Story Transcript:Fr: Dans le charmant village de Chamonix, niché au cœur des Alpes françaises, les montagnes majestueuses commençaient à se dégarnir de leur manteau blanc, laissant apparaître un tapis vert parsemé de fleurs printanières.En: In the charming village of Chamonix, nestled in the heart of the French Alps, the majestic mountains were starting to shed their white cloak, revealing a green carpet sprinkled with spring flowers.Fr: Les touristes, enjoués par l'air frais de la montagne, flânaient dans les rues pavées.En: The tourists, delighted by the fresh mountain air, strolled through the cobblestone streets.Fr: Émile, avec un air de conquérant, se tenait devant une paire de skis plutôt élégants mais manifestement neufs.En: Émile, with a conqueror's air, stood before a pair of rather elegant but evidently new skis.Fr: "Aujourd'hui, Pierre, je vais t'apprendre à skier," annonça-t-il, convaincu qu'avec un peu de logique et de détermination, rien n'était impossible.En: "Today, Pierre, I'm going to teach you how to ski," he announced, convinced that with a bit of logic and determination, nothing was impossible.Fr: Pierre, dont l'enthousiasme débordait, regardait Émile avec admiration, ignorant lui aussi ce qui les attendait.En: Pierre, brimming with enthusiasm, looked up to Émile with admiration, also unaware of what lay ahead.Fr: Colette, les mains dans les poches, les suivait d'un pas mesuré.En: Colette, hands in pockets, followed them with measured steps.Fr: Elle secouait la tête, songeant aux aventures précédentes où son rôle de médiatrice était bien souvent sollicité.En: She shook her head, thinking of previous adventures where her role as a mediator was often called upon.Fr: "Êtes-vous sûr que c'est une bonne idée ?"En: "Are you sure this is a good idea?"Fr: demande-t-elle, sceptique.En: she asked skeptically.Fr: "Bien sûr, Colette !En: "Of course, Colette!Fr: Regarde, ce n'est pas compliqué," répondit Émile, tandis qu'ils se dirigeaient vers la pente des débutants.En: Look, it's not complicated," replied Émile, as they headed towards the beginners' slope.Fr: Les trois amis se préparèrent.En: The three friends got ready.Fr: Émile, d'un geste théâtral, mit ses skis et aida Pierre à faire de même.En: Émile, with a theatrical gesture, put on his skis and helped Pierre do the same.Fr: Colette, prudente, s'assura que les fixations étaient bien attachées.En: Colette, cautious, ensured that the bindings were securely fastened.Fr: Puis, la descente commença.En: Then, the descent began.Fr: Au début, tout semblait aller pour le mieux.En: At first, everything seemed to be going well.Fr: Mais rapidement, Émile peina à garder l'équilibre et percuta un panneau indiquant "Attention, débutants".En: But quickly, Émile struggled to keep his balance and collided with a sign indicating "Caution, beginners."Fr: Pierre, par réflexe, s'accrocha à Émile pour se stabiliser, ce qui eut l'effet inverse.En: Pierre, reflexively, clung to Émile to stabilize himself, which had the opposite effect.Fr: Ils tombèrent en une quinzaine de secondes, dans un enchevêtrement de skis et bâtons.En: They fell within fifteen seconds, in a tangle of skis and poles.Fr: Colette, qui avait prédit le désastre depuis le début, les rejoignit en glissant soigneusement.En: Colette, who had predicted the disaster from the start, joined them by sliding carefully.Fr: Elle ne put s'empêcher de rire.En: She couldn't help but laugh.Fr: Des touristes, ayant tout suivi de la scène, applaudirent cette comédie involontaire.En: Some tourists, having witnessed the entire scene, applauded this unintentional comedy.Fr: Enfin, au pied de la pente, Émile, le visage enjoué malgré les contretemps, déclara : "Eh bien, je pense qu'un vrai cours n'est pas une mauvaise idée !"En: Finally, at the foot of the slope, Émile, his face cheerful despite the setbacks, declared: "Well, I think a real lesson is not a bad idea!"Fr: Pierre riait aux éclats, ravi de cette mésaventure qu'il n'oublierait jamais.En: Pierre laughed heartily, delighted with this misadventure he would never forget.Fr: Colette, amusée, proposa : "La prochaine fois, on engage un moniteur, d'accord ?"En: Colette, amused, suggested: "Next time, we hire an instructor, okay?"Fr: Le trio se leva, s'épousseta la neige et, avec un grand sourire, se dirigea vers le café du village pour un chocolat chaud bien mérité.En: The trio got up, brushed off the snow, and with a big smile, headed to the village café for a well-deserved hot chocolate.Fr: Ils avaient peut-être échoué à skier, mais ils avaient remporté quelque chose de bien plus précieux : une journée remplie de complicité et de fou rire.En: They may have failed at skiing, but they had gained something far more valuable: a day filled with camaraderie and laughter.Fr: Au crépuscule, alors que Chamonix s'illuminait doucement sous les premiers reflets de la lune, Émile se promettait en lui-même d'être plus humble à l'avenir.En: At dusk, as Chamonix slowly lit up under the moon's first reflections, Émile promised himself to be more humble in the future.Fr: Pierre avait hâte de raconter cette aventure cocasse, et Colette était contente de faire partie de cette spirale amicale et joyeuse.En: Pierre couldn't wait to recount this funny adventure, and Colette was happy to be part of this friendly and joyful spiral.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Easter Awakening: Finding Peace on Planina Tare's Slopes Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-04-23-22-34-01-sr Story Transcript:Sr: На обалама планине Таре, у скровитом кутку где зеленило пролећне природе умирује срце, одржавао се духовни ретрит.En: On the slopes of planina Tare, in a secluded corner where the greenery of the spring nature soothes the heart, a spiritual retreat was taking place.Sr: Дрвене колибе окруживале су простор за медитацију, украшене традиционалним украсима за Васкрс.En: Wooden cabins surrounded the meditation area, decorated with traditional Easter ornaments.Sr: У дивљини је владао мир, али живот је ускоро требало да унесе промену.En: Peace reigned in the wilderness, but life was soon about to bring change.Sr: Милена, жена у тридесетим годинама, дошла је на ретрит у нади да ће пронаћи мир након бурног периода на послу.En: Milena, a woman in her thirties, came to the retreat hoping to find peace after a tumultuous period at work.Sr: Желела је да научи како да се ослободи стреса и прихвати рањивост коју је пред другима скривала.En: She wanted to learn how to release stress and accept the vulnerability she had hidden from others.Sr: Са друге стране, Владимир, свежи дипломац медицине, волонтирао је на ретриту.En: On the other hand, Vladimir, a recent medical graduate, was volunteering at the retreat.Sr: Надао се да ће својим знањем допринети добробити учесника и стећи драгоцено искуство пре почетка специјализације.En: He hoped to contribute to the well-being of the participants with his knowledge and gain valuable experience before starting his specialization.Sr: Али, дубоко у себи, сумњао је у своје способности.En: But deep down, he doubted his abilities.Sr: Док је православна литургија нечујно одјекивала из близине, група се окупила за припрему за медитацију.En: While the Orthodox liturgy quietly echoed from nearby, the group gathered to prepare for meditation.Sr: Мирис свежег ваздуха носио је у себи нешто неочекивано, што је сада претило да изазове хаос.En: The fresh air carried with it something unexpected, which now threatened to cause chaos.Sr: Изненада, Милена је почела да се гуши.En: Suddenly, Milena began to choke.Sr: Њено лице постајало је црвено док је хватала ваздух.En: Her face turned red as she gasped for air.Sr: Владимир је, с ауторитетом који није осећао, пришао.En: Vladimir, with an authority he did not feel, approached.Sr: Углавном опремљен са мало медицинског материјала, али са срцем пуним намере да помогне, запечатио је своје страхове и улогао све своје знање.En: Mainly equipped with a little medical material but with a heart full of intent to help, he sealed away his fears and applied all his knowledge.Sr: Милена је, суочена са хитном ситуацијом, морала да одабере да ли ће веровати Владимиру.En: Confronted with the urgent situation, Milena had to choose whether to trust Vladimir.Sr: Угушени звук њеног срца у једном трену уступио је место одлучној акцији.En: The muffled sound of her heart in one instant gave way to decisive action.Sr: Владимир је брзо применио меру прве помоћи, употребљавајући адреналин из прибора, молећи се да ће његове одлуке спасти Миленин живот.En: Vladimir quickly applied first aid, using adrenaline from the kit, praying that his decisions would save Milena's life.Sr: Минуте су се претвориле у вечност, али онда је Милена полако почела да дише нормално.En: Minutes turned into eternity, but then Milena slowly began to breathe normally.Sr: Његова интервенција је успела.En: His intervention succeeded.Sr: Захвалност и олакшање њених очију биле су награда за сваки његов труд, за све сумње које је надвладао.En: The gratitude and relief in her eyes were the reward for all his efforts, for all the doubts he had overcome.Sr: Учесници ретрита окупили су се око њих.En: The retreat participants gathered around them.Sr: Његова храброст и милост признали су сви, а Владимир је осетио како у њему расте нова снага и поверење у себе.En: His courage and grace were recognized by all, and Vladimir felt new strength and self-confidence growing within him.Sr: Милена, пак, схватила је да не мора све сама да носи и почела је отварати своје срце према другима.En: Milena, on the other hand, realized she didn't have to carry everything on her own and began to open her heart to others.Sr: Док се сунце спуштало за хоризонт, а са малене црквице зачуо глас звона, истина је сијала и унутар душа.En: As the sun set on the horizon, and from the small church, the sound of bells was heard, the truth shone within their souls.Sr: У новој сезони живота, Владимир и Милена пронашли су мир у својим улогама.En: In the new season of life, Vladimir and Milena found peace in their roles.Sr: Живот, оштро као планински ветар, оковао их је у тренуцима, учећи их да заједно плешу кроз изазове и славе добитке.En: Life, sharp as the mountain wind, bounded them in moments, teaching them to dance together through challenges and celebrate gains.Sr: Позадина планине Таре остала је мирна, њени брегови стари сведоци поновног рођења свих, спремни да дочекају нове душе са новим причама о рањивости, храбрости и поновном успону.En: The backdrop of planina Tare remained calm, its hills old witnesses of everyone's rebirth, ready to welcome new souls with new stories of vulnerability, courage, and resurgence.

