Innovative Ways to Offer Hybrid Working Environments. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Robert Wilkinson. Robert Wilkinson will help us understand what the 2022 office will look like. As business owners brace themselves for employees returning to work or formalizing a permanent hybrid environment in 2022, businesses could be finding themselves in a holding pattern over the next couple of months. In the U.S., Google recently announced that it won't be requiring its employees to return to the office as planned and will hold off past the new year to reassess when its employees can return to a “stable, long-term working environment.” So in the US, what will the office environment most likely look like in 2022? Is the hybrid working environment here to stay? Are employees now preferring to be back in the office? Will companies mandate workers to come back into the office? Robert Wilkinson, CXO of OfficeMaps, details the trends that they've been seeing in the market over the past few months and from their experience what will become prominent trends in 2022.

Daron Rahlves - 4 Time Olympian, King of Kitzbühel, and World Jet Ski Champion Episode #20 Brought to you by Ikon Pass  "To me, downhill is number one. It is the most thrilling, most dangerous, highest speeds, and biggest air. My top speed recorded was 91mph. The fastest ever recorded was 100.6mph by a French guy." - Daron Rahlves on The SnowBrains Podcast My guest today is four times Olympic skier Daron Rahlves. Daron was on the US Ski Team from 1993 to the year 2010. He has twelve World Cup victories, 28 World Cup podiums, three World Championship wins, seven US National titles, and in 2008 he was an X-Games gold medalist for skier cross. He's the only American in the World Cup era to win the Super Bowl of skiing; the Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbühel, Austria. Daron is also the only American to win the Super-G in Kitzbühel. Daron saw seven podiums in only five years in Kitzbühel which is unmatched in American history - Kitzbühel is just such a big deal. He has been to three Olympics as a ski racer, then one as a skier cross athlete. He was also the world jet ski champion in 1993. His Dad had the world waterski jump record at 158-feet back in 1964, which is insane! Daron has done the Baja 1000 motorcross race on a motorcycle in 2006, and took a terrible crash which he tells us about. In 2010, Powder elected him for 'Line of the Year' in their video awards, which is nuts. He's also been an athlete for TGR, MSP, Warren Miller, and Rage Films. Most of these he's just crushing big lines in Alaska and all over the world. Daron has been a Red Bull athlete since 2003. Daron grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, and now calls Truckee, CA home. "I had a run of hip dislocations. Six. It was brutal; it is a pain you do not want to experience. I ended up having surgery after my last one because I figured there was something wrong. I had these two that to me felt like something was wrong." - Daron Rahlves on The SnowBrains Podcast Please enjoy! *** This episode is brought to you by Ikon Pass: A brand-new season unlocked the promise of adventures ahead, and endless stoke on the horizon.

Angela Hawse - President of the American Mountain Guide Association | Brought to you by Ikon Pass Episode #19 of The SnowBrains Podcast “I was one of the rescuers first on the scene to a guy who had fallen over 1000 feet. Off of Fitzroy. And he survived to tell the tale which is remarkable. But it took us three days with an international rescue effort, and it took us three days to get this kid down from where he landed. He was unconscious the entire time. It was certainly a harrowing experience where there was considerable risk to the rescuers." - Angela Hawse on The SnowBrains Podcast My guest today is Angela Hawse - the president of the American Mountain Guide Association or AMGA. Angela has over 30-years of mountain guiding experience and is a fully certified IFMGA mountain guide. Angela is the 6th of only 11 women to have ever been fully certified in the USA. In 2011, Angela was awarded the "AMGA Guide of the Year". Angela is a senior instructor team member for the AMGA and was the first woman to join their elite group of instructors in 2006. She's been on the AMGA board of directors for over 10 years. She's been the lead guide for Ice Axe Expeditions Antarctica ski trip for the past four years. Angela also guides heli-skiing for Telluride Helitrax and she guides all over the world. As a minority in a male-dominated profession, Angela does her best to mentor and encourage other women getting into the outdoors and guiding. She was a former co-owner of Chicks Climbing and Skiing and has been a key player in their work teaching women self-reliance in technical mountain sports since 2000. Angela is engaged in inclusion and diversity work with the AMGA and several of her sponsors that are making positive change in the outdoor industry. In this episode, Angela & Miles discuss what it's like to be the president of the American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA), being selected as the AMGA Guide of the Year, inclution in the mountains, guiding all over the world, heli ski guiding for Telluride Helitrax, getting fully IFMGA guide certified, climbing Mt. Everest, Avalanches, climate change, and more. Angela Hawse answers these potent questions: There are only 138 fully certified guides in the USA and only 13 of those are women. Why does the USA have so few fully certified guides as opposed to Europe and other parts of the world? What has it been like being president of the AMGA and what has it been like being president during a major crisis like COVID? What can we all do to help be more inclusive in the mountains? Have you ever been in an avalanche? What happened? What evidence of climate change have you seen in your life? What's your biggest accomplishment in life? What challenges you most intellectually on a daily basis? What's your favorite book or books? More...

