John Leckie is one of British rock’s greatest producers, who started out as a tape operator at Abbey Road in 1970, thrown immediately into sessions for George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass and John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band. This interview, conducted live at The CAT Club in September 2025, focuses on Sunburst Finish, the Be Bop Deluxe album that gave Leckie his first official production credit, and covers both the making of the album and his creative partnership with Bill Nelson. Additionally, Leckie gives a first-hand account of Syd Barrett’s unannounced appearance during the Wish You Were Here sessions, an encounter he stumbled into while raiding Pink Floyd’s beer fridge, only for Roger Waters to stop the tape and ask who the stranger standing next to him was. The Q&A session draws out further stories about working with The La’s, the Stone Roses’ debut, and how XTC – who idolised Bill Nelson, led Leckie to leave EMI and go independent.

Picturehouse recorded their debut album, "Shine Box" which included Duncan's song "Fan Club" described by the music journalist John Walshe from Hot Press as among the best songs never recorded by the Beatles. The band continued to tour Europe the following year, supporting bands like Bon Jovi , Meatloaf and the Coors and in 1998 began work on their second album "Karmarama" for which Duncan wrote many songs including "Sunburst" which went on to become the band's biggest record. Duncan worked with the Irish band Pugwash and recorded a number of albums with them, as well as recording and touring as a solo performer. He also recorded with XTC.Duncan Maitland is our guest in episode 553 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he'd like to preserve and one he'd like to bury and never have to think about again .Follow Duncan Maitland on Instagram @duncan.maitland.101 .Follow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!

WhoRyan Brown, Director of Golf & Ski at The Mountaintop at Grand Geneva, WisconsinRecorded onJune 17, 2025About the Mountaintop at Grand GenevaClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Marcus HotelsLocated in: Lake Geneva, WisconsinYear founded: 1968Pass affiliations: NoneClosest neighboring U.S. ski areas: Alpine Valley (:23), Wilmot Mountain (:29), Crystal Ridge (:48), Alpine Hills Adventure Park (1:04)Base elevation: 847 feetSummit elevation: 962 feetVertical drop: 115 feetSkiable acres: 30Average annual snowfall: 34 inchesTrail count: 21 (41% beginner, 41% intermediate, 18% advanced)Lift count: 6 (3 doubles, 1 ropetow, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himOf America's various mega-regions, the Midwest is the quietest about its history. It lacks the quaint-town Colonialism and Revolutionary pride of the self-satisfied East, the cowboy wildness and adobe earthiness of the West, the defiant resentment of the Lost Glory South. Our seventh-grade Michigan History class stapled together the state's timeline mostly as a series of French explorers passing through on their way to somewhere more interesting. They were followed by a wave of industrial loggers who mowed the primeval forests into pancakes. Then the factories showed up. And so the state's legacy was framed not as one of political or cultural or military primacy, but of brand, the place that stamped out Chevys and Fords by the tens of millions.To understand the Midwest, then, we must look for what's permanent. The land itself won't do. It's mostly soil, mostly flat. Great for farming, bad for vistas. Dirt doesn't speak to the soul like rock, like mountains. What humans built doesn't tell us a much better story. Everything in the Midwest feels too new to conceal ghosts. The largest cities rose late, were destroyed in turn by fires and freeways, eventually recharged with arenas and glass-walled buildings that fail to echo or honor the past. Nothing lasts: the Detroit Pistons built the Palace of Auburn Hills in 1988 and developers demolished it 32 years later; the Detroit Lions (and, for a time, the Pistons) played at the Pontiac Silverdome, a titanic, 82,600-spectator stadium that opened in 1976 and came down in 2013 (37 years old). History seemed to bypass the region, corralling the major wars to the east and shooing the natural disasters to the west and south. Even shipwrecks lose their doubloons-and-antique-cannons romance in the Midwest: the Great Lakes most famous downed vessel, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, sank into Lake Superior in 1975. Her cargo was 26,535 tons of taconite ore pellets. A sad story, but not exactly the sinking of the Titanic.Our Midwest ancestors did leave us one legacy that no one has yet demolished: names. Place names are perhaps the best cultural relics of the various peoples who occupied this land since the glaciers retreated 12,000-ish years ago. Thousands of Midwest cities, towns, and counties carry Native American names. “Michigan” is derived from the Algonquin “Mishigamaw,” meaning “big lake”; “Minnesota” from the Sioux word meaning “cloudy water.” The legacies of French explorers and missionaries live on in “Detroit” (French for “strait”), “Marquette” (17th century French missionary Jacques Marquette), and “Eau Claire” (“clear water”).But one global immigration funnel dominated what became the modern Midwest: 50 percent of Wisconsin's population descends from German, Nordic, or Scandinavian countries, who arrived in waves from the Colonial era through the early 1900s. The surnames are everywhere: Schmitz and Meyer and Webber and Schultz and Olson and Hanson. But these Old-Worlders came a bit late to name the cities and towns. So they named what they built instead. And they built a lot of ski areas. Ten of Wisconsin's 34 ski areas carry names evocative of Europe's cold regions, Scandinavia and the Alps:I wonder what it must have been like, in 18-something-or-other, to leave a place where the Alps stood high on the horizon, where your family had lived in the same stone house for centuries, and sail for God knows how