Send us a textThe Bible urges us to tame our tongues but warns us that this is no small challenge. On this episode, we spent a few minutes as fellow strugglers squeezed into a confessional, swapping stories about some untamed moments and wondering aloud why the intoxicating appeal of another big laugh can shred our filters. As you reach the painful end of our transparent exchange, we hope you can embrace whatever animalistic stride God fits you with. 

Brandon Rodman is a serial entrepreneur and visionary leader recognized for his talent in establishing innovative companies from scratch. A native of Eugene, Oregon, Rodman earned a degree in Communications with a focus on Marketing and Advertising from Brigham Young University. His early career in sales, where he led large teams, sharpened his skills in leadership, recruitment, and strategy, laying the groundwork for his entrepreneurial journey.In 2008, during the peak of the economic recession, Rodman co-founded Weave (originally called Recall Solutions) from the attic above his garage. What started as a call center evolved into a groundbreaking customer communication platform aimed at strengthening patient-doctor relationships through integrated software, telephony, and CRM tools. Under Rodman's leadership, Weave became the first Utah-based company accepted into Y Combinator in 2014, a pivotal moment that propelled its growth. Rodman raised over $300 million in funding, expanded the company to nearly $100 million in annual recurring revenue, and guided it to a successful IPO on the NYSE in 2021. His employee-centric approach earned him widespread recognition, including a #4 CEO ranking in America by Glassdoor in 2019 with a 99% approval rating and the 2019 CEO of the Year award from Utah Business. Rodman stepped down as Weave's CEO in 2020, transitioning to Chairman of the Board, but his legacy as a founder who emphasized culture and innovation endures.After 18 months of exploring new ideas, Rodman launched Previ in January 2022, where he serves as CEO and co-founder alongside Gabe Gunderson. Previ aims to revolutionize consumer finance by offering a payment platform that provides 10-20% cash back on everyday expenses, paid directly from users' paychecks. Rodman describes Previ as his “life's work” from a business perspective, blending profitability with a mission to put more money back into consumers' pockets. Based in Lehi, Utah, Rodman continues to drive Previ's growth while drawing on lessons learned from Weave's challenges and triumphs.Rodman's leadership philosophy emphasizes psychological safety, employee empowerment, and the creation of environments where teams can thrive. He is married to Lindsay Rodman, with whom he has four children, balancing his professional ambitions with a commitment to family. His story is one of resilience—having once liquidated personal assets to keep Weave afloat—and reflects a relentless drive to build businesses that make a meaningful impact.Connect with Silicon Slopes: https://www.siliconslopes.comSocial:X - https://x.com/siliconslopesInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/siliconslopes/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/silicon-slopes/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8aEtQ1KJrWhJ3C2JnzXysw

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray  Utah's Silicon Slopes are still growing. And we often think of the "Slopes" as being the Draper/Lehi area. But other areas along the Wasatch Front are also growing their tech industries, including West Jordan. It was recently announced that a 100-acre data center for artificial intelligence will be built in the city, using one of the largest construction loans ever given to a data center. West Jordan Mayor Dirk Burton joins the show in studio to talk about this and other exciting tech developments in his city. 

