Powder Magazine's ‘Male Skier Of The Year' in 2003, and was the voice of skiing at the X Games for 14 years. In 2004, Mike founded Switchback Entertainment - a video production company specializing in outdoor adventure films and commercials. He launched the groundbreaking web series, Salomon TV, in 2007 and has produced/directed more than a dozen award-winning films including The Freedom Chair, Tempting Fear, Eclipse, Snowman, Guilt Trip and Fountain Of Youth. From 1997-2017 his role as a marketing consultant and ambassador for Whistler Blackcomb helped propel the organization to the top of the ski resort rankings. He has been named ‘Favourite Whistlerite' 7 times by the readers of Whistler's local newspaper, Pique Newsmagazine. Today, Mike is a married father of two, and splits his time between raising his family, skiing professionally, producing/directing films and commercials at Switchback Entertainment, and environmental advocacy work. He is the former Board Chair for Protect Our Winters Canada - an environmental group focused on fighting climate change. He is also on the Board of Directors for the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation.

John Falkiner, Professional ski bum, stunt man, telemark skier, and now mountain guide, there seems to be little he cannot conquer when it comes to mountains. At 18, lured by the prospect of deep powder skiing, he moved from the snowy mountains of Australia to the Swiss resort of Verbier – and it didn't disappoint. A chance meeting on the slopes with fellow skier Ace Kvale and photographer Marco Shapiro – next stop, the front cover of Powder Magazine. From here, sponsorship deals and lifelong friendships turned John's passion into 50 years of action-packed fun. He's been involved in more than 80 films…including James Bond and Bridget Jones…although I'm reliably informed, he wasn't her stunt double. His adventure continues, all be it a little toned down, playing guitar with his ‘Lost Guides' and taking a more cultural route through life. He tells me he was really happy to be born when he was…saying it's become way too expensive to be a ski bum!For more on the amazing athletes and sports enthusiasts featured on the podcast, head to Instagram @samincham_thepodcast and Facebook.

Jason and Matthew interview Jim Harris, a wilderness photographer who was injured in 2014. Jim was recently featured in Outside Magazine regarding his experience with psilocybin and its connection to some restored mobility. This conversation is a follow-up to our previous podcast with Dr. Jessica Nielson on the potential use of psilocybin after SCI. However, in this episode, we specifically focus on one of our community member's direct experience with exploring the use of psychedelics and his advocacy to decriminalize their use in Colorado. Guest Bio Before sustaining a spine injury at the end of 2014, Jim Harris made his living from hard days in the mountains. Following six years of teaching wilderness mountaineering courses, Jim began shooting photos, video, and writing for clients like National Geographic, Camp 4 Collective, Powder Magazine, and outdoor brands. His work reflects a deep firsthand expertise of wilderness travel and DIY adventure. Since being paralyzed, Jim has pushed towards a remarkable recovery and is finding fresh opportunities to be involved in adventure storytelling.

Bruce Edgerly or “Edge” as he's fondly known is one of the only ski entrepreneurs I know to sell his company, get rich, and still be involved in the day-to-day of the business. I haven't had anyone on the podcast with that type of story and Edge is also the only Ivy League guy I've had on the show. But Edge is just a dirtbag kayaker and skier who parlayed the contacts he made while writing for Powder Magazine and Larry Flint into a guerilla marketing machine that would drive the company he and his partner started, BCA, to the forefront of the industry. This is the ski version of the Steve Jobs story…but with a lot more personality. Steve Christie asks Inappropriate Questions, and they are awesome. Bruce Edgerly Show Notes: 3:30:  Moving to Miami, Holderness Academy, Hockey at Brown University, and then moving to Utah 8:00:  Graduating from Brown, getting a real job in Basalt, getting fired from that job, and then delivering the newspaper   12:00:  Miami Vice in Aspen, kayaking, Dean Cummings, the AK Heli Wars, and Powder Magazine 20:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there Outdoor Research:  The best outerwear ever built just got better 22:30:  Larry Flint, forerunning extreme comps in AK, and the birthday party that changes his life 31:00:  Creating the BCA market through connections, being a Peruvian hat-wearing Tele skier, road-tripping the Alpine Trekker, financing, and what production look like 35:00:  The idea for the digital transceiver, who built the Tracker, the avalanche that kickstarted the Tracker 41:00:  10 Barrel Brewery: Buy their beers; they support action sports more than anyone Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better 43:00:  The Beacon Wars, making bold claims that made people angry, Steve Conger's advice, winning over Canada and Europe, and validation in the States 54:00:  First live recovery, airbags, putting his house and assets on the line in the name of BCA, and selling to K2 67:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Steve Christie

Dan Egan is a man who Powder Magazine named one of the most influential skiers of our time. He was instrumental in making extreme skiing what it is today, and is known for skiing the most remote, inhospitable regions of the world. He's seen death and despair. But also great triumph and new heights. He is appeared in multiple Warren Miller ski films as well as on the discovery channel, ESPN Fox Sports and in countless magazines, books and videos. Along with his equally famous brother he has skied around the world, recorded more than 51st descents, jumped off cliffs, the heights of 12 story buildings and defied death multiple times, sometimes barely. He's also a businessman, motivational speaker, consultant, media expert, writer, journalist and producer. As a writer he wrote or co-wrote three books. All Terrain Skiing: Body Mechanics and Balance From Powder to Ice. Courage to Persevere: The Triumph Over Tragedy of Bill Fallon, and 30 Years in a White Haze. As a journalist, he covered three Olympics and is a three time NESJA Harold Hirsch award winner for excellence in journalism. As a producer, he was awarded a Telly award in 1991 and is a three time new England Emmy award nominee for his TV series, Wild World of Winter. An avid sailor as well, our guest has also produced video for the US Sailing Team at two sailing World Championships and his media company represented Sperry shoes during the 35th America's cup in Bermuda. He's also worked with other well-known companies on marketing and branding, including North Face, Suzuki, Sprint and Coors. He is a member of the Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame.