many weeks or months across an ocean, and slow roll overland by oxen cart or whatever they moved about in back then, and at the end of this great journey find yourself in… Wisconsin? They would have likely been unprepared for the landscape aesthetic. Tourism is a modern invention. “The elite of ancient Egypt spent their fortunes building pyramids and having their corpses mummified, but none of them thought of going shopping in Babylon or taking a skiing holiday in Phoenicia [partly in present-day Lebanon, which is home to as many as seven ski areas],” Yuval Noah Harari writes in Sapiens his 2015 “brief history of humankind.” Imagine old Friedrich, who had never left Bavaria, reconstituting his world in the hillocks and flats of the Midwest.Nothing against Wisconsin, but fast-forward 200 years, when the robots can give us a side-by-side of the upper Midwest and the European Alps, and it's pretty clear why one is a global tourist destination and the other is known mostly as a place that makes a lot of cheese. And well you can imagine why Friedrich might want to summon a little bit of the old country to the texture of his life in the form of a ski area name. That these two worlds - the glorious Alps and humble Wisconsin skiing - overlap, even in a handful of place names, suggests a yearning for a life abandoned, a natural act of pining by a species that was not built to move their life across timezones.This is not a perfect analysis. Most – perhaps none – of these ski areas was founded by actual immigrants, but by their descendants. The Germanic languages spoken by these immigrant waves did not survive assimilation. But these little cultural tokens did. The aura of ancestral place endured when even language fell away. These little ski areas honor that.And by injecting grandiosity into the everyday, they do something else. In coloring some of the world's most compact ski centers with the aura of some of its most iconic, their founders left us a message: these ski areas, humble as they are, matter. They fuse us to the past and they fuse us to the majesty of the up-high, prove to us that skiing is worth doing anywhere that it can be done, ensure that the ability to move like that and to feel the things that movement makes you feel are not exclusive realms fenced into the clouds, somewhere beyond means and imagination.Which brings us to Grand Geneva, a ski area name that evokes the great Swiss gateway city to the Alps. Too bad reality rarely matches up with the easiest narrative. The resort draws its name from the nearby town of Lake Geneva, which a 19th-century surveyor named not after the Swiss city, but after Geneva, New York, a city (that is apparently named after Geneva, Switzerland), on the shores of Seneca Lake, the largest of the state's 11 finger lakes. Regardless, the lofty name was the fifth choice for a ski area originally called “Indian Knob.” That lasted three years, until the ski area shuttered and re-opened as the venerable Playboy Ski Area in 1968. More regrettable names followed – Americana Resort from 1982 to '93, Hotdog Mountain from 1992 to '94 – before going with the most obvious and least-questionable name, though its official moniker, “The Mountaintop at Grand Geneva” is one of the more awkward names in American skiing.None of which explains the principal question of this sector: why I interviewed Mr. Brown. Well, I skied a bunch of Milwaukee bumps on my drive up to Bohemia from Chicago last year, this was one of them, and I thought it was a cute little place. I also wondered how, with its small-even-for-Wisconsin vertical drop and antique lift collection, the place had endured in a state littered with abandoned ski areas. Consider it another entry into my ongoing investigation into why the ski areas that you would not always expect to make it are often the ones that do.What we talked aboutFighting the backyard effect – “our customer base – they don't really know” that the ski areas are making snow; a Chicago-Milwaukee-Madison bullseye; competing against the Vail-owned mountain to the south and the high-speed-laced ski area to the north; a golf resort with a ski area tacked on; “you don't need a big hill to have a great park”; brutal Midwest winters and the escape of skiing; I attempt to talk about golf again and we're probably done with that for a while; Boyne Resorts as a “top golf destination”; why Grand Geneva moved its terrain park; whether the backside park could re-open; “we've got some major snowmaking in the works”; potential lift upgrades; no bars on the lifts; the ever-tradeoff between terrain parks and beginner terrain; the ski area's history as a Playboy Club and how the ski hill survived into the modern era; how the resort moves skiers to the hill with hundreds of rooms and none of them on the trails; thoughts on Indy Pass; and Lake Geneva lake life.What I got wrongWe recorded this conversation prior to Sunburst's joining Indy Pass, so I didn't mention the resort when discussing Wisconsin ski areas on the product.Podcast NotesOn the worst season in the history of the MidwestI just covered this in the article that accompanied the podcast on Treetops, Michigan, but I'll summarize it this way: the 2023-24 ski season almost broke the Midwest. Fortunately, last winter was better, and this year is off to a banging start.On steep terrain beneath lift AI just thought this was a really unexpected and cool angle for such a little hill. On the Playboy ClubFrom SKI magazine, December 1969:It is always interesting when giants merge. Last winter Playboy magazine (5.5 million readers) and the Playboy Club (19 swinging nightclubs from Hawaii to New York to Jamaica, with 100,000 card-carrying members) in effect joined the sport of skiing, which is also a large, but less formal, structure of 3.5 million lift-ticket-carrying members. The resulting conglomerate was the Lake Geneva Playboy Club-Hotel, Playboy's ski resort on the rolling plains of Wisconsin.The Playboy Club people must have borrowed the idea of their costumed Bunny Waitress from the snow bunny of