And so I do not look at comments on Instagram. Apologies to any thoughtful discussion that I miss out on. And that is due to the excessive, aggressive, trolling. Some of it professional trolls. You know the downside of that is that meaningful person and I do feel bad about that… My intentions are pure, they are backed by science. I'm fighting for clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet for future generations. How that makes me the worst person in the world in some people's eyes? I don't know. It is what it is and I refuse to let them alter my views or get to me... I feel deep down in my soul that we are on the wrong path, and this is what I really care about. I'm going to put that on Social Media. To not do that because I'm worried about a bad comment? I couldn't look myself in the mirror and I sure as shit couldn't look at my kids in the eye if I did that.” - Jeremy Jones on The SnowBrains Podcast Jeremy Jones is widely regarded as one of the best big mountain snowboarders on Earth. He was voted “Best Big Mountain Rider of the Year” by Snowboarder Magazine 10 times and he's starred in over fifty snowboard movies worldwide, including his own award-winning movie series that started in 2010 "Deeper, Further, Higher."

Dr. Michael Fischman M.D. - COVID Vaccine: When Will Ski Resorts Go Back To Normal? | Brought to you by Alta Ski Area Episode #17 of The SnowBrains Podcast Dr. Michael Fischman M.D., M.P.H., FACOEM is an occupational & environmental medicine physician and toxicologist. He serves as a consultant in these fields to large organizations such as Intel & Pixar. Dr. Fischman is a Clinical Professor in and Assistant Chief of the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Department of Medicine, at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Fischman received his medical degree at the University of Michigan and his master's degree in public health, in environmental health sciences, from the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!). He did his residency training in internal medicine and in occupational medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and is board-certified in both fields. Dr. Fischman is also my dad. Dr. Fischman guides us through where we're all headed with the COVID vaccines, how the vaccines work, what we can do to protect ourselves with and without the vaccine, and when ski resorts will return to normal. “Since the recording of this podcast on February 12, 2021, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been approved for US use, and is a single shot with 72% efficacy” Dr. Fischman answers these critical COVID questions: How do the COVID-19 vaccines work? How many vaccines are out there? Why do they require different numbers of doses? How effective is the vaccine against Coronavirus after only one dose? What percentage of the US population needs to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity? Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines claim around 90% efficacy, do you think that is holding true in the population of people who have been vaccinated? What about the new virus variants, such as the U.K. strain? How are our current vaccines doing against those? Do you recommend a particular vaccine? When are the vaccines going to be available to everyone and what can I do now to help protect myself from getting COVID-19 until I am able to get a vaccine? If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated? Do I still need to wear a mask and socially distance? Can I get COVID-19 from the vaccine? Are there any side effects? How is it possible that the vaccines have been created so quickly? Do you think any steps were missed? My understanding is that the fastest vaccine ever created was for the mumps and it took 4-years back in the 1960s. Why are we being told to continue to wear face masks and practice social distancing once we have received a vaccine? Will Coronavirus be eliminated by this vaccine or might it stay around and linger and become something akin to the flu or common cold? When do you think we'll be able to stop using masks at ski resorts?

