As the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics draw closer, we're back in the world of ski mountaineering — this time with our first-ever Canadian SkiMo athlete, Aaron Robson! Battling the USA for Olympic qualification, Aaron is pushing hard to secure Canada a spot on the world stage. From adventures in the Rockies to representing Team Canada in track, mountain running, and now SkiMo, his journey is anything but typical. In this episode, he shares how he discovered the sport, why he's committed to growing SkiMo at home while chasing an Olympic dream, and the most unique fundraising scheme you'll ever hear. It's a conversation you won't want to miss!

Andrew Pollard is one of those kids that grew up at Alta and had the mountain as his babysitter/playground.  And while it took Andrew a little longer to become a name in the ski industry--compared to his pro skier friends and classmates, Andrew eventually made it to the top.  But what's different and cool about Andrew's story is that he's not just a skier; he's also, an artist, a DJ, freeride coach, and in the podcast, he has no filter.  All of this makes for a fun episode and Andrew's little sister Jackie asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Send us a textWhat does it take to choose the mountains when a different calling has your heart? We sit with Arc'teryx athlete Emma Cook-Clarke for a candid, high-altitude conversation about identity, risk, and the rare joy of sustainable excellence. Emma reflects on a season loaded with contrasts—top 10 in the world at the uphill and a historic team bronze for Canada, a Speedgoat podium in a record-fast year, and the sting of missing Olympic SkiMo qualification—then walks us through how she's rebuilding momentum by staying grounded in Canmore and training by feel.Emma's path didn't start on talus. Gymnastics built composure, rugby taught grit and trust, and running unlocked freedom. A local uphill challenge during the pandemic revealed world-class climbing talent and led to her Arc'teryx partnership—support that feels like true professionalism: wellness first, smart planning, and access to specialists. We dig into her decision to step away from structural firefighting, drawing clear lines from the fireground to the backcountry: risk a lot to save a lot, fight complacency, and communicate with purpose. That same mindset shows up on technical ridges, at chaotic VK starts, and when the watch tries to drown out intuition.You'll hear a tactical breakdown of World Champs VK strategy, the team dynamics behind Canada's first-ever medal, and a pacing masterclass from Speedgoat—altitude, heat, and humility yielding a steady engine and a late-race surge. We also celebrate the soul of skyrunning at Meet the Minotaur, where handbuilt trails and scree descents keep adventure alive, and we talk Rockies reality: bear spray, smart route choices, and a rare, unforgettable wolverine sighting that reminds us to look up and simply watch.If you're an athlete navigating big goals, a fan of skyrunning and SkiMo, or someone weighing a hard life pivot, Emma's story offers a clear compass: protect your joy, respect risk, and let the mountains reshape what success looks like.

Unlike many athletes, the Australian didn't grow up in sport, but after moving to Norway, a series of unexpected events introduced her to SkiMo, a discipline now on the cusp of its Olympic debut. Earlier this year, her path took a dramatic turn when she broke her leg at the World Championships in Switzerland, but Innika remains determined to keep chasing her Olympic dream. In this conversation, she opens up about how she discovered the sport, the challenges of recovery, and what drives her to keep pushing toward the Games in what is by far one of the most entertaining interviews we've ever had on this show! Don't miss it!