skiing fame, and since Playboy and skiing both manifestly devote themselves to the pleasures of the body, some sort of merger was inevitable. Out of this union, obviously, issued the Ultimate Ski Bunny – one able to ski as well as sport the scanty Bunny costume to lustrous perfection.That's a bit different from how the resort positions its ski facilities today:Enjoy southern Wisconsin's gem - our skiing and snow resort in the countryside of Lake Geneva, with the best ski hills in Wisconsin. The Mountain Top at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa boasts 20 downhill ski runs and terrain designed for all ages, groups and abilities, making us one of the best ski resorts in Wisconsin. Just an hour from Milwaukee and Chicago, our ski resort in Lake Geneva is close enough to home for convenience, but far enough for you and your family to have an adventure. Our ultimate skier's getaway offers snowmaking abilities that allow our ski resort to stay open even when there is no snow falling.The Mountain Top offers ski and snow accommodations, such as trolley transportation available from guest rooms at Grand Geneva and Timber Ridge Lodge, three chairlifts, two carpet lifts, a six-acre terrain park, excellent group rates, food and drinks at Leinenkugel's Mountain Top Lodge and even night skiing. We have more than just skiing! Enjoy Lake Geneva sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing too. Truly something for everyone at The Mountain Top ski resort in Lake Geneva. No ski equipment? No problem with the Learn to Ride rentals. Come experience The Mountain Top at Grand Geneva and enjoy the best skiing around Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.On lost Wisconsin and Midwest ski areasThe Midwest Lost Ski Areas Project counts 129 lost ski areas in Wisconsin.

Cyberattacks against U.S. government employees surged by 85% during the recent government shutdown, with projections estimating over 555 million attacks by the end of November 2025. These attacks, characterized as targeted digital assaults rather than generic phishing attempts, exploit vulnerabilities during periods of financial stress, particularly affecting essential employees in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Justice. Experts warn that the implications of these cyber threats extend beyond immediate breaches, potentially undermining recruitment and trust in government institutions.In a related development, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to remove several cybersecurity regulations established after breaches by Chinese hackers targeting major telecommunications companies. This decision, made along party lines, reverses requirements for telecoms to enhance cybersecurity measures and submit annual risk management certifications. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr argued that voluntary efforts from carriers would be more effective, despite concerns from Democratic lawmakers about increased public vulnerability. Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its case against SolarWinds Corporation, which had been accused of failing to disclose vulnerabilities related to the 2020 Sunburst attack.The episode also highlights the growing complexity in the technology landscape, with vendors rolling out new identity tools and autonomous agents that increase operational challenges for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). OpenAI introduced group chats in ChatGPT, enhancing collaborative capabilities, while RSA launched RSA ID Plus for Microsoft, aimed at improving security in regulated sectors. TeamViewer unveiled TIA, an intelligent agent for autonomous IT support, and Sophos integrated its services with Microsoft Security Suite, further complicating the identity management landscape.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the need to establish a clear identity baseline and governance model amidst a rapidly evolving threat landscape and regulatory environment. As cyber threats become more targeted and regulations loosen, MSPs must proactively define their security standards and operational strategies. The increasing fragmentation of identity solutions and the rise of autonomous agents necessitate a focus on risk management and operational clarity to maintain client trust and ensure effective service delivery. Three things to know today 00:00 Targeted Federal Cyberattacks Surge as FCC Rolls Back Telecom Rules and SEC Ends SolarWinds Case, Leaving MSPs to Fill the Governance Gap05:42 Identity Wars, Agent Sprawl, and Rising Collaboration Expectations Put New Pressure on MSP Governance10:42 AI Isn't Just a Tool Anymore — It's Reshaping MSPs, Risk Strategy, and the Future of Agent MarketplacesThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and joining me is my co-host Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs.  Lois: Hi everyone! Today is the first of a two-part special on Oracle Cloud Success Navigator. This is a tool that provides you with a clear path to cloud transformation and helps you get the most out of your cloud investment. 00:52 Nikita: And to tell us more about this, we have Mitchell Flinn joining us today. Mitchell is VP of Program Management for Oracle Cloud Success Navigator. In this episode, we'll ask Mitchell about the ins and outs of this powerful platform, its benefits, key features, and the role it plays in streamlining cloud journeys. Lois: Yeah. Hi Mitchell! What is Oracle's approach to cloud technology and customer success, and how does the Cloud Success Navigator support this philosophy? 01:22 Mitchell: Oracle has an amazing amount of industry-leading enterprise cloud technologies across our entire portfolio. All of this is at your disposal. That, coupled with the sole focus of your success, forms the crux of the company's transformational journey. In other words, we put your success at the heart of everything we do. For each organization, the path to achieve maximum value from our technology is unique. Success Navigator reflects our emphasis on being there with you throughout the entire journey to steer you to success.  