Skilager und Sportferien gehörten lange zur Schweiz wie Fondue und Ovomaltine, noch heute ist das Skifahren für viele Kulturgut. Über die Faszination und die Kehrseiten eines Sports, der die Schweiz geprägt hat. Noch immer verbringen in der Schweiz viele Kinder während der Schulzeit mindestens eine Woche in den Bergen, rund 35 Prozent der Schweizer Bevölkerung fahren regelmässig Ski. Und wenn Ausnahmetalente wie Marco Odermatt oder Lara Gut die Piste runterbrettern, fiebert die Nation mit. Wie wurde Skifahren zum Kulturgut? Und weshalb werden Rennfahrerinnen und Rennfahrer immer schneller: Liegt es am Material oder am Können? Zu Gast sind die Skilegende Bernhard Russi, der auch als Architekt von Rennstrecken die Skiwelt über Jahrzehnte geprägt hat, und die Schriftstellerin Antje Rávik Strubel, die einst Skilehrerin werden wollte und Langlauf als Übung des Denkens versteht. Olivia Röllin fragt, worin der Reiz des Tempos besteht, wie Hightech-Sport zur Idee der unberührten Natur passt und ob Hundertstelsekunden im Abfahrtsrennen punkto Können wirklich einen Unterschied machen.

The Ski Moms welcome legendary skier Wendy Fisher, whose name is synonymous with both Olympic racing and big mountain freeskiing. Wendy started skiing at age 2 in Squaw Valley (now Palisades Tahoe), chasing her older brothers down the hill. After losing one of her brothers in a tragic accident, she poured her grief into skiing—eventually making the U.S. Ski Team and competing in the 1992 Winter Olympics.Wendy opens up about the emotional toll of elite racing, how fear of failure held her back, and what finally pushed her to walk away at age 23. A soul-searching road trip led her to Crested Butte, where she entered her first big mountain contest and redefined the sport by skiing bold lines no woman had attempted before. She went on to become a two-time World Extreme Skiing Champion and star in iconic films by Warren Miller and Matchstick Productions.Now based in Crested Butte, Wendy shares how she's reinvented herself many times—becoming a mom of two, ski instructor, DJ, and event coordinator. She talks about teaching through Vail Resorts' “Ski with an Olympian” program and her ongoing love for skiing and community.Resources:Website: WendyFisher.meSki with Wendy: Available at Crested Butte and Epic Pass resortsDJ Services: DJ Red for events and weddingsAprès Ski: The Beckwith (formerly Elevation Spa), Crested Butte Mountain Resort base areaNotable Quotes:"I felt so much guilt for losing the love of skiing, because by the end of my racing career, I just dreamed of when I was 7 and skiing at Squaw, having fun, hitting jumps, playing.

Show Notes S4E1 Burnout isn't just a buzzword — it's a lived experience for many clinicians working in hospital settings. In the Season 4 premiere of Acute Conversations, co-hosts Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Danny Young are joined by Kelly Murphy, PT, DPT; Maria Tucker, PT, DPT; and Laura Cataldo, MOT, OT to unpack what burnout really looks like in acute care — and what can actually be done about it. Drawing from their published work in the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy and their experience leading a departmental burnout initiative at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the guests break down how burnout is defined, how it can be measured, and why it so often goes unrecognized until clinicians are already depleted. They explore the core components of burnout — emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment — and why acute care environments uniquely intensify each one. The conversation goes beyond awareness to action, highlighting both individual strategies and system-level interventions that can help clinicians reconnect with purpose while still navigating high-acuity, high-demand settings. From grounding techniques that work mid-shift to organizational changes that foster transparency, recognition, and trust, this episode offers a practical and hopeful framework for clinicians who want to keep showing up — without losing themselves in the process. Today's Guests: Kelly Murphy PT, DPT kamurphy0615@gmail.com Maria Tucker PT, DPT mtucker4@bidmc.harvard.edu Laura Cataldo MOT, OT lecataldoqu@gmail.com Guest Quotes: 11:14 Laura “ …in our research, it, burnout is not something that can be fixed by doing individual interventions alone. And in a setting such as a hospital, or other large organizations, you really have to focus on organizational changes as well to have an effect on burnout.” 26:21 Maria “… another like self-reflection piece is like, yeah, we’re burnt out, but also our managers and leadership and everybody, like they’re burnt out as well. … but realizing and saying, they can be burnt out and they are burnt out and we’re just experiencing a different area of burnout or a reason for burnout. But at the end of the day, we all have the same like kind of feelings.” 32:05 Kelly “ I think it just brought general awareness to how good it feels to remind our staff. Shout each other out or thank someone for their help thing. And then, gosh, I still, to this day, every day on my commute home on the train there’s one intervention that we talk about in here. Three good things. I still do that every day on the way home because I’m like, you know what? Even if this was the worst day ever and my patients. Really had a hard day all day. I can still choose three good things, even if it’s not patient care related.” Rapid Responses:  What’s your best stress relief activity on the weekends when you’re not working?  Ski and golf. Oh, we’re all answering…I like going for a walk with my dog. You know you work in acute care when… Laura “When your knee deep in bodily fluids” Maria “ When you have determined both your worst and best outcome for every single patient before you enter the room.” Kelly “ When you come down to lunch and different scrubs and you start out the day in… Or if you’re throwing away your sneakers, like it’s beyond just a bleach wipe.” Links: https://journals.lww.com/jacpt/abstract/2025/04000/assessing_and_managing_prevalence_of_burnout_in.1.aspx