Mark Staples - Director of the Utah Avalanche Center "27 Avalanche Deaths in Only 29-Days in the USA... Why Did the US Just See Its Deadliest Avalanche Cycle of All-Time?" Episode #16 of The SnowBrains Podcast *** This is another podcast that's gonna a little different. The USA just went through its deadliest avalanche cycle in history with 27 avalanche fatalities in only 29-days from January 30th, 2021 to February 27th, 2021. This terrible streak of avalanche deaths is very much affecting our mountain communities. My guest today is Mark Staples, the director of the Utah Avalanche Center who is here to talk us through what's happening in the Utah snowpack right now and why we are seeing so many avalanche fatalities & multi-victim avalanches in such a short time period in the USA. This podcast was recorded on February 22, 2021. Within an hour of recording this podcast, Mark had texted me an article about an avalanche fatality that occurred that very day in Wyoming. Since recording this podcast one other person passed away in an avalanche on February 27th, 2021 in Idaho. The USA has now seen 33 avalanche fatalities this season. We are now only 3 avalanche deaths away from the worst avalanche season on record. If the US continues seeing avalanche deaths at the current rate, the final total would be over 40 avalanche deaths this season. In this episode, Mark Staples tells us the Mill Creek avalanche story where 4 people perished in a deadly avalanche in Utah in February 2021. MILL CREEK AVALANCHE STORY “There were two groups one came from Big Cottonwood, and one came from Little Creek. They had actually done three laps down, so they'd put a total of 14 tracks on the slope, that's the slope that avalanched. So that gives you some sense of the nature of these avalanches. They were on their way back up, and they were going to head out. Near the top of the slope. Meanwhile, Another group of three had approached from the bottom… So this group of three was down below, and this other group was a group of five, but one of them opted out… Of that group at the top, that group of four, three of them are carried down and buried. The fourth person lunges for a tree, Grabs onto it, hits it so hard it knocks the wind out of him. He musta been on the uphill side. He somehow managed to hang on. Because this never happens. No one ever hangs on. He hangs on, is totally engulfed in the Avalanche, total blackness. Meanwhile, the avalanche goes on, and catches and buries the three people below.  So now you have six people buried in the avalanche when it comes to rest…  Steve and Chris head down to try to find everyone involved. The thing was, they didnt know there was another group below them. So they go down, they get their first beacon signal. They probe, they strike someone, they start digging, they uncover the first person, his name was Nate. As soon as they see who he is their first thought is “Who the heck are you?” They don't waste time. They get him out, they turn off his beacon… They start giving him instructions. “Get your shovel out, turn your beacon off, lets get to work” … Immediately they pick up Ethan, who was buried about two feet away from him. Chris and Steve, now with the help of Nate, who was unconscious just a few minutes ago, Dig out Ethan, unconscious but breathing… They get another signal, and this time, and this time its Chris's partner and Long time girlfriend, Sara. They dig her out, but she's unconscious and not breathing… Chris continues CPR on her while Nate and Steve go to look for the next person. They find the next person, start digging, and at that point, Chris joins them. Having to walk away from his partner, realizing that at this point CPR wasnt going to do any good, and there were other people still buried... They dug out six people who were all buried anywhere from two to six feet deep” Mark Staples told The SnowBrains Podcast" on February 22, 2021 Follow SnowBrains: SnowBrains.com Facebook: facebook.com/snowbrains Instagram: instagram.com/snowbrains Twitter: twitter.com/snowbrains Epidosde #16 | Mark Staples | Director of the Utah Avalanche Center "27 Avalanche Deaths in Only 29-Days in the USA...

The USA just went through its deadliest avalanche cycle in history with 16 avalanche fatalities in only 10-days from January 30th, 2021 to February 8th, 2021. I think it's really affected all of us in our community. My guest today is Dr. Ethan Greene, the director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center who is here to talk us through what's happening in the Colorado snowpack right now and why we are seeing so many multi-victim avalanches in the USA. Sadly, since Dr. Ethan Greene and I recorded this podcast on February 11th, 2021, 8 more people have died in avalanches in the USA bringing the total to 25 avalanche deaths in only 22-days in the USA - by far the deadliest avalanche cycle in US recreational history. 3 of these latest avalanche deaths occurred on Valentine's day, February 14th, 2021. Two of the Valentine's day avalanche fatalities were in Colorado. Then there was one avalanche death per day for 4 days right up until February 20th, when there were 2 avalanche deaths. There was one avalanche death on each of these days: February 16th, February 17th, February 18th, February 19th, and then 2 avalanche deaths on February 20th bringing the total to 25 avalanche deaths in only 22-days. We have now lost 31 lives to avalanches in the USA in the 2020/2021 winter season and it's only February 22nd. The USA averages 27 avalanche fatalities per season.