01:53 Nikita: Ok, what about from a business's viewpoint? Why would they need the Navigator? Mitchell: Businesses across every industry are moving mission-critical applications to the cloud. However, business leaders understand that there's no one-size-fits-all model for cloud development and deployment. Some fundamentals for success are your need to ensure new technologies are seamlessly integrated into day-to-day operations and continually optimize to align with evolving business requirements. You must ensure stakeholder visibility through the journey with updates at every stage. Building system efficiencies into other key tasks, which has to be done at the forefront when considering your cloud transformation. You also need to quickly identify risks and address them during the implementation process and beyond. Beyond the technical execution, cloud deployments also require significant process and organizational changes to ensure that adoption is aligned with business goals and delivers tangible benefits. Moreover, the training process for new features after cloud adoption can be an organization wide initiative that needs special attention. These requirements or more can be addressed through Oracle Cloud Success Navigator, which is a new interactive digital platform to guide you through all stages of your cloud journey. 03:09 Lois: Mitchell, how does Cloud Success Navigator platform enhance the user experience? How does it support customers at different stages of their cloud journey? Mitchell: Platform is included for free for all cloud application customers. And core to Success Navigator is the goal of increasing transparency among customers, partners in the Oracle team, from project kickoff through quarterly releases. Included in the platform are implementation best practices, Oracle Modern Best Practices focused on solutions provided by our applications, and guidance on living within the cloud.   Success Navigator supports you for every stage of your Oracle journey. You can first get your bearings and understand what's possible with your cloud solution using preconfigured starter environments to support your design decisions. It helps you chart a proven course by providing access to Oracle expertise and Oracle Modern Best Practices, so you can use cloud quality standards to guide your implementation approach. You can find value from quarterly releases using AI assistants and preview environments to experience and adopt latest features that matter to you. And you can blaze new trails by building your own cloud roadmap based on your organization's goals, keeping you focused on the capabilities you need for day-to-day and the road ahead. 04:24 Nikita: How does the Navigator cater to the needs of all the different customers? Mitchell: For customers just getting started with Oracle implementations, Navigator provides a framework with success criteria for each stakeholder involved in the implementation, and provides recommended milestones and checklists to keep everyone on track. For existing customers and experienced cloud customers thriving in the cloud, it provides contextually relevant insights based on your cloud landscape. It prepares you for quarterly releases and preview environments, and enables the use of AI and optimization within your cloud investment. For our partners, it allows Oracle to work in a collaborative way to really team up for our customers. Navigator gives transparency to all stakeholders and helps determine what success criteria we should be thinking about at each milestone phase of the journey. And it also helps customers and partners get more out of their Oracle investment through a seamless process. 05:20 Lois: Right. Mitchell, can you elaborate on the use cases of the platform? How does it address challenges and requirements during cloud implementations? Mitchell: We can create transparency and alignment between you, your partner, and the Oracle team using shared view of progress measured through standard criteria. We can incorporate recommended key milestones and activities to help you visualize and measure your progress. And we can use built-in assessments, remove risk, and ask the right questions at the right time to make the right implementation decisions for your organization. Additionally, we can use Starter Configuration, which allows you to experience the latest capabilities and leading practices to enrich design decisions for your organization with Starter Configuration. This can activate Starter Configuration early in your journey to understand what delivered capability can do for you. It allows you to evaluate modern best practices to determine how your design process can work in the future. And it empowers and educates your organization by interacting with real capability, using real processes to make the right decisions for your cloud implementation. You're able to access new features in Fusion updates. You can do this to learn what you need to know about new features in a one-stop shop and connect your company in a compelling capacity. You can find, familiarize, and prioritize new and existing features in one place. And you can experience new features in hands-on preview environments available with you with each quarterly release. You can explore new theme-based approaches using adoption centers for AI and Redwood to understand where to start and how to get there. And you can understand innovation opportunities based on business processes, data insights, and industry benchmarks. 