Drew Petersen is a professional skier with a running habit. And now that summer running habit has brought Drew to the start line of the Leadville Trail 100. He grew up just north of Leadville in Silverthorne, so running Leadville has been a lifelong dream. This spring, he also spent some time skiing in the Sawatch Range to start to build a relationship with these peaks and the course. As a skier, he has graced magazine covers, including one of the last covers of the now defunct Powder Magazine, and starred in dozens of award-winning ski films. His writing has appeared in Outside Magazine, Powder Magazine, SKI Magazine, and more publications. Most recently, Drew produced, co-directed, and starred in “Ups and Downs,” a mold-breaking film that mirrors the mountains and valleys of ski touring with his own mental health journey. Within the film he gets raw and vulnerable, talking openly about his struggles with PTSD, biploar disorder, and suicidal ideation. Building on how the film has helped others, Drew is using his platform and opportunities as a professional athlete to change our culture surrounding mental health. While most folks know him for his skiing, trail running is a core part of his mental health journey and really, who he is as a person. So, in advance of the upcoming Leadville 100, we linked up to talk about what this race means for him. You can find out more about Drew on his website at: www.drew-petersen.com If you know someone battling depression and suicide, help them get help. One way is the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 800.273.8255 or online at: www.suicidepreventionlifeline .org

Inappropriate Questions has been a staple of The Powell Movement podcast over the past couple of seasons. But did you know the show pre-dates TPM?  Years ago, I had a podcast with Powder Magazine called “Sponsored,” and to build my own audience off that show, I created Inappropriate Questions as a stand-alone podcast and put it out on the TPM feed.

As part of our Season III relaunch this week, we are revisiting a few of our favorite episodes that grapple with big life themes, break down the components of change, and dive into strategies that are relevant and applicable to you today.This is the story of an athletic prodigy. It's also the story of how setbacks become catalysts for change, how determination fuels a dream, and how a drive for adventure can evolve. And it is a story of risk-taking, mountain life,  and personal reflection that characterize what it takes to ski and fly in the backcountry. For pro-skier Caite Zeliff, the derailing of her career as a ski racer was an opportunity to reconnect with herself and become the athlete she was always meant to be.  At 12, Caite Zeliff started a ski racing career that brought her all over the world. She ascended, she earned a scholarship to a boarding school, she won titles, she received an invitation to the US Ski Team – and she also was rejected, blew out her knee, and burned out – all by age 20. When the U.S. Ski Team invitation didn't come, and she blew out her knee while racing for the University of New Hampshire, she left college and headed westward in search of big mountains and powder. It was in Jackson Hole, WY, where Caite found her true calling – freeskiing.This risk-taking mentality has built her a career as a professional freeskier. Beyond winning Jackson Hole's Kings and Queens of Corbet's twice, Caite has starred in films like Warren Miller's Timeless (2019) and Teton Gravity Research's Make Believe (2020), and Stoke the Fire (2021).  Topics Include:- Caite's journey from ski racer to professional freeskier- Viewing “failure” as an opportunity- Wrestling with an inner obsession for achievement- Shifting focus from the outcome to the process- Processing childhood- Taking risks and stepping out of comfort zones- Finding your voice as a female in a male-dominated industry- The transformational power of women supporting women- Learning to fly and a shifted mindset- And other topics...Resources Mentioned:Caite's Website: https://www.caitezeliff.comCaite's IG: @caitezeliffTimeless, Warren Miller (2019): https://warrenmiller.com/film-archive/timeless-2019Make Believe, Teton Gravity Research (2020): https://www.tetongravity.com/films/make-believeStoke the Fire, Teton Gravity Research (2021): https://www.tetongravity.com/films/stoke-the-fire Powder Magazine: https://www.powder.com/stories/pro-deal-caite-zeliff/Freeskier Magazine: https://freeskier.com/stories/jackson-royaltyStay Connected:Signup for AIR BORN, our monthly newsletter!

We sat down and had an awesome talk with Sierra Shafer, former editor-in-chief at Powder Magazine, and current editor-in-chief at Ski Magazine. Eric, George, and Sierra looked back on some epic Powder Weeks weeks, and dive into Sierra's transition going from the end of Powder to almost immediately taking on the editor role at Ski Magazine, another major pillar in the ski media landscape. We get into some of the changes going on at Ski Magazine as well.

While Mike Rogge is a publisher these days, he cut his teeth writing for some of the most important titles in snow and beyond. These days, life is all about changing the print model from a dying, corporate, ad driven business to a thriving, independent, boutique model that caters to what subscribers want.  On the show, we talk about finding a home in skiing as a writer, Powder, The Ski Journal, his internet persona and so much more.  Rogge has never been afraid to share his opinions which always makes for a great listen.

The Earth's coldest places are a hot mess.As a result of climate change, studies suggest that most ski areas in southern New England will be out of business by 2040. A recent climate assessment in Vermont says that the Vermont ski season will be shortened by up to a month. In the western United States, high elevation snowpacks have decreased by nearly 50 percent in the last four decades. In the Alps, half of the glacial ice has disappeared.This matters because when snow and ice vanish, sea levels rise, ocean currents change, wildfires become more intense, and fresh water becomes scarce — to name just a few impacts. Journalist Porter Fox has gone from traveling and skiing the world as a former editor of Powder Magazine to journeying through frozen lands to chronicle the alarming impacts of climate change. His new book is The Last Winter: The Scientists, Adventurers, Journeymen, and Mavericks Trying to Save the World."The cool, reflective crust of ice and snow now draped around the poles is the final buffer between us and radical climate change," Fox wrote recently in Time. If we lose the world's cold places, he warns, "we lose the world we know."