Ski season is not immune to the impacts of climate change. This seasonal activity and other outdoor leisure activities will require adaptation to withstand warming Northeast winters. Dr. Caitlin Hicks Pries, associate professor of biological sciences at Dartmouth College, discusses her research on the surprising ecosystem impacts of snow loss. The Appalachian Mountain Club has also been studying how winter climate change is affecting outdoor leisure pursuits in the region, and their director of research Dr. Sarah Nelson shares what they've learned. We also hear from Dick Dreissigacker, co-director of Craftsbury Outdoor Center, on the center's unusual strategy for securing early-season snow.Broadcast live on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments, or tips?

The narrator of this song can't help telling dad jokes. But she's not a dad. Parody of Golden by Huntrix

Es geht wieder los! Weihnachts-, Neujahrs- und Geburtstagsglückwünsche – Frechheit – abgeschüttelt oder erfolgreich vermieden und voller Elan rein in die Rückrunde, den deutschen Winter und den Andersrum-Tag: Während Felix heute also mal zu spät kommt und sich noch die Berliner Kälte aus den abgefrorenen Fingern massiert, sitzt Toni bereits ungeduldig und voller Tatendrang auf der Stuhlkante und scharrt mit dem Mikro. Ihr habt's richtig gelesen: Erstens war Toni pünktlich und zweitens hatte er Geburtstag. Eventuell habt ihr es ja – wie Poet Felix – aus dem Internet eures Vertrauens erfahren. Doch statt, wie Felix, besinnliche Weihnachtsferien und den eigenen Geburtstag im trauten Heim zu verbringen, hat Toni die neugewonnene Freiheit eines Ex-Profisportlers genutzt und sich den Gefahren des winterlichen Extremsports hingegeben. Doch auch wenn Schneehase Toni seinen inneren Alberto Tomba gechannelt hat und vermutlich in früheren Jahren mehr Pommes statt Pizza auf die Ski gegeben hätte, siegte schlussendlich doch die Vernunft des inneren 36-Jährigen in ihm, und er entdeckte sowohl die Demut als auch den Vorteil ungebrochener Gliedmaßen für sich. Hat was! Erfahrene Alpinisten nicken anerkennend. Ob jetzt am Ende wieder wir Schuld am verlorenen Super-Copa-Finale und damit der vorzeitigen Entlassung von Xabi Alonso sind, weiß nur der Fußballgott – sollte es ihn denn geben. Wir sind zurück!

EMILY FISHER: BRINGING KIDS TO THE SPORTThe 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games left a legacy of venues across Utah. But they also left a culture that motivates kids to get into sport. Each winter, the Youth Sports Alliance in Park City leads thousands of boys and girls into winter sport. And today, YSA is bringing its expertise to Ski Utah's popular 4th Grade School Program. Last Chair sat down with YSA Executive Director Emily Fisher in the High West Studio to talk about the culture of winter sport in Utah, and how more kids than ever before are finding their way into skiing and snowboarding.Today, nearly a quarter century after the 2002 Games, new generations of Utah youth are finding excitement in winter sport – from speed skating to luge to skiing and snowboarding. Sure, it's the fun and excitement of sport. But it's also about the life lessons that sport teaches.“Really, it's the smiles and seeing how excited they are about skiing, about the culture, about being active in winter sport,” said Fisher. “I think if you're not exposed to it, it is easy to sit inside in the winter and to see these kids so excited to get outside, even when it's snowing, even when it's really cold, they're excited. They want to be part of this program, and their families want them to be part of this program. But just the smiles and the laughter make everything, all the hustle all year, worth it.”YSA's longstanding Get Out & Play program introduces kids to myriad different sports. It's a sampling program to give kids a sense of what they like to do. From there, they can pick a sport and engage in a local club. You never know where it might lead. At the upcoming Milan Cortina Olympics, local Utah athlete Casey Dawson will challenge for a speed skating gold, while Ashley Farquharson is a favorite in luge. This season YSA is taking on a new role, managing Ski Utah's 4th Grade School Program. In its 30 years, the Ski Utah program has introduced over 100,000 Utah kids to skiing and snowboarding.