Hosts: Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray  Pres. Trump announces 25% tariffs on automobiles, car parts It's likely that the price for a new vehicle could rise in the coming weeks. Yesterday, President Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles and car parts coming into the U.S. He says the move will push foreign car makers to build factories here in the United States. But will it? Hosts Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon share their thoughts on the impending tariffs.  Are Republicans worried about losing their U.S. House majority? Republicans have a thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. And reports say they're nervous about losing that majority should they lose some special elections. And just before today's show, President Trump announced that he was withdrawing current U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik's nomination to be a U.N. Ambassador, saying he didn’t want to take any chances. Leah thinks Republicans are worried; Rusty disagrees. Listen to hear their conversation.  Pending changes to elections on a national and statewide level Love it or hate it, elections processes are changing nationwide and here in Utah. This week, President Trump signed an executive order to overhaul U.S. elections in two ways: requiring proof of citizen to register to vote in federal elections and a mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day nationwide. Then yesterday, Governor Cox signed HB300 into law, making additional modifications to Utah's vote-by-mail system. Inside Sources both changes.  Tech developments in West Jordan Utah's Silicon Slopes are still growing. And we often think of the "Slopes" as being the Draper/Lehi area. But other areas along the Wasatch Front are also growing their tech industries, including West Jordan. It was recently announced that a 100-acre data center for artificial intelligence will be built in the city, using one of the largest construction loans ever given to a data center. West Jordan Mayor Dirk Burton joins the show in studio to talk about this and other exciting tech developments in his city.