Welcome back to the Next Level Skiing podcast, brought to you by Wagner Skis. Thinking through the fear with Julian Carr. One of the great things about skiing is that we can apply the lessons we've learned on snow and adapt them to our whole life. Today is no exception. Julian talks about how he gets air, how he got started, and what goes into finding the right conditions. As a natural talent, Julian has a unique and positive perspective on both skiing and life. We've all seen the pictures. X-Games GOLD Medalist Julian Carr is known as one of the skiers who gets the biggest air. It's almost as if he's out there to prove that flying and skiing aren't two different things.  Julian's lofty exploits have landed him in Warren Miller films.

Ingrid Backstrom - Legendary Freeskier, Fierce Competitor, Game-Changer, Ski Movie Star Episode #25 Brought to you by Tamarack Resort & Alta Ski Area My guest today is Ingrid Backstrom. Ingrid is a legendary freeskier who made a huge impact on the ski industry and forever changed freeskiing. She started out dominating the North American freeskiing competitions ending up on the podium in 12 of the 14 contests she entered. After getting noticed by the owners of Matchstick Productions while winning a freeskiing comp in Crested Butte, CO, Ingrid exploded onto the freeskiing scene in 2004 and has never looked back. After her very first ski movie with Matchstick Productions 2004 movie Yearbook, Ingrid took home both "Best Female Performance" & "Breakthrough Performace" at the 2005 Powder Awards. Ingrid won Powder Magazine's Reader Poll every year from 2005-2015. Ingrid's aggressive, hard-charging, graceful, seemingly effortless style simply blew people's minds on the big screen. Ingrid has also proven herself on some of Earth's highest mountains skiing off 26,000' Gasherbrum II in the Himalaya, and harvesting the first decent of 20,000' Reddomaine in China not to mention her first descents in Greenland, Baffin Island, and more. Ingrid's humble background of spending weekends in a 1954 bookmobile turned RV in the Crystal Mountain parking lot and ski racing at Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA are fascinating and pivotal to her success. Ingrid has been in over 20 ski movies and was even included in ESPN's 50 Most Influential People in Action Sport in 2013. Ingrid was a joy to speak with and we learned a lot about life in chatting with her and we're confident that you will as well.

This is the story of an athletic prodigy. It's also the story of how setbacks become catalysts for change, how determination fuels a dream, and how a drive for adventure can evolve. And it is a story of risk-taking, mountain life,  and personal reflection that characterize what it takes to ski and fly in the backcountry. For pro-skier Caite Zeliff, the derailing of her career as a ski racer was an opportunity to reconnect with herself and become the athlete she was always meant to be.  At 12, Caite Zeliff has started a ski racing career that brought her all over the world. She ascended, she earned a scholarship to a boarding school, she won titles, she received an invitation to the US Ski Team – and she also was rejected, blew out her knee, and burned out – all by age 20. When the U.S. Ski Team invitation didn't come, and she blew out her knee while racing for the University of New Hampshire, she left college and headed westward in search of big mountains and powder. It was in Jackson Hole, WY, where Caite found her true calling – freeskiing.Paragliding. Thanks to COVID and an idea inspired by a soaring raven, Caite decided to learn to paraglide. She continually pushes herself to the edge of her comfort zone. Paragliding is a wild sport, one that challenges Caite in all kinds of ways. It requires slowing down and a constant awareness of the situation. Caite is constantly looking for challenge and currently obsessed with understanding how to strengthen the relationship with the wing, moving air and gravity. This risk-taking mentality has built her a career as a professional freeskier. Beyond winning Jackson Hole's Kings and Queens of Corbet's twice, Caite has starred in films like Warren Miller's Timeless (2019) and Teton Gravity Research's Make Believe (2020), and Stoke the Fire (2021).  Topics Include:Caite's journey from ski racer to professional freeskierViewing “failure” as an opportunityWrestling with an inner obsession for achievementShifting focus from the outcome to the processProcessing childhoodTaking risks and stepping out of comfort zonesFinding your voice as a female in a male-dominated industryThe transformational power of women supporting womenLearning to fly and a shifted mindsetAnd other topics...Caite Zeliff grew up skiing in North Conway, New Hampshire. She now lives in Jackson Hole where her career as a professional freeskier began.