07:01 Nikita: Now that we've covered the basics, can you walk us through some of the key features of the platform? Let's start with the Home page. Mitchell: This is the starting point of the customer journey and the central location for everything Navigator has to offer, including best practice content. You'll find content focused on implementation phase, the innovation phase, and administrative elements like the team structure, program and projects, and other relevant tips and tricks. Cloud Quality Standards provides learning content and checklists for successful business transformation. This helps support the effective adoption and adherence to Cloud Quality Standards and enables individuals to leverage AI and predictive insights. The feature Sunburst allows capability for features to be reviewed in an interactive graphic, illustrating new features by pillar, other attributes, which enable customers to review features curated to identify and adopt new features that meet their needs. It helps you understand recommended features across your application base based off of a production profile, covering mandatory adoption requirements, efficiency gains, innovation capabilities like AI and Redwood to drive business change. Next is the Adoption Center, which addresses the need of our existing and implementing customers. It covers the concept of how Redwood is an imperative for our application customers, what it means, and how, and when we could translate some of the requirements to a business user or an IT user. Roadmap is an opportunity for the team to evaluate which features are most interesting at any given moment, the items that they would like to adopt next, and save features or items that they might require later. 08:36 Lois: That's great. Mitchell, I know we have two new features rolling out in 2025. Can you tell us a little bit about them? Mitchell: Preview Environment. This allows users to explore new features and orderly release through a shared environment by logging into Navigator, eliminating potential regression needs, data adjustments and loads, and other common pre-work. You can explore the feature directly with the support of Oracle Guided Learning. The second additional feature for 2025 is AI Assist. We've taken everything within Navigator and trained an LLM to provide customers the ability to inquire about best practices, solutions, and features within the applications and ultimately make them smarter as they prepare for areas like design workshops, quarterly release readiness, and engaging across our overall Oracle team. Customers can use, share, and apply Oracle content knowledge to their day-to-day responsibilities. 09:32 Have you mastered the basics of AI? Are you ready to take your skills to the next level? Unlock the potential of advanced AI with our OCI Generative AI Professional course and certification that covers topics like Large Language Models, the OCI Generative AI Service, and building Q&A chatbots for real-world applications. Head over to mylearn.oracle.com and find out more.  10:01 Nikita: Welcome back! Mitchell, how can I get started with the Navigator? Mitchell: To request customer access to Success Navigator's environment, you need to submit a request form via the Success Navigator page on oracle.com.  You need to be able to provide your customer support identifier with the help icon around the CSI number. If you don't have your CSI number, you can still submit your request and a member of the Success Navigator team will reach out and coordinate with you to understand the information that's required. Once access is granted, you'll receive a welcome email to Oracle Cloud Success Navigator. 10:35 Lois: Alright, and after that's done? Mitchell: Before implementing Oracle Cloud Applications in your organization, you need to think of a structure that helps you organize and manage that implementation. To implement a solution footprint for a relatively small organization operating in a single country, and with an implementation time of only a few months, defining a single project might be a good enough organization to manage the implementation. For example, if you're implementing Core Human Capital Management applications, you could define a single project for that. But if you're implementing a broad solution footprint for a large business across multiple organizational entities in multiple countries, and with an implementation time of several years, a single project isn't enough. In such cases, organizations typically define a structure of a program with multiple underlying projects that reflect the scope, approach, timelines of business transformation. For example, you're implementing both HCM and ERP applications in a two-phased approach. You might decide to define a program with two underlying projects, one for HCM and one for ERP. For large, international business transformations, you can define multiple programs, each with multiple underlying projects. For example, you might first need to define a global design for a common way of working with HCM and then start rolling out that global design to individual countries. In such a scenario, you might define a program called HCM Transformation with a first project for global design, followed by multiple projects associated with individual countries. You could do the same for ERP. 12:16 Nikita: Mitchell, we've mentioned “cloud journey” a few times in this conversation, but can you tell us a little more about it? How can teams use it to guide their work? Mitchell: The main purpose of Oracle's cloud journey is to provide leading practices and actionable guidance to customers and implementation partners for successful implementations, operations within the cloud, and innovation through Oracle Cloud solutions. These are defined in terms of stages, activities, topics, and milestones. They focus on, how do you do the right things at the right time the first time. For customers, implementation partners in the cloud journey, this allows us to facilitate collaboration and transparency, accelerate the journey, and visualize and measure our progress. 12:59 Lois: We'll stop here for today. Join us next week as we continue our discussion on Oracle Cloud Success Navigator.  Nikita: And if want to look at some demos of everything we touched upon today, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and take a look at the Oracle Cloud Success Navigator Essentials course. Until next time, this is Nikita Abraham… Lois: And Lois Houston, signing off! 13:22 That's all for this episode of the Oracle University Podcast.