The Ski Podcast is a UK-based podcast hosted by Iain Martin.With different guests every episode, we cover all aspects of skiing and snowboarding from resorts to racing, Ski Sunday to slush.In 2021, we were voted ‘Best Wintersports Podcast‘ in the Sports Podcast Awards. In 2023, we were shortlisted as ‘Best Broadcast Programme' in the Travel Media Awards.Why I interviewed himWe did a swap. Iain hosted me on his show in January (I also hosted Iain in January, but since The Storm sometimes moves at the pace of mammal gestation, here we are at the end of March; Martin published our episode the day after we recorded it).But that's OK (according to me), because our conversation is evergreen. Martin is embedded in EuroSki the same way that I cycle around U.S. AmeriSki. That we wander from similarly improbable non-ski outposts – Brighton, England and NYC – is a funny coincidence. But what interested me most about a potential podcast conversation is the Encyclopedia EuroSkiTannica stored in Martin's brain.I don't understand skiing in Europe. It is too big, too rambling, too interconnected, too above-treeline, too transit-oriented, too affordable, too absent the Brobot ‘tude that poisons so much of the American ski experience. The fact that some French idiot is facing potential jail time for launching a snowball into a random grandfather's skull (filming the act and posting it on TikTok, of course) only underscores my point: in America, we would cancel the grandfather for not respecting the struggle so obvious in the boy's act of disobedience. In a weird twist for a ski writer, I am much more familiar with summer Europe than winter Europe. I've skied the continent a couple of times, but warm-weather cross-continental EuroTreks by train and by car have occupied months of my life. When I try to understand EuroSki, my brain short-circuits. I tease the Euros because each European ski area seems to contain between two and 27 distinct ski areas, because the trail markings are the wrong color, because they speak in the strange code of the “km” and “cm” - but I'm really making fun of myself for Not Getting It. Martin gets it. And he good-naturedly walks me through a series of questions that follow this same basic pattern: “In America, we charge $109 for a hamburger that tastes like it's been pulled out of a shipping container that went overboard in 1944. But I hear you have good and cheap food in Europe – true?” I don't mind sounding like a d*****s if the result is good information for all of us, and thankfully I achieved both of those things on this podcast.What we talked aboutThe European winter so far; how a UK-based skier moves back and forth to the Alps; easy car-free travel from the U.S. directly to Alps ski areas; is ski traffic a thing in Europe?; EuroSki 101; what does “ski area” mean in Europe; Euro snow pockets; climate change realities versus media narratives in Europe; what to make of ski areas closing around the Alps; snowmaking in Europe; comparing the Euro stereotype of the leisurely skier to reality; an aging skier population; Euro liftline queuing etiquette and how it mirrors a nation's driving culture; “the idea that you wouldn't bring the bar down is completely alien to me; I mean everybody brings the bar down on the chairlift”; why an Epic or Ikon Pass may not be your best option to ski in Europe; why lift ticket prices are so much cheaper in Europe than in the U.S.; Most consumers “are not even aware” that Vail has started purchasing Swiss resorts; ownership structure at Euro resorts; Vail to buy Verbier?; multimountain pass options in Europe; are Euros buying Epic and Ikon to ski locally or to travel to North America?; must-ski European ski areas; Euro ski-guide culture; and quirky ski areas.What I got wrongWe discussed Epic Pass' lodging requirement for Verbier, which is in effect for this winter, but which Vail removed for the 2025-26 ski season.Why now was a good time for this interviewI present to you, again, the EuroSki Chart – a list of all 26 European ski areas that have aligned themselves with a U.S.-based multi-mountain pass:The large majority of these have joined Ski NATO (a joke, not a political take Brah), in the past five years. And while purchasing a U.S. megapass is not necessary to access EuroHills in the same way it is to ski the Rockies – doing so may, in fact, be counterproductive – just the notion of having access to these Connecticut-sized ski areas via a pass that you're buying anyway is enough to get people considering a flight east for their turns.And you know what? They should. At this point, a mass abandonment of the Mountain West by the tourists that sustain it is the only thing that may drive the region to seriously reconsider the robbery-by-you-showed-up-here-all-stupid lift ticket prices, car-centric transit infrastructure, and sclerotic building policies that are making American mountain towns impossibly expensive and inconvenient to live in or to visit. In many cases, a EuroSkiTrip costs far less than an AmeriSki trip - especially if you're not the sort to buy a ski pass in March 2025 so that you can ski in February 2026. And though the flights will generally cost more, the logistics of airport-to-ski-resort-and-back generally make more sense. In Europe they have trains. In Europe those trains stop in villages where you can walk to your hotel and then walk to the lifts the next morning. In Europe you can walk up to the ticket window and trade a block of cheese for a lift ticket. In Europe they put the bar down. In Europe a sandwich, brownie, and a Coke doesn't cost $152. And while you can spend $152 on a EuroLunch, it probably means that you drank seven liters of wine and will need a sled evac to the village.“Oh so why don't you just go live there then if it's so perfect?”Shut up, Reductive Argument Bro. Everyplace is great and also sucks in its own special way. I'm just throwing around contrasts.There are plenty of things I don't like about EuroSki: the emphasis on pistes, the emphasis on trams, the often curt and indifferent employees, the “injury insurance” that would require a special session of the European Union to pay out a claim. And the lack of trees. Especially the lack of trees. But more families are opting for a week in Europe over the $25,000 Experience of a Lifetime in the American West, and I totally understand why.A quote often attributed to Winston Churchill reads, “You can always trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the alternatives.” Unfortunately, it appears to be apocryphal. But I wish it wasn't. Because it's true. And I do think we'll eventually figure out that there is a continent-wide case study in how to retrofit our mountain towns for a more cost- and transit-accessible version of lift-served skiing. But it's gonna take a while.Podcast NotesOn U.S. ski areas opening this winter that haven't done so “in a long time”A strong snow year has allowed at least 11 U.S. ski areas to open after missing one or several winters, including:* Cloudmont, Alabama (yes I'm serious)* Pinnacle, Maine* Covington and Sault Seal, ropetows outfit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula* Norway Mountain, Michigan – resurrected by new owner after multi-year closure* Tower Mountain, a ropetow bump in Michigan's Lower Peninsula* Bear Paw, Montana* Hatley Pointe, North Carolina opened under new ownership, who took last year off to gut-renovate the hill* Warner Canyon, Oregon, an all-natural-snow, volunteer-run outfit, opened in December after a poor 2023-24 snow year.* Bellows Falls ski tow, a molehill run by the Rockingham Recreation in Vermont, opened for the first time in five years after a series of snowy weeks across New England* Lyndon Outing Club, another volunteer-run ropetow operation in Vermont, sat out last winter with low snow but opened this yearOn the “subway map” of transit-accessible Euro skiingI mean this is just incredible:The map lives on Martin's Ski Flight Free site, which encourages skiers to reduce their carbon footprints. I am not good at doing this, largely because such a notion is a fantasy in America as presently constructed.But just imagine a similar system in America. The nation is huge, of course, and we're not building a functional transcontinental passenger railroad overnight (or maybe ever). But there are several areas of regional density where such networks could, at a minimum, connect airports or city centers with destination ski areas, including:* Reno Airport (from the east), and the San Francisco Bay area (to the west) to the ring of more than a dozen Tahoe resorts (or at least stops at lake- or interstate-adjacent Sugar Bowl, Palisades, Homewood, Northstar, Mt. Rose, Diamond Peak, and Heavenly)* Denver Union Station and Denver airport to Loveland, Keystone, Breck, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek, and - a stretch - Aspen and Steamboat, with bus connections to A-Basin, Ski Cooper, and Sunlight* SLC airport east to Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, Brighton, Park City, and Deer Valley, and north to Snowbasin and Powder Mountain* Penn Station in Manhattan up along Vermont's Green Mountain Spine: Mount Snow, Stratton, Bromley, Killington, Pico, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, Bolton Valley, Stowe, Smugglers' Notch, Jay Peak, with bus connections to Magic and Middlebury Snowbowl* Boston up the I-93 corridor: Tenney, Waterville Valley, Loon, Cannon, and Bretton Woods, with a spur to Conway and Cranmore, Attitash, Wildcat, and Sunday River; bus connections to Black New Hampshire, Sunapee, Gunstock, Ragged, and Mount AbramYes, there's the train from Denver to Winter Park (and ambitions to extend the line to Steamboat), which is terrific, but placing that itsy-bitsy spur next to the EuroSystem and saying “look at our neato train” is like a toddler flexing his toy jet to the pilots as he boards a 757. And they smile and say, “Whoa there, Shooter! Now have a seat while we burn off 4,000 gallons of jet fuel accelerating this f****r to 500 miles per hour.”On the number of ski areas in EuropeI've detailed how difficult it is to itemize the 500-ish active ski areas in America, but the task is nearly incomprehensible in Europe, which has as many as eight times the number of ski areas. Here are a few estimates:* Skiresort.info counts 3,949 ski areas (as of today; the number changes daily) in Europe: list | map* Wikipedia doesn't provide a number, but it does have a very long list* Statista counts a bit more than 2,200, but their list excludes most of Eastern EuropeOn Euro non-ski media and climate change catastropheOf these countless European ski areas, a few shutter or threaten to each year. The resulting media cycle is predictable and dumb. In The Snow concisely summarizes how this pattern unfolds by analyzing coverage of the recent near loss of L'Alpe du Grand Serre, France (emphasis mine):A ski resort that few people outside its local vicinity had ever heard of was the latest to make headlines around the world a month ago as it announced it was going to cease ski operations.‘French ski resort in Alps shuts due to shortage of snow' reported The Independent, ‘Another European ski resort is closing due to lack of snow' said Time Out, The Mirror went for ”Devastation” as another European ski resort closes due to vanishing snow‘ whilst The Guardian did a deeper dive with, ‘Fears for future of ski tourism as resorts adapt to thawing snow season.' The story also appeared in dozens more publications around the world.The only problem is that the ski area in question, L'Alpe du Grand Serre, has decided it isn't closing its ski area after all, at least not this winter.Instead, after the news of the closure threat was publicised, the French government announced financial support, as did the local municipality of La Morte, and a number of major players in the ski industry. In addition, a public crowdfunding campaign raised almost €200,000, prompting the officials who made the original closure decision to reconsider. Things will now be reassessed in a year's time.There has not been the same global media coverage of the news that L'Alpe du Grand Serre isn't closing after all.It's not the first resort where money has been found to keep slopes open after widespread publicity of a closure threat. La Chapelle d'Abondance was apparently on the rocks in 2020 but will be fully open this winter and similarly Austria's Heiligenblut which was said to be at risk of permanently closure in the summer will be open as normal.Of course, ski areas do permanently close, just like any business, and climate change is making the multiple challenges that smaller, lower ski areas face, even more difficult. But in the near-term bigger problems are often things like justifying spends on essential equipment upgrades, rapidly increasing power costs and changing consumer habits that are the bigger problems right now. The latter apparently exacerbated by media stories implying that ski holidays are under severe threat by climate change.These increasingly frequent stories always have the same structure of focusing on one small ski area that's in trouble, taken from the many thousands in the Alps that few regular skiers have heard of. The stories imply (by ensuring that no context is provided), that this is a major resort and typical of many others. Last year some reports implied, again by avoiding giving any context, that a ski area in trouble that is actually close to Rome, was in the Alps.This is, of course, not to pretend that climate change does not pose an existential threat to ski holidays, but just to say that ski resorts have been closing for many decades for multiple reasons and that most of these reports do not give all the facts or paint the full picture.On no cars in ZermattIf the Little Cottonwood activists really cared about the environment in their precious canyon, they wouldn't be advocating for alternate rubber-wheeled transit up to Alta and Snowbird – they'd be demanding that the road be closed and replaced by a train or gondola or both, and that the ski resorts become a pedestrian-only enclave dotted with only as many electric vehicles as it took to manage the essential business of the towns and the ski resorts.If this sounds improbable, just look to Zermatt, which has banned gas cars for decades. Skiers arrive by train. Nearly 6,000 people live there year-round. It is amazing what humans can build when the car is considered as an accessory to life, rather than its central organizing principle.On driving in EuropeDriving in Europe is… something else. I've driven in, let's see: Iceland, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro. That last one is the scariest but they're all a little scary. Drivers' speeds seem to be limited by nothing other than physics, passing on blind curves is common even on mountain switchbacks, roads outside of major arterials often collapse into one lane, and Euros