Get 10 percent off everything else with the code “EASTCOAST.”Who: Sierra Shafer, Editor-in-Chief of Powder MagazineRecorded on: December 9, 2020Why I interviewed her: Because over the half past century, no single entity has better defined how we ski, what we ski, and the way that we think and talk about skiing than Powder Magazine. It is a guidebook and a glossary and a portal to untold ski Narnias beyond our limited worlds. Without it, we are all standing in that gondola line at Vail last year, amazed at the glimmer and expense of it all but confused about what to do. Some of us have our helmets on backwards and we’re ready to shred the groomers in these newfangled parabolic skis and it’s gonna be great man because no winter is complete without our three-day annual ski vacation. Powder defined the possible beyond that staid and stampeding and limited resort experience. And what was possible, it turned out, was almost anything. This world is filled with mountains and it’s filled with snow and Powder was our printed Hollywood, teleporting us into places so surreal and spectacular that they would make Pandora sneak out the back door in embarrassment. There are people who ski and there are skiers, man, and if you don’t know what the difference is you will by the time you hit the Shooting Gallery in any issue of Powder. It’s our compass. Or it was. Because s**t someone just turned off the magnetic field and now we have no idea which way to go, and excuse me Sir but exactly how does the Earth just stop having a north? Oh I see. So I just follow the signs to Lionshead and everything will be cool? OK thanks so much for that Epic tip. Skiing really is just swell. Part of my reference library.What we talked about: How the American Media acquisition went down and how the Powder crew reacted; the immediate staffing and institutional changes that followed and how those impacted morale; becoming Powder’s first female editor-in-chief; honoring the magazine’s legacy while evolving it for the current world; the challenges and opportunities of creating a more inclusive magazine; killing “top women’s X or Y” lists; how Powder plans its season slate; the challenge of balancing a rad print magazine and with a rad social media operation; what happened when American Media sliced the 2019-20 production run from six to four issues; why the magazine lost its internship and fellowship programs; which subscriber demographic had been growing in recent years; Powder’s reaction to this summer’s Black Lives Matter protests; how we got the Naked Guy cover on this season’s first issue; the backstory behind that photo; whether the snippet on the first issue’s spine was a warning of the shutdown to come; when American Media delivered the news that they were furloughing the Powder staff, the reasons they gave, and how the team reacted; remaking the final issue in just two weeks;  planning the cover for the final issue once they realized it would be the final issue; measuring the magazine’s impact via the testimonials that tumbled in after The Terrible News broke; Easter eggs in the final issue; what American Media is offering Powder subscribers in place of future issues and what it revealed about how well they know their own magazine; whether the magazine is for sale and how much interest there is in purchasing it; what future hypothetical owners would need to do to make Powder sustainable; the appeal of paper in the digital wormhole of 2020; and optimism for the future of ski magazines.    Questions I wish I’d asked: I wasn’t entirely clear why changes in California labor laws led to the loss of Powder’s internship programs, and I should have asked Shafer to elaborate on that a bit. I also wanted to ask what the alternative to the Naked Guy cover was that the team had prepared in case the A360 execs rejected it.            Why I thought that now was a good time for this interview: Because well you see I looked around for the complaint department at A360 Media, the skier-hating corporate overlords who decided that the best way to end 2020 was to shut down the greatest ski magazine of all time, but I couldn’t find the gosh-darn thing and so here we are. I wanted to hear the full story of A360’s tenure, which has been defined by abrupt then steady cuts that ended with the biggest cut of all: everything. Powder Magazine is no more(-ish), and we need answers, damn it, and Shafer was the best positioned person to give us the broadest possible context about what happened, why it happened, and what may come next.Additional reading:Former Powder editor and current Adventure Journal editor Steve Casimiro wrote a pair of reactions to the shutdown news.My own thoughts on PowderThe shuttering of Powder comes just a few years after Skiing closed after a nearly 70-year run. While not as beloved by the hardcore, Skiing was a hell of a good magazine. This tribute by Mike Peruzzi is the best statement of the magazine’s mission and legacy that I’m aware of.Let’s not let this happen againHere are some ski mags you can still subscribe to:Ski JournalSkiFreeskierFollow The Storm Skiing Journal on Facebook and Twitter.COVID-19 & Skiing Podcasts: Author and Industry Veteran Chris Diamond | Boyne Resorts CEO Stephen Kircher | Magic Mountain President Geoff Hatheway | NSAA CEO Kelly Pawlak | Berkshire East/Catamount Owner & Goggles for Docs founder Jon Schaefer | Shaggy’s Copper Country Skis Cofounder Jeff Thompson | Doppelmayr USA President Katharina Schmitz | Mt.

We even hear about how Wally met his wife in a ski town bar, where he likes to ski now, and what Wally's latest job entails.

Follow Red Bull photographer Christian Pondella as he descends inside the Greenland Ice Cap, a place that no one had ever gone before. Greenland is one of the most remote and extreme countries on Earth. 80% of its surface is covered in ice, temperatures can reach -65°C. But it holds the second largest ice sheet on the planet, and it’s melting fast. Christian teams up with legendary ice climber Will Gadd, and glaciologist Jason Gulley, to go deeper into the ice than anyone has ever gone before. Their expedition is fraught with danger, but the science they would bring would back change our understanding of climate change, sea level rise and the future of our planet.

An old Vail friend and amazing long time accomplished ski and adventure photographer Jeff Cricco joins the podcast to talk about his move to the mountain town of Vail in the early 90s, the string of resort and restaurant jobs that finally led him to chasing his love of photography, his longtime relationship with Powder Magazine and the unfortunate recent news that they are closing shop, and how he has remained relevant in the young man's game of chasing light in the backcountry for so many years.  During our conversation Jeff and I talk about the "good ole" days of ski resort towns like Vail, how a Grateful Dead show on McNichols arena in 94 ended up inspiring him with the resolve to be a full time photographer, the ups and downs of the life of a ski photographer, his time working as a guide in Alaska, what the future of the adventure photography industry might look like, and the advice he gives to others out there chasing their own dreams of capturing life in the mountains.   Follow Jeff Cricco on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/jeffcricco/?hl=en For More Information about Visual Revolutionary Visit: http://www.visualrevolutionary.com And Follow on Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/?hl=en

Julian Carr holds multiple world records for ski cliff drops. He has successfully executed 100+ foot drops over a dozen times and walked away without a scratch. This conversation dives into the fact that he is not an “adrenaline junkie”. His approach is one of being grateful, present and working through fear. By “dissecting fear” Julien has been able to achieve moments of connection with himself and his surroundings that make the impossible – possible. Widely recognized for the biggest airs in skiing, Julian Carr has been featured in seven Warren Miller films, developing a reputation not only for big airs, but for all around skiing. He’s received a ‘Photo of the Year’ award from Powder Magazine, won the prestigious Sickbird Award on the Freeskiing World Tour, X-Games GOLD Medalist, & he holds two world records in cliff height.