In this Chats on the Road to RSAC 2025, , Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli connect with Tim Brown, Chief Information Security Officer at SolarWinds, to unpack the critical issues facing CISOs today—and why the role remains worth pursuing.Brown is participating in multiple sessions at RSAC Conference 2025, including the CISO Bootcamp and Cyber Leaders Forum. Both are closed-door conversations designed to surface real concerns in a confidential, supportive setting. These aren't theoretical discussions—they're rooted in hard-earned experience. Brown, who has faced high-profile scrutiny and legal fallout from a past incident at SolarWinds, brings a uniquely personal perspective to these sessions.He points out that fear and hesitation are keeping many deputy CISOs from stepping up into the top role. His message to them: don't be afraid of the position. Despite the weight of responsibility, the role offers real influence, the ability to shape enterprise architecture, and the opportunity to drive meaningful business decisions. Brown emphasizes the importance of community support and collective growth, noting that the cybersecurity industry—still relatively young—is maturing and finding its footing when it comes to accountability and resilience.Beyond leadership development, mental health and stress management are key themes in the Cyber Leaders Forum. Brown acknowledges the toll the job can take, even sharing that his own health suffered despite thinking he was managing stress well. This honest reflection opens the door for deeper conversations about personal well-being in high-pressure roles.He's also appearing at the Cloud Security Alliance Summit with Chris Hoff, Chief Security Officer at LastPass, where they'll discuss incident response and field questions from the audience. On Wednesday, Brown joins a breakfast session with Tactic and Hyperwise, guiding attendees through a crisis simulation based on lessons from the Sunburst attack. His focus? Helping others avoid being unprepared in a moment of chaos.From insider threat modeling to supply chain transparency and the challenges of monitoring runtime behavior, Brown is clear-eyed about where CISOs need to focus next.This episode isn't just a preview of conference sessions—it's a call to future security leaders to lean in, not back.___________Guest: Tim Brown, CISO, Solarwinds | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-brown-ciso/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesRSAC Session: CLF Ask Me Anything Session with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739404173721001x1MHRSAC Session: CISO Boot Camp Exclusive Fireside Chat with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739403254724001isXhCSA Summit at RSAC 2025: Fireside Chat with Tim Brown and Chris Hoff: https://www.csasummitrsac.com/event/5b3547c2-c652-4f77-97de-5b094e746626/agenda?session=1452408b-c822-4664-87b8-38ce1276247bLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

  What a great way to start off the new year! Jumping right in with this excellent mix from friend of the show, Andy McNeill. Andy records as Maple Mountain Sunburst and he released a wonderful album last year - https://maplemountainsunburst.bandcamp.com/album/ecstatic  He also did a guest mix for us last year which you can find here - Mixcloud  &  Low Light Mixes Blog. My favorite discovery in this mix is the third track, "My Dog's Eyes" by Zammuto. I am blown away each time I hear it. One of my favorite track of 2024 is also included in the mix - Andy's own "Pop-a-matic." So good! The rest of the mix a great as well.  Here's what Andy says about his latest creation: "Cycles, patterns and joy in repetition. I'll paraphrase redditer Waves_of_awesome who said strongly repetitive music has the ability to transport the listener to a meditative state. “… repeating passages echo like a mantra, almost hypnotizing you”. It's a fundamental yet unpremeditated element in my musical endeavours. A lot of different genres represented here — not really intentionally, I just wanted to include some favourites and influential tracks. But wait where's O Superman? It's Gonna Rain? I guess we'll have to do a part two. I hope you all enjoy the journey."  -  Andy >>>Links to all the music used in this mix

    I fell in love with the music of Andy McNeill, who records as Maple Mountain Sunburst, back in 2010 with the release of the album The Maple Mountain Sunburst Triolian Orchestra. Combining a wide variety of instrumentation, electronics, loops and samples to create a unique album and listening experience. The album was one of my favorites of 2010. When I found out that, after a long hiatus, there was new album this year, I was totally hyped. The new recording, Ecstatic, is everything I'd hoped for. Described by Andy as “Instrumental electronic ambient with loops and chopped samples, old keyboards, guitars, and found voices. The vibe is heartwarming, blissed-out, and euphoric; a balm for turbulent times.” You can find the album here - https://maplemountainsunburst.bandcamp.com/album/ecstatic  I was so excited by the new music that I asked Andy to create a mix. He graciously agreed and created multiple mixes. So awesome! This is the first one and it is excellent. I can't stop listening to it. Here's what Andy says abut this mix: "I could say this playlist is about transcendence and something about the physical and spiritual journeys we might take to get there. Or I could just say these are tracks that bring me joy. Some old favourites, some new. I've tried to weave my own material through here in a desperate but determined effort to rise to the level of wonder and beauty in these artists' work."