for some reason don't believe in placing signs at intersections to indicate street names. Thank God for GPS. I'll admit that it's all a little thrilling once the disorientation wears off, and there are things to love about driving in Europe: roundabouts are used in place of traffic lights wherever possible, the density of cars tends to be less (likely due to the high cost of gas and plentiful mass transit options), sprawl tends to be more contained, the limited-access highways are extremely well-kept, and the drivers on those limited-access highways actually understand what the lanes are for (slow, right; fast, left).It may seem contradictory that I am at once a transit advocate and an enthusiastic road-tripper. But I've lived in New York City, home of the United States' best mass-transit system, for 23 years, and have owned a car for 19 of them. There is a logic here: in general, I use the subway or my bicycle to move around the city, and the car to get out of it (this is the only way to get to most ski areas in the region, at least midweek). I appreciate the options, and I wish more parts of America offered a better mix.On chairs without barsIt's a strange anachronism that the United States is still home to hundreds of chairlifts that lack safety bars. ANSI standards now require them on new lift builds (as far as I can tell), but many chairlifts built without bars from the 1990s and earlier appear to have been grandfathered into our contemporary system. This is not the case in the Eastern U.S. where, as far as I'm aware, every chairlift with the exception of a handful in Pennsylvania have safety bars – New York and many New England states require them by law (and require riders to use them). Things get dicey in the Midwest, which has, as a region, been far slower to upgrade its lift fleets than bigger mountains in the East and West. Many ski areas, however, have retrofit their old lifts with bars – I was surprised to find them on the lifts at Sundown, Iowa; Chestnut, Illinois; and Mont du Lac, Wisconsin, for example. Vail and Alterra appear to retrofit all chairlifts with safety bars once they purchase a ski area. But many ski areas across the Mountain West still spin old chairs, including, surprisingly, dozens of mountains in California, Oregon, and Washington, states that tends to have more East Coast-ish outlooks on safety and regulation.On Compagnie des AlpesAccording to Martin, the closest thing Europe has to a Vail- or Alterra-style conglomerate is Compagnie des Alpes, which operates (but does not appear to own) 10 ski areas in the French Alps, and holds ownership stakes in five more. It's kind of an amazing list:Here's the company's acquisition timeline, which includes the ski areas, along with a bunch of amusement parks and hotels:Clearly the path of least resistance to a EuroVail conflagration would be to shovel this pile of coal into the furnace. Martin referenced Tignes' forthcoming exit from the group, to join forces with ski resort Sainte-Foy on June 1, 2026 – teasing a smaller potential EuroVail acquisition. Tignes, however, would not be the first resort to exit CdA's umbrella – Les 2 Alpes left in 2020.On EuroSkiPassesThe EuroMegaPass market is, like EuroSkiing itself, unintelligible to Americans (at least to this American). There are, however, options. Martin offers the Swiss-centric Magic Pass as perhaps the most prominent. It offers access to 92 ski areas (map). You are probably expecting me to make a chart. I will not be making a chart.S**t I need to publish this article before I cave to my irrepressible urge to make a chart.OK this podcast is already 51 days old do not make a chart you moron.I think we're good here.I hope.I will also not be making a chart to track the 12 ski resorts accessible on Austria's Ski Plus City Pass Stubai Innsbruck Unlimited Freedom Pass.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Well I'll tell that humiliating story when I'm ready.Why I interviewed him, by Erik MogensenI met Stuart when he was skiing at Copper Mountain with his family. At lunch that day I made a deal. I would agree to do the first podcast of my career, but only if I had the opportunity reverse the role and interview him. I thought both my interview, and his, would be at least five years away. 14 months later, you are reading this.As an accomplished big-city corporate PR guy often [occasionally] dressed in a suit, he got tired of listening to the biggest, tallest, snowiest, ski content that was always spoon-fed to his New York City self. Looking for more than just “Stoke,” Stu has built the Storm Skiing Journal into a force that I believe has assumed an important stewardship role for skiing. Along the way he has occasionally made us cringe, and has always made us laugh.Many people besides myself apparently agree. Stuart has eloquently mixed an industry full of big, type-A egos competing for screentime on the next episode of Game of Thrones, with consumers that have been overrun with printed magazines that show up in the mail, or social media click-bate, but nothing in between. He did it by being as authentic and independent as they come, thus building trust with everyone from the most novice ski consumer to nearly all of the expert operators and owners on the continent.But don't get distracted by the “Winchester Style” of poking fun of ski bro and his group of bro brahs like someone took over your mom's basement with your used laptop, and a new nine-dollar website. Once you get over the endless scrolling required to get beyond the colorful spreadsheets, this thing is fun AND worthwhile to read and listen to. This guy went to Columbia for journalism and it shows. This guy cares deeply about what he does, and it shows.Stuart has brought something to ski journalism that we didn't even know was missing, Not only did Stuart find out what it was, he created and scaled a solution. On his 200th podcast I dig into why and how he did it.What we talked aboutHow Erik talked me into being a guest on my own podcast; the history of The Storm Skiing Podcast and why I launched with Northeast coverage; why the podcast almost didn't happen; why Killington was The Storm's first pod; I didn't want to go to college but it happened anyway; why I moved to New York; why a ski writer lives in Brooklyn; “I started The Storm because I wanted to read it”; why I have no interest in off-resort skiing; why pay-to-play isn't journalism; the good and the awful about social media; I hate debt; working at the NBA; the tech innovation that allowed me to start The Storm; activating The Storm's paywall; puzzling through subscriber retention; critical journalism as an alien concept to the ski industry; Bro beef explained; what's behind skiing's identity crisis; why I don't read my social media comments; why I couldn't get ski area operators to do podcasts online in 2019; how the digital world has reframed how we think about skiing; why I don't write about weather; what I like about ski areas; ski areas as art; why the Pass Tracker 5001 looks like a piece of crap and probably always will; “skiing is fun, reading about it should be too”; literary inspirations for The Storm; being critical without being a tool; and why readers should trust me.Podcast notesOn The New England Lost Ski Areas ProjectThe New England Lost Ski Areas Project is still very retro looking. Storm Skiing Podcast episode number three, with site founder Jeremy Davis, is still one of my favorites:On my sled evac at Black Mountain of MaineYeah I talk about this all the time but in case you missed the previous five dozen reminders:On my timelineMy life, in brief (we reference all of these things on the pod):* 1992 – Try skiing on a school bus trip to now-defunct Mott Mountain, Michigan; suck at it* 1993 – Try skiing again, at Snow Snake, Michigan; don't suck as much* 1993 - Invent Doritos* 1994 – Receive first pair of skis for Christmas* 1995 – Graduate high school* 1995 - Become first human to live on Saturn for one month without the aid of oxygen* 1995-98 – Attend Delta College* 1997 - Set MLB homerun record, with 82 regular-season bombs, while winning Cy Young Award with .04 ERA and 743 batters struck out* 1998-00 – Attend University of Michigan* 1998-2007 - Work various restaurant server jobs in Michigan and NYC* 2002 – Move to Manhattan* 2003 - Invent new phone/computer hybrid with touchscreen; changes modern life instantly* 2003-07 – Work as English teacher at Cascade High School on Manhattan's Lower East Side* 2003-05 – Participate in New York City Teaching Fellows program via Pace University* 2004 - Successfully clone frozen alien cells that fell to Earth via meteorite; grows into creature that levels San Antonio with fire breath* 2006-08 – Columbia Journalism School* 2007-12 – Work at NBA league office* 2008 – Daughter is born* 2010 - Complete the 10-10-10 challenge, mastering 10 forms of martial arts and 10 non-human languages in 2010* 2013 – Work at AIG* 2014-2024 – Work at Viacom/Paramount* 2015 - Formally apologize to the people of Great Britain for my indecencies at the Longminster Day Victory Parade in 1947* 2016 – Son is born; move to Brooklyn* 2019 – Launch The Storm* 2022 – Take The Storm paid* 2023 - Discover hidden sea-floor city populated by talking alligators * 2024 – The Storm becomes my full-time job* 2025 - Take Storm sabbatical to qualify for the 50-meter hurdles at the 2028 Summer OlympicsOn LeBron's “Decision”After spending his first several seasons playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron announced his 2010 departure for the Miami Heat in his notorious The Decision special.On MGoBlog and other influencesI've written about MGoBlog's influence on The Storm in the past:The University of Michigan's official athletic site is mgoblue.com. Thus, MGoBlog – get it? Clever, right? The site is, actually, brilliant. For Michigan sports fans, it's a cultural touchstone and reference point, comprehensive and hilarious. Everyone reads it. Everyone. It's like it's 1952 and everyone in town reads the same newspaper, only the paper is always and only about Michigan sports and the town is approximately three million ballsports fans spread across the planet. We don't all read it because we're all addicted to sports. We all read MGoBlog because the site is incredibly fun, with its own culture, vocabulary, and inside jokes born of the shared frustrations and particulars of Michigan (mostly football, basketball, and hockey) fandom.Brian Cook is the site's founder and best writer (I also recommend BiSB, who writes the hysterical Opponent Watch series). Here is a recent and random sample – sportsballtalk made engaging:It was 10-10 and it was stupid. Like half the games against Indiana, it was stupid and dumb. At some point I saw a highlight from that Denard game against Indiana where IU would score on a 15-play march and then Denard would immediately run for a 70 yard touchdown. "God, that game was stupid," I thought. Flinging the ball in the general direction of Junior Hemingway and hoping something good would happen, sort of thing. Charting 120 defensive plays, sort of thing. Craig Roh playing linebacker, sort of thing.Don't get me started about #chaosteam, or overtimes, or anything else. My IQ is already dropping precipitously. Any more exposure to Michigan-Indiana may render me unable to finish this column. (I would still be able to claim that MSU was defeated with dignity, if that was my purpose in life.)I had hoped that a little JJ McCarthy-led mediation in the locker room would straighten things out. Michigan did suffer through a scary event when Mike Hart collapsed on the sideline. This is a completely valid reason you may not be executing football with military precision, even setting aside whatever dorfy bioweapon the Hoosiers perfected about ten years ago.Those hopes seemed dashed when Michigan was inexplicably offsides on a short-yardage punt on which they didn't even bother to rush. A touchback turned into a punt downed at the two, and then Blake Corum committed a false start and Cornelius Johnson dropped something that was either a chunk play or a 96-yard touchdown. Johnson started hopping up and down near the sideline, veritably slobbering with self-rage. The slope downwards to black pits became very slippery.JJ McCarthy said "namaste."Cook is consistent. I knew I could simply grab the first thing from his latest post and it would be excellent, and it was. Even if you know nothing about football, you know that's strong writing.In The Storm's early days, I would often describe my ambitions – to those familiar with both sites – as wanting “to create MGoBlog for Northeast skiing.” What I meant was that I wanted something that would be consistent, engaging, and distinct from competing platforms. Skiing has enough stoke machines and press-release reprint factories. It needed something different. MGoBlog showed me what that something could be.On being critical without being a toolThis is the Burke example Erik was referring to:The town of Burke, named for Sir Edmund Burke of the English Parliament, was chartered in 1782. That was approximately the same year that court-appointed receiver Michael Goldberg began seeking a buyer for Burke Mountain, after an idiot named Ariel Quiros nearly sent the ski area (along with Jay Peak) to the graveyard in an $80 million EB-5 visa scandal.Now, several industrial revolutions and world wars later, Goldberg says he may finally have a buyer for the ski area. But he said the same thing in 2024. And in 2023. And also, famously, in 1812, though the news was all but lost amid that year's war headlines.Whether or not Burke ever finds a permanent owner (Goldberg has actually been in charge since 2016), nothing will change the fact that this is one hell of a ski area. While it's not as snowy as its neighbors stacked along the Green Mountain Spine to its west, Burke gets its share of the white and fluffy. And while the mountain is best-known as the home of racing institution Burke Mountain Academy, the everyskier's draw here is the endless, tangled, spectacular glade network, lappable off of the 1,581-vertical-foot Mid-Burke Express Quad.Corrections* I worked for a long time in corporate communications, HR, and marketing, but not ever exactly in “PR,” as Erik framed it. But I also didn't really describe it to him very well because I don't really care and I'm just glad it's all over.* I made a vague reference to the NBA pulling its All-Star game out of Atlanta. I was thinking of the league's 2016 decision to move the 2017 All-Star game out of Charlotte over the state's “bathroom bill.” This is not a political take I'm just explaining what I was thinking about.* I said that Jiminy Peak's season pass cost $1,200. The current early-bird price for a 2025-26 pass is $1,051 for an adult unlimited season pass. The pass is scheduled to hit $1,410 after Oct. 15.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round. Join us.