29-year old Professional big mountain skier Angel Collinson has shattered industry ceilings since she hit the scene. The first female skier to land both the opening and finale segments in a TGR film and the first woman to win Powder Magazine's "Best Line" award. Raised on the slopes of Alta ski area in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon, her and her brother Johnny (also a professional skier on The North Face athlete team) spent their youth splitting time between ski resort employee housing and living out of a van chasing backcountry adventures for family fun. In this episode we talk all things skiing and stoke of course, Angel's sibling dynamic in the professional sphere, as well as how to overcome your own worst critic—yourself.

The Storm Skiing Podcast #2 | Download this episode on iTunes and Google Play| Read the full overview at skiing.substack.com.Who: Danielle and Laszlo Vajtay, Owners, Plattekill MountainWhy I interviewed them: Because Plattekill flat amazes me. Situated deep in the Catskills interior, surrounded by better funded and bigger neighbors, nearly unknown outside of die-hard ski circles, the odds of this family-owned mountain still existing at all, let alone thriving, would seem remote in our days of octuple chairlifts and Ikonik gigapasses. But there it is, a sort of Little-Engine-That-Could clanking one refurbished snowgun at a time into 2019. This was not an accident. It was not luck. It was two people busting their ass for 26 years, reinvesting deliberately in the hill, plugging snowmaking at a one-run-per-annum rate into the incline, and slowly building a community around that intangible thing called atmosphere that makes skiing Plattekill unlike skiing anyplace else in the state. And they did all of that by avoiding debt like blue ice after a refreeze. How they did that against considerable odds was a story that I wanted to hear.What we talked about: Skiing together since they were kids; their terrific first winter as owners (1993-94); when the mountain almost fell apart during their second, terrible winter (1994-95; imagine not opening until February!); snow farming; why real estate is a dumb strategy for building a sustainable ski business; the Plattekill model of deliberate investment/no debt; how the Plattekill model could have saved lost Catskills ski areas Bobcat and Cortina; the mountain is one giant glade; yes the front five double blacks are absolute freefalls but the mountain has some terrific greens and blues and for families or novices it offers a hell of a lot; turns out a The New York Times feature story about your mountain rental program is pretty damn good marketing, so if you own a mountain maybe do that? How the mountain rental program started when 20 people showed up on a midweek powder day and Laszlo was like, “we’ll open for $2,500,” and some dude was like, “cool,” and they all went skiing; what happens when Vail sets up shop in your backyard by buying your largest rival; is Alterra buying Windham inevitable? And speaking of giant unwieldly conglomerates bwah-ha-ha-ha Platty is still here and has anyone seen American Skiing Company around here anywhere oh yeah there’s its carcass in a Dumpster in lower Manhattan; Laszlo does have a favorite big ski conglomerate though; The Freedom Pass; the Indy Pass and why the Vajtays, uh, passed on it; where Platty’s passholders come from; Belleayre. Oh, man, Belleayre. Laszlo is not a fan of operating in direct competition with a state-subsidized ski area, especially as a taxpayer who is essentially then doing the subsidizing. How can that be remedied? Laszlo has some ideas. Why the Vajtays would rather compete with Vail or Alterra than ORDA. Also – how often and where the Vajtays ski (turns out that when you own a mountain, you get to ski a lot); what Win Smith said to Laszlo when they went skiing together. Also, this:Four of Plattekill’s front five double-black divebombers in February 2019. L to R: Northface, Giant Slalom, Plunge and Freefall. A T-bar used to run up Plunge. Laszlo talks about the painstaking process of refurbishing and installing the Northface Double Chair that replaced it and is pictured here.Things that may be slightly outdated because we recorded this a while ago: Laszlo announced a reciprocity agreement with Homewood, a mountain seated on the shores of Lake Tahoe. The place looks rad but I’ve never skied there or anywhere in Tahoe (big ski resume gap). This appears to be a separate agreement from the Freedom Pass arrangement, as Homewood is not listed as a partner in that alliance but does have a pretty amazing list of season pass reciprocity deals (really wish more East Coast mountains forged these sorts of free-ticket partnerships with their neighbors instead of their standard “you can get 10 percent off a full-priced lift ticket at our partner mountains,” which isn’t much of a bargain when you can typically find those tickets far cheaper elsewhere). Platty’s season pass details are here. What I got wrong: When I mentioned that the three ORDA mountains (Belleayre, Gore, and Whiteface), were on Max Pass, I forgot to mention that Windham was as well. I sort of flubbed the description of Aspen’s role in Alterra – The Aspen Skiing Company, which is in turn owned by Henry Crown and Company, owns Alterra in conjunction with KSL Capital Partners. I said something slightly different during the interview, but it’s interesting to note that I don’t think most skiers realize that Aspen is the Ikon analogue to Vail/Epic, and it’s kind of amazing how they’ve transformed themselves into Captain Good Guy when their pass is more expensive and their day ticket prices are just a pair of disposable foot warmers cheaper than Vail’s in most cases. Why I thought that now was a good time for this interview: Plattekill is on a roll. Besides the aforementioned Times piece, an excellent Catskills write-up by Powder Magazine’s Porter Fox last winter featured Plattekill (along with Belleayre and Hunter) prominently, describing it as a throwback, a scrappy survivor, and, most importantly, “the Alta of the Catskills” for its 150 inches of annual lake effect snow. The mountain rental program is working, and the place, relatively speaking, is thriving. This is in part I think due to a general backlash against our Ikonik/Epik landskape and the perceived cost and generic experience of skiing those mega-pass mountains. While I have both of these passes and will likely continue to buy them and believe the Disneyfication angle is overstated, I also make sure to ski Plattekill and other indies over the course of the winter, for exactly all of the reasons articulated above. Why you should go there: Because this is the coolest damn ski hill in the state of New York. Yes, it’s the smallest of the four Catskills mountains by acreage and vertical drop and number of lifts and size of the parking lot and size of the lodge. No, there are no high-speed lifts and the trails are shockingly narrow in places and the lodge is not some starchitect-designed spaceship ready to transport you to Jupiter. This is what skiing looks like when it’s run not by block grants airlifted from Broomfield but real people who love their mountain and love skiing and put every damn thing they have into making it work. Plus, it’s never crowded, the lift tickets are fairly priced, they have the friendliest lifties I’ve every encountered, and, yes, it feels like skiing in the 1960s. I think. Since I have no first-person recollecation of the 1960s, I’m going to make some assumptions here and say it feels like skiing in some indeterminate bygone era when kids didn’t spend all their time smartphoning and playing the Halo. Seriously though, make a day for this one (as long as that day is a Friday through Sunday, because a midweek lift ticket is $4,500 – not bad actually if you can round up 100 friends or bribe your company into paying for it). While we’re on the subject of throwbacks: Ribbing the this-is-my-secret-mountain-don’t-you-dare-tell-anyone-it-exists-let-them-all-ski-at-Hunter attitude of his core skiers, Laszlo says, “OK, just tell one friend,” and then he mentions an old “and then they’ll tell two friends” shampoo commercial. This appears to be that commercial:A 1970s Brady Bunch-style version:And then Wayne’s World spoofed it:While I was alive for most of that and doubtless saw the commercial dozens of times while my mom was re-watching that day’s soap operas on our Betamax or whatever, I don’t remember it at all. But apparently it was cultural currency back in the day.The Storm Skiing Podcast is on iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Pocket Casts.