Braga, King, and Ski talk The King of Staten Island, a movie loosely based on the life of Pete Davidson, starring Davidson, Bill Burr, and Marisa Tomei. He's good at sex, bad at decision making, has ADHD, and is full of trauma. Can he move beyond his past and grow up? Is it any good? Listen! 

This song is a love letter to Jim Hopper: small-town police chief, full-time dad, part-time monster decapitator, and walking OSHA violation in a Hawaiian shirt. It's got synths, keytar, mustache energy, and the unshakable belief that abs are optional if you punch Russians and glare at Demogorgons hard enough. Turn it up, eat your vitamins, and here's a public service announcement for you - don't mess with Jim.

I don't know about you, but the power of Taco Bell hits me sometimes after I enjoy items from their bountious (but still recovering from the deep item slashing of 2020) menu. That made me think, who needs a laxative when Taco Bell's a much tastier solution! So had to write a song about it. And since I wanted to try a lot of different styles for the debut album, I thought a foray into mariachi was perfect for this one (no latin/mariachi catagory in the drop down so picked pop!) I know there are several other funny songs about the Bell, but don't miss this hot fresh one! Video for this song.

President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully.  The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies).  The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well.  Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive.  Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24.  ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life.  What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5. Gear matters.Helmet alwaysProper lenses for conditionsRegular ski tuningCheck your bindings if your weight changes! 6. Ski with a buddy.Especially in trees, bowls, or sketchy conditions. My friend being there changed everything.7. Stay positive.This injury was rough. But it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful, healing, and counting the days until I'm back on snow—stronger, smarter, and maybe a little sassier.  Final Thoughts: Misadventure or Badge of Honor?At The Travel Brats, we believe travel isn't just beaches and cocktails—it's wipeouts, lessons learned, and stories that make you laugh later (like… much later).My ACL tear was painful, expensive, and humbling. But it taught me how resilient the human body (and spirit!) can be. And when I finally click back into my skis, I'll be ready—with sharpened edges, proper goggles, adjusted bindings, and a whole lot more patience for the unpredictable humans around me.Until then…Stay safe, stay adventurous, and ski smart, Brats. ❄️❤️⛷️

An absolute legend joining us today. If you were watching World Cup Cross-Country Skiing in the 2000s, you definitely remember Tobias Angerer—multiple World Cup wins, Olympic and World Champs podiums, and a key part of Germany's famous relay "dream team." Oh, and did we mention he was the very first Tour de Ski winner? The man literally polishes his trophy at home every day.This episode is full of good stories and real talk as the guys look back at the early days of the Tour de Ski and what it was like racing on the cutting edge of a new event. Tobias shares what made the German team so strong, why celebrating a win matters, and gives some honest thoughts on the current state of the sport—plus, you'll hear about his side gig as a DJ (seriously), the best afterparties, and who he'd pick for his dream golf foursome.

The Suffolk and Goode Players take on the Gig Economy in this parody of "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," an old English folk tune arranged by Martin Carthy and Paul Simon, who also added some lyrics and recorded it with Art Garfunkel. Our version had lyrics by Dale Leopold, Chris Mezzolesta arranged it and played acoustic guitar, bass guitar and virtual harpsichord and bells, and sung by Chris, Lori Furth and Karyn O'Bryant. Like the SandG version, there's a "Canticle" counter-melody that takes aim at the greed and callousness of those at the top. Enjoy!

// Fast drei Jahre ist Katharina Kneip aus Münster mittlerweile unterwegs. Zu Fuß und auf Ski. Wenn Meere auf ihrer Route liegen, sucht sie nach Segelschiffen, auf denen sie mitsegeln kann. Ihr Ziel: Auf einer nördlichen Route einmal um die Welt. Ich habe Katharina in Kanada erreicht. Ihre letzten Stationen: Island, Grönland, Neufundland. in wenigen Tagen geht es mit Skiern und Pulka in die verschneiten Wälder. Wenn das mal keine passende Weihnachtskulisse gibt! Katharina berichtet von ihrer wilden Querung des Nordmeeres mit einem rudimentär ausgestatteten Boot, von Eisbergen und tückischem Nebel, von einem funkensprühenden Gaskocher im Zelt und von Nächten in alten Scheunen. Es geht um die Freiheit, keiner Route zu folgen, sondern einen eigenen Weg ins Universum zu malen. Heute kannst du eintauchen in ein außergewöhnliches Abenteuer, eine Auszeit, die sich ein wenig länger zieht als die meisten, von der du aber auch das eine oder andere für dein Leben mitnehmen kannst, da bin ich mir sicher. // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Ich freue mich, wenn du den Podcast mit einem keinen Beitrag unterstützt!