Today… we're going skiing! And we're doing it in style in France, Switzerland, Italy, and other European destinations. I wanted to pull together this episode not only because skiing in Europe is an amazing cultural experience, but also because it's looking pretty darn good from a value perspective right now. The Euro and Dollar are currently on par and lift tickets and lessons are massively cheaper in Europe than in the US.  Our guests today are the brother and sister team, Rick Reichsfeld and Richelle Blanken. The duo grew up skiing competitively, both raced in college, and then Richelle even raced in the Olympics.

top of Holmenkollen.No: Nedover bakken ventet det spor han skulle mestre.En: Down the slope, the tracks awaited him to master them.No: Han så ut over dalen der høye furutrær dekket med snø strakte seg mot himmelen, som om de heiet ham frem.En: He looked over the valley where tall pine trees covered with snow reached toward the sky, as if they were cheering him on.No: Solveig sto ved siden av ham, pakket inn i en varm jakke.En: Solveig stood next to him, wrapped in a warm jacket.No: "Eirik, jeg håper du vet hvor mye jeg støtter deg i dette," sa hun forsiktig.En: "Eirik, I hope you know how much I support you in this," she said gently.No: Hun håpet de kunne tilbringe mer tid sammen, men hun visste hvor viktig denne konkurransen var for ham.En: She hoped they could spend more time together, but she knew how important this competition was for him.No: Magnus, Eiriks beste venn, varmet opp litt lenger borte.En: Magnus, Eirik's best friend, was warming up a little further away.No: Han hadde alltid vært i Eiriks skygge, men denne gangen ønsket han å skinne selv.En: He had always been in Eirik's shadow, but this time he wanted to shine himself.No: Han hadde en teknikk han hadde jobbet med, men spurte seg selv om han skulle dele den med Eirik.En: He had a technique he had been working on, but he asked himself whether he should share it with Eirik.No: Kanskje denne gangen var det hans tur til å stå øverst på pallen.En: Maybe this time it was his turn to stand at the top of the podium.No: Treningsdagene var harde.En: The training days were hard.No: Vinteren viste seg fra sin brutale