Bode Miller - The Winningest American Male Ski Racer of All-Time | Brought to you by Sun Valley Resort On Fear: “I don't think I have a lot of fear. I think I'm very respectful of the mountains and understand the danger that's inherently there. The unpredictable nature of being in the mountains and snow conditions and I think I have a healthy dose of awareness, but I wouldn't call it fear. It's more understanding that you're constantly putting yourself in environments that are unforgiving. Fear is more of a mindset. I don't consider myself afraid." - Bode Miller On Danger: “When I was eight, I was following two local ski bums who I guess I would call them my friends, but they were 20 years older than me probably. I don't know that they would have called me their friend at that time. But I just chased them around the mountain all the time. I watched a guy walk out of a pair of MRR bindings, old markers and go straight into a beach tree at like 50 miles an hour. No helmet. I was the first one there because I was just 200 yards behind him, and he was just exploded. His head was just apart, still bubbling breath. That was a pretty nasty eye-opener. He passed away while I was right there." - Bode Miller Bode Miller is the winningest American male ski racer of all time. Bode has won 6 Olympic Medals - 1 of them a gold medal. He's podiumed 79 times on the World Cup with 33 of those podiums being 1st place. He's won 2 World Cup Overall Titles. He's one of only 5 men in history to have won world cup events in all 5 alpine ski disciplines. And he's the only skier with five or more victories in each discipline. What I found out in this podcast is that Bode is a general all-around mountain badass who has been most everywhere and done most everything in the mountains including getting caught in gnarly avalanches, throwing misty 720s, and double front flips, and losing over 50 friends and acquaintances in the mountains. His stories are one of a kind and so is he. In this episode, Bode & Miles discuss skiing in the Olympics, skiing on the World Cup, losing friends in the mountains, throwing a 360º in competition, his "CBS 60-minutes" hung-over skiing controversy, the dangers of ski racing, and much more. Bode Miller answers these heavy questions: Which ski racing discipline is your favorite and why? How dangerous is ski racing? I've heard you say in the past: "I'm amazed more people don't die ski racing". What makes you say that? How do ski racers make money? Is a good system in place? I recently watched the movie "American Downhiller" and they really focused on the rivalry between Americans and Europeans in male world cup ski racing. What did you experience in your ski racing career in Europe? Are you the only ski racer in history to have thrown a 360º on the racecourse in World Cup competition? Are performance-enhancing drugs prevalent in ski racing? What was it like partying in the Olympic Village? Have you ever been in an avalanche? What happened? What's your biggest accomplishment in life? What challenges you most intellectually on a daily basis? What's your favorite book or books? More...

Adrian Ballinger - Climbing Mt. Everest & K2 Without Supplemental Oxygen | Brought to you by Alta Ski Area "I was heli-ski guiding in Alaska, and through a series of communications breakdowns between me my co-guide and my pilot, we ended up getting out of a helicopter my 6 clients me and a co-guide, and it turned out we were on top of a cornice. The cornice broke 18 feet back as the helicopter lifted off. Me and 2 clients were on the wrong side of that break and took an 1800- foot fall. The first 200 feet over cliffs, and then through a huge avalanche runout zone, two people buried, a bunch of broken bones between all of us, and really bad injuries. Took a long time to get comfortable around cornices again." - Adrian Ballinger "Made it really close. I was probably 400 vertical feet from the summit, at well over 28,500 feet. I got to the point where I couldn't feel my hands to behind my wrists, So I could no longer clip devices onto the fixed rope. So then I had to solo because I couldn't use the rope. I was still going up, and Im soloing, and I cant feel my hands, started to think about the consequences of frostbite when I have a girlfriend who is a professional rock climber. It still took a long time, but I did ultimately decide to turn around… Im sure thats what saved my toes and fingers." - Adrian Ballinger Adrian Ballinger's list of accomplishments is over-the-top. It's too much. Here are some of his career highlights. First person to ski Manaslu from the summit (6th tallest peak in world) Only American with 3 complete 8000m ski descents 4th American to summit Everest and K2 without supplemental oxygen (first in 25 years) 8 summits of Mt Everest, 13 seasons on the mountain, over 100 clients on top 17 total 8000-meter peak summits 6 total 8000-meter peak ski attempts Summited Mt. Everest twice within 3- weeks on 2 separate occasions Guided/led more than 150 international expeditions Founder of Alpenglow Expeditions, in 2004 Guided on Kilimanjaro (14 times by 4 different routes), Denali (by the West Rib), Alpamayo (14 times by 3 different routes), Cotopaxi (more than 30 times), and many other expeditions on many other high peaks all over the world. Ballinger has also led successful expeditions to more than 25 Himalayan summits over 6000 meters, including twelve ascents of Ama Dablam, which is a highly technical 6800m peak next to Everest. In this episode, Adrian & Miles discuss extreme skiing at extreme altitude, the best stories from Adrian's insane high mountain guiding and climbing career, summiting Everest without Oxygen, summiting K2 without Oxygen, avalanches, getting the IFMGA full certification in only 3 years, Alpenglow Expeditions, and much more. Adrian Ballinger answers these mountain-y questions: You were the very first person to ski 26,781' Manaslu from the summit - this is the 6th tallest peak in the world. What was that experience like and why had no one ever skied before you? In 2016 you decided it was time to try Everest without supplemental oxygen. You failed and you said you almost got yourself killed only hours from the summit. What happened there? How are you able to climb above 26K feet without supplemental oxygen? Is there something genetic or biologic about you that helps at altitude? You've spent so much time on Everest - I'd love to hear your perspective on the overcrowding of Everest and the effects that it's having. Please tell us a bit about the Sherpa people. What are they like and please explain exactly what they do. It sounds like without the Sherpa, climbing Everest would nearly be impossible. Why did you decide to climb K2 without supplemental oxygen? What are the Pakistani people like? What's the craziest or funniest thing you've seen on Everest? What's the scariest accident you've had in the mountains? Where's your favorite place to ski?