Kelly Halpin is a mountain runner with multiple fastest known times on some the toughest and most remote routes in the country. She specializes in solo, unsupported challenges in and around her home territory in Grand Teton National Park, and often combines her running with professional level rock climbing. In addition to running and climbing, Halpin is an accomplished snowboarder and horseback rider, and has worked as an artist and illustrator for companies such as ESPN, Powder Magazine, and Red Bull. Payson visited Kelly in her home in Jackson, Wyoming where they talked about art, the precautions required for solo wilderness adventures, the best type of saw for cutting off dead bison heads, and the time she literally ran into a black bear on an afternoon run. They recorded this episode directly after returning from a neighborhood rosé party, so at times the conversation style may seem even looser than normal.

Lynsey Dyer is a professional skier and filmmaker from Jackson, Wyoming. Following a career in competitive big mountain skiing, Lynsey went on to become a trailblazing star in many backcountry films, eventually moving on to directing and producing award winning films of her own.

Lynsey has also been a commentator for ESPN, starred in a reality TV show on Bravo, presented Ted Talks, and been awarded Female Skier of the Year by Powder Magazine multiple times. Payson sat down with Lynsey in her home to discuss her incredible dedication to setting a good example for young women (she's turned down opportunities with Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, and Playboy recently), the challenges of navigating all-male film shoots, the oxymorons and environmental challenges of her career, and her observations on why men are in desperate need of good role models. Lynsey also hosts her own podcast, "Showing UP."

Before sustaining a spine injury at the end of 2014, Jim Harris made his living from hard days in the mountains. After 6 years of teaching wilderness mountaineering courses, Jim began creating content in photo, video and written form, for clients like National Geographic, Camp 4 Collective, and Powder Magazine. That is, until he was paralyzed while snow kiting in Patagonia. It took over a week for Jim to reach definitive care in the States where five of his nine broken vertebrae were fused.After his spine fusion he began to wiggle a toe. Within a few months, muscles in both legs began firing. In the four years since that accident, Jim transitioned from wheelchair to walker to cane and continues to challenge the limitations of his disability. He is now mountain biking and backcountry skiing at a level most able-bodied individuals would only dream of. Be sure to stick around to the end of this one. It’s one of our favorite episodes to date.In this episode you’ll learn:Why you should aim high in adverse situationsThe difference between Type I fun and Type II funThe healing benefits of being in flow stateHow creativity of the arts and outdoors go-hand-in-handWhat it really means to be authenticTweetables:“In the absence of a prognosis in South America, in the absence of an expert opinion, I was like, ‘well, I’m just gonna aim high here, I guess.’”“It seems like so much of life satisfaction is about having your expectation line up with what actually occurs in life.”“I never saw myself as a professional athlete before I got hurt, but in hindsight I was usually getting hired for jobs because I could keep up with them.”“What came up time and time again, was marketing departments being like, ‘Oh, well, we hired you because we really like the authenticity that you convey.’ And that always made me uncomfortable because I don’t know how to deliver authenticity in a photo.”“One of the outcomes of being so helpless for weeks & months is that vulnerability stopped feeling very vulnerable.”Resources:Follow Jim’s Instagram accounts: Personal | ArtAdaptive Training FoundationHigh Fives Foundation: Instagram | WebLearn more about flow state in FLOW: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Jim Harris, is an absolute bad ass, there's really no other way to put it. He is an accomplished adventure photographer, athlete, and artist - and probably the most positive guy you'll ever meet. His work has been featured in Powder Magazine, National Geographic, and in the catalogues of many prominent outdoor brands.  Our conversation weaved in and out of topics like: recognizing opportunity when it knocks, finding your niche, embracing uncertainty, the curse of student loans, mental visualization, the importance of mentorship, and the state of the adventure photographer/journalist industry. Oh and we talked about one other really big thing. Three years ago, while snow kiting in preparation for a ski expedition in the Patagonia region of Chile, Jim was unexpectedly launched into the air and remembers thinking, “Shit, I hope I don't break my ankle, that will ruin the trip." He actually woke up paralyzed.  The diagnosis wasn't good - He had no feeling from the sternum down. After a long, hard, and scary road - his grit, determination, and optimism literally healed him. Trust me, you don't want to miss the whole story in his own words.