energi.En: Eirik fought against the forces of nature but noticed how it slowly drained him of energy.No: Solveig så bekymret på ham, men sa lite.En: Solveig watched him with concern, but said little.No: Hun ønsket å være den støttende partneren han trengte, men innerst inne lengtet hun etter mer enn bare en plass ved sidelinjen.En: She wanted to be the supportive partner he needed, but deep down, she longed for more than just a place on the sidelines.No: Konkurransens dag kom raskt.En: The day of the competition came quickly.No: Spenningen hang tungt i luften.En: The tension hung heavily in the air.No: Eirik visste hvor viktig dette løpet var for fremtiden hans som profesjonell skiløper.En: Eirik knew how important this race was for his future as a professional skier.No: Det ringet i startbjellen, og han kjørte i vei.En: The start bell rang, and he took off.No: Snøen sprutet opp bak ham.En: Snow sprayed up behind him.No: Mens han suste nedover bakken, traff plutselig tvilen ham.En: As he sped down the slope, doubt suddenly hit him.No: Gjorde han alt riktig?En: Was he doing everything right?No: Hva hvis han mislyktes?En: What if he failed?No: Eirik kjente frykten snøre seg om hjertet hans.En: Eirik felt fear tighten around his heart.No: Det var da Magnus' hemmelige teknikk dukket opp i sinnet hans.En: That's when Magnus's secret technique popped into his mind.No: Eirik tok en sjanse og prøvde det.En: Eirik took a chance and tried it.No: Med en følelse av lettelse fulgte han instinktene sine, og det fungerte.En: With a sense of relief, he followed his instincts, and it worked.No: Men da han krysset målstreken, var det ikke jubelen fra tilskuerne han la merke til.En: But when he crossed the finish line, it wasn't the cheers from the spectators he noticed.No: Det var Solveigs smil, stolt og kjærlig.En: It was Solveig's smile, proud and loving.No: Han hadde ikke vunnet førsteplassen, men det spilte ikke lenger noen rolle.En: He hadn't won first place, but it no longer mattered.No: Eirik hadde lært sitt livs viktigste leksjon – balansen mellom drømmer og de man elsker.En: Eirik had learned the most important lesson of his life – the balance between dreams and the ones you love.No: Han omfavnet Solveig, bestemte seg for å gjøre mer plass til henne i hverdagen.En: He embraced Solveig, deciding to make more room for her in everyday life.No: Magnus kom bort og klappet ham på skulderen.En: Magnus came over and patted him on the shoulder.No: "Bra kjørt, Eirik," sa han med et genuint smil.En: "Well done, Eirik," he said with a genuine smile.No: "Selv når du ikke vinner, er du fortsatt min beste utfordring.En: "Even when you don't win, you're still my best challenge."No: "Eirik smilte tilbake.En: Eirik smiled back.No: "Takk, Magnus.En: "Thanks, Magnus.No: Nå er det på tide å gjøre dette sammen.En: Now it's time to do this together."No: " Kvelden falt over Holmenkollen.En: Evening fell over Holmenkollen.No: Lysene fra hytta kastet en varm glød over snøen.En: The lights from the cabin cast a warm glow over the snow.No: Inne i hytta satt Eirik, Solveig, og Magnus, varme etter en god dag i bakken.En: Inside the cabin, Eirik, Solveig, and Magnus sat, warm after a good day on the slopes.No: Det var en ny begynnelse, der vennskap, kjærlighet, og drømmer var like viktige som seieren.En: It was a new beginning, where friendship, love, and dreams were as important as victory.