A New York federal district judge handed down a significant decision dismissing much of the SEC's securities fraud enforcement action against SolarWinds arising from its claims relating to SolarWinds' cybersecurity policies and disclosure of a significant cyberattack against the SolarWinds' network. In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov discusses the significant dismissal of most of the SEC's securities fraud claims against SolarWinds by a New York federal district court. The case highlights the ongoing challenges in balancing cybersecurity disclosures with regulatory requirements, and the implications this ruling might have for future SEC enforcement actions.You'll hear him discuss:Judge's Decision: The court ruled that the SEC's claims were overly reliant on hindsight and speculation, particularly regarding SolarWinds' early-stage disclosure during the investigation of cyber incidents.Pre- and Post-Sunburst Disclosures: While the court upheld charges related to SolarWinds' pre-Sunburst cybersecurity statements, it dismissed the SEC's claims about the company's post-Sunburst disclosures, finding them not misleading under the circumstances.Internal Controls vs. Cybersecurity: The court rejected the SEC's attempt to apply internal accounting controls provisions to cybersecurity policies, marking a significant limitation on the SEC's enforcement scope.Implications for SEC's Approach: This decision contradicts the SEC's previous stance in cases like R.R. Donnelly, potentially influencing future SEC actions regarding cybersecurity and internal controls.Broader Impact: The ruling may affect how cybersecurity risks are reported and how companies manage their disclosure obligations, particularly in light of potential appeals and further litigation by the SEC.Resources:Michael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

On a cool, misty morning when the trees were bright green with their first flush of leaves, I rounded a corner on Route 215 in the NC Mountains and arrived at one of Sunburst Trout's rainbow trout farms. Pristine water flowed continuously into multiple holding ponds, which held different sizes of trout with plenty of room to move around and swim. Here, in this storybook cove, these beautiful fish have grown for generations just downstream from the Pisgah National Forest. Wes Eason is the third generation to raise trout at Sunburst, which was founded by his grandfather in 1948, and the company preserves Appalachian food traditions, including the value of necessity. Morsels of trout that are too small for filets become smoked trout dip or trout jerky, and the roe of harvested fish is preserved and sold as trout caviar. Many of the chefs featured on this show include Sunburst Trout Farm products on their menus, and that was exactly how I discovered this iconic North Carolina business years ago.    Jacques Pepin's Southern Fork episode referenced in this show: https://www.thesouthernfork.com/episode-206  

In this Throwback episode S1, Ep5), Ryan, Shannon, and LeVon discuss the SolarWinds supply chain attack, Sunburst, as the event was still unfolding. This was one of our first episodes and still sits at the top of one of the biggest cyber incidents in a decade. Topic 1: A supply chain attack on SolarWinds has resulted in a widespread cyber espionage campaign, with state-sponsored actors allegedly working for Russia targeting US government agencies and major companies. The attack exploited a backdoor in SolarWinds' software, affecting 18,000 customers and leading to the compromise of sensitive information. The breach is considered one of the biggest in a decade and will require extensive forensic investigation and rebuilding of security infrastructure. The incident highlights the need for increased cybersecurity measures and the demand for skilled professionals in the field. Topic 2: School districts in the US are purchasing mobile device forensics technology to search students' phones without a warrant, raising concerns about privacy and potential misuse. The Supreme Court ruled in New Jersey v. TLO that schools can search students' phones without a warrant if they have reasonable belief of a law or policy violation. However, this raises questions about the extent of privacy rights for students and the potential for targeting certain groups. Please LISTEN

Joining Sean are Emily Coyle, the founder of Cyber Governance Alliance, Andrew Goldstein from law firm Cooley and Amit Elazari from OpenPolicy. Emily elucidates on the work of the Cyber Governance Alliance, aiming to lobby for methodology change by bringing the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework. The Alliance is seeking to provide cyber security professionals with the protections they need to carry out their role, including limitations on liability and protection against the chilling effect of litigation. Andrew speaks to the potential impacts their arguments could have on the wider cyber security field. A pressing concern he highlights is the effect of the SEC's decision on aspiring cyber security professionals and their willingness to engage in the field, potentially exacerbating an already vulnerable shortage of professionals.Amit points out the contradictions between best practice standards for cybersecurity, enshrined in legislation, and the SEC's decision. She puts a call to action to the cyber community to collectively support the renewal of the amicus, around furthering discussions with policy makers to create a balanced decision.The group concludes that the lawsuit sets a challenging precedence for cybersecurity professionals. They argue that aligning legal and policy frameworks with cybersecurity practices should be a priority. They also encourage the community to engage the policymakers in discussion, starting with commenting on and signing the next amicus brief being drafted. Collectively they emphasize the urgency and importance of the cybersecurity