Team, when I was in Squaw Valley for the Spartan World Championships, I had the honor of meeting Kristen Ulmer who, for 12 consecutive years, was the world's top female big mountain extreme skiier. (My dream job!) From Wikipedia: Ulmer was on the US Ski Team for moguls in 1991. She also starred in over 20 ski movies, and was called by the ski media the best woman big mountain extreme skier in the world from 1990-2001. In 1997 Ulmer was also voted in a Powder Magazine ski industry survey to be the best overall female skier in the world, beating even Olympic gold medalists. She was known for jumping off up to 70-foot cliffs, throwing flips, and for ski mountaineering feats such as the first female ski decent of Wyoming's Grand Teton in 1997. An avid rock and ice climber, paraglider pilot, adventure cyclist, and kiteboarder, Ulmer was also voted by the outdoor industry in a 2000 Women's Sports and Fitness Magazine poll to be the most extreme woman athlete in North America, beating women in all sports disciplines not just skiing. She retired from professional athletics in 2003. Kristen has since written a book, The Art of Fear: Why Conquering Fear Won't Work and What To Do Instead.  So I could not pass up the opportunity to walk with her and ask her to share her story and big mountain wisdom with all of us. On a personal note, I'm really looking forward to staying friends with Kristen.  And I'm definitely looking forward to joining her on the slopes! Every Mogul Matters!

“Just do what brings joy to you,”-Ingrid Backstrom On this episode of the “Nausicaa Cast” podcast, presented by Powder Radio, host Hadley Hammer interviews Ingrid Backstrom, the most decorated big mountain skier of all time. The two talk about how professional skiing has evolved, snow safety, and motherhood—Backstrom recently gave birth to a daughter. Backstrom also reflects on her career. “I’m still pretty amazed that somehow I’m still skiing for a living,” says Backstrom. “It still feels like yesterday that I wouldn’t even tell people I was a professional skier because I was so nervous it would all go away.” Bio: After graduating from Whitman College, the call of the mountains drew her to Squaw Valley, California, to put in what she thought would be a year-long stint as a ski bum. However, it only took a few freeskiing contests for Ingrid to realize that she had found her niche. Without doubt, she would be calling the mountains home for a long, long time. Since then, she placed top three in 13 of 16 freeskiing contests entered and has been awarded Breakthrough Performance in 2005, 5-time Best Female Performance, and ten-time Reader Poll winner for her roles in 9 Matchstick Productions films at the annual Powder Magazine Video Awards, in addition to appearing in the 2007 documentary Steep, All.I.Can and Into the Mind by Sherpas Cinema, six Warren Miller films, and 2015‘s The Great Siberian Traverse by Powder Magazine and Sherpas Cinema. Her travels with The North Face have allowed her to make first descents in Baffin Island, Greenland, and 20,000ft Reddomaine Peak in China, as well as a ski descent of Denali. She was named one of 50 most influential action sports athletes in 2013 by ESPN. When she’s not skiing, Ingrid still stays outside as much as possible in her home in Leavenworth, Washington, running, biking, and gardening to relax and keep fit. Ingrid is grateful for the opportunities that her sport brings her, especially getting to travel and ski with “amazing people around the world.” Follow Ingrid: Instagram Facebook Watch

“There was a time when you believed anything was possible and I want to bring people back to that. And I think the mountains do that.”Lynsey Dyer Imagine being the very best in your sport. Undefeated, the future is bright indeed. But deep down the zero sum game of competition just doesn't sit right. Because for you, sport isn't about winners and losers. It's about play. It's about freedom. It's about love.But mostly it's about artistic self-expression.This is the story of Lynsey Dyer.One of the best big mountain skiers on the planet, Lynsey is an extraordinary and most unexpected athletic talent who walked away from competition at the peak of her potential to courageously blaze her own path. A unique path that has helped refine what it means to pursue sport professionally. A path based not on podiums but on adventure. Seeking joy. Empowering others. And expressing one's unique voice.Over the course of a decade long career, Lynsey has won every big mountain competition that she entered. She has also won several freesking competitions and awards including the 2004 International Free Skiers Association North American tour champion. In 2010, Powder Magazine awarded her Best Female Performance for her role in Magic Moments*. She has been awarded Female Skier of the year by Powder Magazine, was the first female to be on the cover of Freeskier Magazine and has starred in too many ski films to mention, including projects from legendary filmmaker Warren Miller.Lynsey has starred in or hosted television shows for NBC, ESPN, Bravo, The Ski Channel, Mountainfilm and Outside Television, has appeared on Good Morning America and even produced, directed and starred in her own film, the widely acclaimed Pretty Faces — an all female ski film featuring the best athletes from around the world that beautifully celebrates female empowerment and the transformative power of play. When she isn't crushing powder, Lynsey can be found running her non-profit SheJumps.org, which encourages girls and women to participate in the outdoors through mentorship, and her movie production and apparel company Unicorn Picnic.An unconventional badass, Lynsey is the personification of strength in femininity. A role model for young women across the world with an ethos I'd like my own daughters to emulate.This is a conversation about Lynsey's remarkable life. It's about female impact on a male dominated subculture. It's about courage in defying external expectations to follow your own unique path. It's about the joy and freedom that come from blazing a life of adventure.Simply put, it's a conversation about what it means to pursue sport as art.It was a pleasure connecting with Lynsey. I sincerely hope you enjoy the exchange.Peace + Plants,Listen & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Soundcloud | StitcherThanks to this week’s sponsors:Harrys.com: A superior shave at an affordable price.