It is that time of year once again where bucks are shedding their antlers, and boots are hitting the ground to get out and search for those antlers. For a majority of hunters, shed season is an awesome time of the year, you get to hopefully find the antlers from your target buck, you may find sheds to a new buck, or you find new areas on a farm to hunt. If you are an avid shed hunter, then you have probably heard the phrase "miles equal piles". The real question is how much validity does that phrase have? Is it all about putting in miles for a ton of antlers, or are there other legit strategies?

Ryan DeLena and his dad Rob join Hersh to talk about labels, limits, and the true realization of potential on this episode of Truth Tastes Funny. When Ryan DeLena was five years old, he was placed in a therapeutic school that relied on detrimental methods of behavior modification such as physical restraint. He was heavily medicated and four years later, was voluntarily committed to a mental hospital for further evaluation. His parents Rob and Mary Beth were counseled to place him in a group home. They refused. Today, Ryan is the youngest person to ski tour in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, having completed expeditions in Antarctica (2018), Svalbard (2022), and Baffin Island (2023). He was featured on the cover of Backcountry Ski Maps, and he's climbed and skied peaks in Chile, Argentina, Oregon, Washington, and more. He graduated from Vermont State University in 2024.

Lairdinho discusses his lineup holes for the upcoming gameweek, and dives into how far he's willing to go to fill them given the need to get a positive return from his cards.

Journalism genius and podcast favorite Sam Sanders (Vibe Check, The Sam Sanders Show on KCRW) joins Laci to take down the latest scam hitting the ski slopes. While they may not agree on taking a spin on the ski lift, they're both all in for cozying up with drinks by the fire and rocking those snow bunny fits. Today's scheme has it all—Jay Peak, a snowy retreat just 20 minutes from Vermont; Green Cards; mountain makeovers; a man with chilling, soul-piercing eyes; Resorts World; and a sprawling biotech facility set to produce advanced medical devices from dialysis machines to artificial organs.

This week on The Mismatched Podcast, Kristin checks in from San Antonio, Texas, where she's attending the American Farm Bureau annual conference. She gushes about the city's charm, rich history, and famous Hotel Emma (spoiler: it's fancy!). Meanwhile, Danna holds down the fort back home, surviving icy roads and a fun weekend skiing at Holiday Valley—complete with liquid courage in the form of Fireball shots. Other highlights include a $35,000 Farm Bureau prize for Ohio, a cat saga involving litter box victories and faux pregnancy scares, and a truly harrowing tale of flying with a vomit-prone feline. Oh, and some questionable Airbnb pricing leads to a late-night family road trip instead of an extra night in luxury.

Transcript:It: Luca si svegliò presto quella mattina, con l'emozione che scorreva attraverso le sue vene come una tazza di caffè espresso ben fatto.En: Luca woke up early that morning, with excitement flowing through his veins like a well-made cup of espresso coffee.It: Era la sua prima volta in un resort sciistico, e non vedeva l'ora di scoprire cosa significasse sfrecciare giù per le montagne innevate.En: It was his first time at a ski resort, and he couldn't wait to find out what it meant to race down the snow-covered mountains.It: Le Alpi italiane lo abbracciavano con il loro splendore bianco e il cielo era di un blu splendente, promettendo una giornata perfetta sulla neve.En: The Italian Alps embraced him with their white splendor, and the sky was a brilliant blue, promising a perfect day on the snow.It: In compagnia dei suoi migliori amici, Giovanni e Marco, Luca camminò fino al punto di incontro per la lezione di sci.En: In the company of his best friends, Giovanni and Marco, Luca walked to the meeting point for the ski lesson.It: Giovanni, esperto snowboarder, già si vantava delle sue acrobazie sulla tavola, mentre Marco, con la sua calma caratteristica, annuiva sorridendo.En: Giovanni, an expert snowboarder, was already boasting about his stunts on the board, while Marco, with his characteristic calmness, nodded smiling.It: Luca, però, voleva solo riuscire a stare in piedi sugli sci senza cadere e soprattutto, impressionare i suoi amici con la sua "abilità nascosta".En: However, Luca just wanted to manage to stay on his skis without falling and, above all, impress his friends with his "hidden skill."It: Arrivati alla scuola di sci, furono accolti da Giulio, l'istruttore, con la sua giacca dai colori fluo e un'energia contagiosa.En: Upon arriving at

privata, convinto che ciò lo avrebbe aiutato a migliorare in fretta.En: Luca, a bit embarrassed, decided to step forward and request a private lesson, convinced that it would help him improve quickly.It: Ma con un buffo scambio di parole e un fraintendimento con Giulio, si ritrovò invece nel mezzo di una classe di bambini principianti.En: But with a funny exchange of words and a misunderstanding with Giulio, he instead found himself in the middle of a class of beginner children.It: I piccoli sciatori erano una visione adorabile, tutti con sci che sembravano fatti su misura per gnomi e un entusiasmo che superava il timore.En: The little skiers were an adorable sight, all with skis that seemed custom-made for gnomes and enthusiasm that surpassed fear.It: Luca tentò di

una scena presa da un vecchio film muto, con gente che gridava e tentava di evitarlo.En: It looked like a scene from an old silent film, with people shouting and trying to avoid him.It: Luca, trasportato dal suo stesso peso, si trasformò presto in una palla di neve umana, raccogliendo sciatori e ridendo inarrestabilmente mentre rotolava giù.En: Carried by his own weight, Luca soon turned into a human snowball, collecting skiers and laughing uncontrollably as he rolled down.It: Raggiunto il fondo della pista, tra risate e fiocchi di neve intrappolati ovunque, Luca fu accolto dall'applauso del suo "pubblico" improvvisato.En: Reaching the bottom of the slope, amidst laughter and snowflakes trapped everywhere, Luca was greeted by applause from his impromptu "audience."It: Marco e Giovanni arrivarono di corsa, più divertiti che preoccupati, felici di vedere che il loro amico era ancora in un pezzo, se non contiamo l'ammasso di neve che lo ricopriva.En: Marco and Giovanni arrived running, more amused than worried, happy to see that their friend was still in one piece, except for the mound of snow covering him.It: Mentre si toglieva la neve dai vestiti, Luca

day.It: Luca imparò che a volte, nella vita, è più importante divertirsi e godersi i momenti senza prendersi troppo sul serio.En: Luca learned that sometimes, in life, it's more important to have fun and enjoy moments without taking oneself too seriously.It: E così, mentre il tramonto tingeva la neve di sfumature dorate, Luca, Giovanni e Marco andarono a prendere un cioccolato caldo, ridendo delle avventure del giorno e già pianificando la prossima corsa.En: And so, as the sunset tinged the snow with golden hues, Luca, Giovanni, and Marco went to get a hot chocolate, laughing about the day's