In recent years, technological advancements have permeated various aspects of outdoor sports, and skiing is no exception. The introduction of electric skis, particularly the innovative E-SKIMO, is revolutionizing the skiing experience by significantly enhancing uphill performance. This breakthrough technology combines the principles of electric bicycles with ski mountaineering, allowing skiers to ascend slopes with unprecedented ease and efficiency.How do Electric Skis Work?The core concept behind electric skis is to provide assistance that empowers skiers during uphill climbs. Traditionally, ski mountaineering, also known as ski touring or "skinning uphill," requires considerable physical exertion and stamina. However, with the integration of a battery, motor, and sophisticated sensors, E-SKIMO drastically reduces the effort needed to ascend. According to the developers of this technology, skiers can expect to travel uphill four times faster than they would with conventional skis. This remarkable speed enhancement is a game-changer for both recreational skiers and serious mountaineers, enabling them to explore more terrain in less time.The mechanics of the electric ski system are equally impressive. Each ski is equipped with a motor that drives a rotating belt, providing traction as the skier ascends. This innovative design allows for synchronized movement, with the motors communicating to ensure a smooth and efficient uphill experience. The lightweight construction of the components is another significant advantage, as skiers can detach the battery and motor once they reach the summit, reducing the burden during the downhill journey.Standing Out in the SnowOne of the most compelling aspects of electric skis is their ability to adapt to varying snow conditions and terrain. The E-SKIMO employs artificial intelligence to analyze factors such as snow type, slope steepness, and skier weight. This data-driven approach allows the skis to deliver power in a controlled and natural manner, maintaining balance and stability. The algorithm behind this technology is designed to ensure that skiers do not lose control due to excessive power, which is a critical consideration in a sport where balance is paramount.Durability is a key concern for any outdoor equipment, and the developers of E-SKIMO are focused on ensuring that the system can withstand the rigors of use. While the longevity of the belt system is still being evaluated, the aim is to make it last for several seasons, allowing skiers to enjoy the benefits of electric assistance without frequent replacements.The excitement surrounding electric skis is palpable among enthusiasts. Early users have reported positive experiences, with many expressing eagerness to return to the slopes and test the technology in fresh snow conditions. The potential for electric skis to enhance the skiing experience is not just about speed; it also opens up new possibilities for exploration and adventure in the mountains.Conclusion: An Unepected Way to Ski Using AIIn conclusion, electric skis represent a significant advancement in skiing technology, particularly for uphill performance. By combining electric assistance with sophisticated algorithms and lightweight design, E-SKIMO allows skiers to ascend mountains with greater speed and ease than ever before. As this technology continues to evolve and integrate into ski brands, it promises to transform the way skiers experience the slopes, making the sport more accessible and enjoyable for all.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Fussball: Im Kader der Damen-Nationalmannschaft standen unter anderem sechs Spielerinnen von Eintracht Frankfurt, sechs vom FC Bayern München und vier vom VfL Wolfsburg. Das sind nun mal auch die Topteams in der Frauen-Bundesliga. Da haben es andere Mannschaften und auch deren Spielerinnen schwer, ins DFB-Team zu kommen. Vor allem, wenn sie bei Klubs spielen, die nicht eine große Abteilung haben, wie z.B. in Frankfurt, München oder Wolfsburg. In der Liga gibt es nur zwei Vereine, die mehr oder wenige auf eigenen Beinen stehen müssen ohne die Strahlkraft eines großen Muttervereins: das sind Turbine Potsdam und die SGS Essen. Mit den beiden Essener Spielerinnen Laura Pucks und Paula Flach hat die „Sportstunde“ gesprochen, um mal die Stimmungslage in Essen-Schönebeck im täglichen Kampf gegen die großen Klubs zu checken! Skibergsteigen: Vom 02. bis zum 8. März 2025 wird die Region Dents du Midi in Morgins/Schweiz zur Bühne für die Weltmeisterschaften im Ski Mountaineering. Diese Sportart, auch als Skibergsteigen oder Skimo bekannt, wird tatsächlich nächstes Jahr olympisch. Es ist noch für viele eine ziemlich unbekannte Sportart. Und so heisst es diesmal in der „Sportstunde“: Nachhilfe in Sachen Skibergsteigen. Tatjana Paller ist Deutschlands Beste im Skimo und damit auch die beste "Nachhilfe-Lehrerin", die mal diese Sportart näher bringen kann.

[Publisert på Patreon 25. april 2024]Ola Hovdenak er en pionér når det kommer til fast-and-light-stilen til fjells i Skandinavia. Han begynte å samle på topper i Møre og Romsdal i ung alder, og har nå vært på samtlige 1180(!). I 2013 gikk han og kameraten, Nils Nilsen, alle de 7 såkalte konge-toppene i Romsdalen på én dag med ski på beina - 22.5 timer, for å være helt presis.Ingen hadde gjort dette tidligere, og det blir fortsatt sett på som mildt sagt ekstremt.På 2000-tallet satset han hardt på skimo og fikk da en Dynafit-kontrakt, som han faktisk fortsatt har den dag i dag i en alder av 51.Han var på randolandslaget på en god stund og la litt om etter 2010 da han begynte å konkurrere mer og mer i fjelløping.I 2011 vant han blant annet Hornindal Rundt, og siden har han vært i toppen på det meste. For bare noen uker siden deltok han på NM i randonee og kom på 2. plass i senior-klassen, rett bak et kjent navn, Eirik Haugsnes.Hva er hemmeligheten hans? Hvordan klarer han å holde på en så sylskarp shape i godt voksen alder? Det er ikke lenge siden han vant Molde 7 Topper, for eksempel. Mannen er en maskin!Jeg tok turen til Nesjestranda og gjorde et løpende intervju med gutten. Lenker:NEDA-hjørnet på Fjellsport.noFøkk Asfalt PatreonSupport the show

Chilean voters recently rejected an extremely progressive (and extremely long at 170 pages) constitution. It would have ensured animal rights, as well as rights to “neurodiversity” and “digital disconnection.” Ted Piccone of Brookings and the World Justice Project examines if Chile's new constitution was too progressive or just too long. Plus, can't we just enjoy the moment when the President went asking for a dead lady? And in the Antwentig, mo' Skimo than you ever hoped for.