Mattias Fredriksson är en av världens absolut största MTB- och skidfotografer. Hans bilder har varit en starkt bidragande orsak till att sätta Sverige och många svenska åkare på kartan. På grund av hans jobb befinner han sig på resande fot under stora delar av året och det har stundtals varit svårt att få fatt på honom, därför var det superkul att vi kunde träffas då jag var på inspelningsturné i Åre. Jag satte upp mikrofonerna i Holiday Clubs nya yogastudio med utsikt över Åresjön och med två koppar kaffe och vi började prata om hans extremt långa karriär med oräkneliga bilder och omslag för Åka Skidor, Fri Flyt och internationella magasin som Bike Magazine och Powder Magazine. Vi lyckas spela in ett extremt långt avsnitt då vi pratar om sin uppväxt i Småland långt från höga berg, om att börja med skidåkning och att som liten bygga om cykeln för skogsåkning. Om att göra egna tidningar och fanzines, börja jobba på den lokala tidningen och att tjata till sig ett reportage om den svenske skidfotografen Lars Thulin. Om Riksgränsen, om jobbet på Åka Skidor, om Åre, om döden i bergen och om skillnaden mellan att plåta skidor och cykel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The internet has done some great things for us. Especially as entrepreneurs, being involved in the digital community of outdoor sports aficionados and companies is an amazing way to build contacts and stay connected. But my guest today is taking using his internet platform to launch. . . . a print magazine! As Steve says, there are some things that just don't work as well online. Over seven years ago, Steve Casmiro started Adventure-Journal.com, an online magazine devoted to outdoor adventure. Using his experience editing Bike Magazine and Powder Magazine, he was planning to start this project in print. But, as we all know, 2008 was right when the recession hit and it was hard to get support for a new paper magazine.   Today, Adventure-Journal is a super exciting, inspiring and successful online journal. Steve's here for his second visit to the Intrepid Entrepreneur Podcast to talk about finally coming back to his original dream: a print Adventure Journal Magazine. The amazing first issue just came out this Spring!   Steve says that starting Adventure Journal online was great when he got ready to consider print again, because he already had a community of people interested in his product. Unlike when he started out in journalism, he wasn't stuck using mailings to drum up subscribers! And, he already knew what his readers would be interested in! He's spent years getting to know them.   Steve also knows how he wants the print magazine to be different from Adventure-Journal.com. He calls it a “luxurious reading experience”: lots of large pictures and plenty of room for the reader to engage with the story. Reading in ink and paper is a special experience, it should take you away from all of your devices and into an adventure. Steve is so passionate about this, he's not offering the magazine in any electronic forms. Starting a print magazine is a risky step but hearing Steve's excitement is inspirational. His vision for this magazine is so clear, and he's spent so many years honing in on it online. This episode is a must-listen for any of you with a dream project.     Bravery in Business Quote “I don't have to be that big, if I don't have to get to 10,000 circulation in the first year, I can just do the stories that I know are going to be the best stories” - Steve Casimiro (click to tweet)   Cliff Notes   AJ's slogan: The Deeper You Get, The Deeper You Get Online Adventure Journal publications mean that he  has spent the last 7 years building up a consumer base/ audience for sales of the print editions, as well as having a dialogue with readers about what they're interested in The website itself has evolved over the years and in relationship to the readers. Having an online publication/website gives you the chance to really get to know your readers and dialogue with them, but there are some stories that just don't work online. Also gives you time to prove to advertisers that your product is marketable, so they will come with you into print. Having a consumer base already means they don't have to count on losing money in the launch process, and have more editorial freedom, because there is no big publisher saying they have to hit 10,000 in circulation in the first year or go belly up. Using print to publish deeper, more thoughtful stories that require the reader to sit down away from their devices and experience them in paper & ink.  Printed stories will not be available in pdf online or in ereader editions. Only in print. Giving lots of space to the stories in print, so they have room to “breathe”. Most stories will get twice the pagination as in other magazines so its a “luxury reading experience” with lots of pictures. Going back to print is a big risk, but when Steve gets worried, he asks himself what the worst thing to happen could be, and it's failure. And he knows he's failed at many things before, and still survived. Some things work, some things don't.   “It would be kind of hypocritical if I spent all day every day writing and talking about adventure and I didn't take risks in my own business.” - Steve Casimiro (click to tweet) Resources Adventure Journal: Adventure-Journal.comPrint Subscription: Adventure-Journal.com/product/adventure-journal-quarterly-subscription/   Show Notes: IntrepidEntrepreneur.net/Adventure-Journal

How the citizens of Williamsburg encountered an attempt to disarm them similar to the citizens of Lexington and Concord.

“We want skiers to literally help save the world,” said Porter Fox, editor at Powder Magazine. Climate change has already impacted the length and intensity of winters and reduced snowfall means many of the nation's ski centers will eventually be forced to close, especially those at lower temperatures. Jeremy Jones, professional snowboarder and founder of Protect Our Winters, reminisced about a spot he revisited in Chamonix: “I used to be able to snowboard here.” This two-panel conversation first explores the science and personal experiences behind shorter winters, then looks at how ski resort CEOs are dealing with the problem. “If you're going to allow carbon emissions to be free, in the end nobody's really going to do anything,” said Mike Kaplan, president and CEO of Aspen/Snowmass. With the popularity of winter sports, the ski industry may be able to help communicate the impacts of climate change. “This industry gets it,” Kaplan said.