Got a couple of sleeping bags inside each other inside a bevy sack, and we grabbed this guy, peeled him off the snow.. and went high speed back towards I-80 where a Truckee fire ambulance was waiting… The ER physician invited us into the trauma room to help with the rewarming. He had a core temperature of 79 faranheit when he was admitted to the hospital, and he was slowly warmed up, he went kinda backward through the whole hypothermia thing. His temperature hit the low 90s he started shivering…spent one night in the hospital, was discharged the next day, no frostbite, no organ damage. He walked away! Amazing.” - Randall Osterhuber Randall Osterhuber is ridiculously well certified and qualified to do just about anything in the mountains and his accolades are too extensive to list them all here so I'm just gonna go with the highlights.

But it's [closing of the Horstman T-bar for summer skiing] certainly had to do with changes in the profile of the glacier.

Stick your head outside the car and nail a mailbox with your head and your neck. You can imagine how that would feel and that's what's gonna happen in an avalanche. 25mph is nothing, they'll be going 60mph." - Mark Staples Mark Staples is the director of the Utah Avalanche Center. Mark was a professional ski patroller at Big Sky Ski Area in Montana before earning a Master's degree in Engineering at Montana State University as part of their Snow Science Program. Mark wrote his thesis on the energy balance at the snow surface and weak layer formation. After grad school, Mark worked as a backcountry avalanche forecaster for the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center in Bozeman, Montana.

If you met someone who was planning on backcountry skiing or riding for the 1st time this season, what advice would you give that person? How fast do avalanches travel? Why is it important to report avalanche accidents and observation to your local avalanche center as soon as possible? Are big groups or small groups better in avalanche terrain? When is the most dangerous time to backcountry ski & snowboard in Utah? What percentage of avalanche accidents are caused by avalanches triggered by the victim or someone in the victim's party? How long can you survive buried in an avalanche? Does early season snow cause dangerous weak layers in the Utah snowpack that can last all season like it does in Colorado?

I blew those puppies right out! They were destroyed..." - Dr. William Montgomery M.D. Dr. Montgomery is an orthopedic surgeon at Dignity Health Medical Foundation in San Francisco, California. Dr. Montgomery has performed over 1,000 ACL surgeries in his career and was the team physician for the San Francisco Giants Baseball Team for 3 years in the late 90s early 2000s. Dr. Montgomery is the current team physician for the University of San Francisco. Ok, his resume is just insane... I'll paraphrase and just say that he has over 35 years of surgical experience, he's been the team physician for lots of important teams, he's been on many important boards, he's already in the University of San Francisco Hall of Fame, he's won lots of awards, he's in lots of impressive societies, he has over 20 publications, has given no less than 144 presentations lectures and labs on orthopedic surgery. Dr. Montgomery also performed ACL reconstruction surgery on my left knee and microfracture surgery on my left femur in 2015 after I experience a vicious ski crash in Japan that winter. In this episode, we will be discussing ACL injury and reconstruction. The ACL is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament of the human knee. The ACL is crucial in many important processes of knee movement and tearing it is a very common injury in cutting & pivoting sports such as skiing, basketball, soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and more. According to the University of Wisconsin, Madison: "There are four main ligaments that stabilize the knee. The anterior cruciate ligament is responsible for stabilizing rotational movements at the knee that occur during cutting and pivoting activities." Dr. Montgomery talks us through everything you could want to know about ACL injury, reconstruction, and recovery for athletes as well as everyday people. Dr. Montgomery answers these critical ACL questions: How do you know if your ACL has been torn? What was it like being the team physician for the San Francisco Giants baseball team? What are the odds of someone fully tearing the same ACL twice? Who blows their ACLs more: skiers or snowboarders? Why? Why do skiers blow their ACL's so frequently? Why are women more susceptible to ACL tears than men? After ACL surgery when can one return to skiing and snowboarding? When will one be back to 100% after ACL surgery? How important is it to have a physical therapist during your ACL recovery and for how long? How important is it to use a brace after ACL surgery? What is your #1 piece of advice for people recovering from ACL surgery? What should one be eating to maximize recovery? Who doesn't need their ACL replaced?