community's involvement in shaping the future of cybersecurity policy and governance before it's set in stone.Key Questions AddressedWhat has been the impact, thus far, of the SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds, Tim Brown, after the Sunburst cyberattack?How can conflicting policies potentially impact the sustainability of effective cybersecurity practices and what is the call to action for the cybersecurity community?How is the Cyber Governance Alliance challenging the current cybersecurity legal framework and what protections are they seeking for cybersecurity professionals?Top Insights from the ConversationThe SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds has far-reaching implications for the cybersecurity community and can deter aspiring professionals for a long time to come.Through the Cyber Governance Alliance, there's an ongoing effort to integrate the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework and provide basic liability protections for cybersecurity professionals.Despite the contradictions in cybersecurity policies, there's an urgent call for the cybersecurity community to unify and shape the future of cybersecurity policies and governance.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

In this bonus episode, Ana and Eric greet you from West Bend with several friends: Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann, West Bend Mayor Joel Ongert, and Kewaskum Village President Fuzz Martin. Between all five, the topics run the gamut to every corner of Washington County and expand on the recent Discover Wisconsin episode on Washington County, which was called "Love Your Neighbor." All corners of Washington County get some love from the standpoint of visitors, residents, and businesses. West Bend, the county seat, has a charming and vibrant downtown with Main Street freshly repaved, re-scaped, and ready for great shopping, dining, and entertainment with the Historic Bend Theater welcoming regional and national acts in its 1920s-era-but-updated venue. Across the Milwaukee River you can take in some amazing art at the MOWA - Museum of Wisconsin Art and places like The Volunteer Center and The Hub, its associated coffee shop, were showcased in the recent Discover Wisconsin episode. West Bend also has Riverside Brewing, historic buildings, the Eisenbahn Trail for biking and hiking, and Regner Park, which hosts everything from summer concerts to the beautiful holiday lights in winter. Kewaskum is a prime example of Washington County's beautiful villages, and Village Prez Fuzz Martin dives into activities to enjoy from hunting for antiques to hitting the slopes and Sunburst Ski Hill, which also boasts the largest tubing park in the world with nearly 50 lanes! Nearby in Slinger, Little Switzerland is another popular area for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. Since Washington County straddles the Kettle Moraine region, the topography is beautiful for any activity, and places like the Pike Lake Unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest next to Hartford are ideal for enjoying it to the fullest. You can stop at Aspen Sky Winery in Slinger after (or, heck, before) to imbibe if that would complement your day. Perched atop the highest point in southeastern Wisconsin, Holy Hill Basilica and National Shrine draws visitors from around the world. Whether for religious pilgrimage, to marvel and its beautiful architecture, take in the views, or find treasures at the Holy Hill Art Fair, Holy Hill is an incredible place to visit. You can get beautiful views of Holy Hill from the golf course, too. Erin Hills is a nationally renown course in the Town of Erin; home to the 2017 U.S. Open, the course follows the natural landscape and offers views of Holy Hill. Kettle Hills is another highly-rated golf course on the other side of Holy Hill. Washington County Golf Course outside Hartford ranks among the top 50 municipal courses in the United States, while other options include Hon-E-Kor in Kewaskum, Scenic View in Slinger, and several in West Bend.Hartford, on the western edge of Washington County, offers up its own fun downtown which includes the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, a car-themed wonderful ice cream shop called Scoop de Ville, The Mineshaft restaurant which served as Wisconsin's largest for a long time, plus tons of great shops of all kinds. The city's architecture features classic buildings, some crowned with pagodas. Germantown is the largest village in the county, literally across the street from Milwaukee on the southeast. The village has historic sites like Dheinsville and Freistadt that bring you back to 19th century settlements and some newer breweries and wineries. They include Old Germantown, a new brewery in a farmstead that serves up classic craft brews and wood-fired pizzas, 1840 Brewing, which was featured in the show, and Apple Works Winery, a winery that has grown out of an orchard at Behnke Estates. Germantown is a growing bedroom community but they still have plenty of farms, too. You can explore other farms nearby that offer family fun, including Basse's Taste of Country in Colgate and Peck & Bushel Fruit Company in Colgate.This is why we say Washington County has surprises around every corner.

In December of 2020, SolarWinds learned that they had fallen victim to a widespread malware supply chain attack. This attack granted hackers access to thousands of it customers' data, including military and government agencies across the globe. General Counsel Jason Bliss needed to orchestrate the company's response without knowing how many of its 300,000 customers had been affected, or how severely. What's more, the existing CEO was scheduled to step down and incoming CEO Sudhakar Ramakrishna had yet to come on board. In this episode of Cold Call, Professor Frank Nagle discusses SolarWinds' response to this unprecedented supply chain attack and the case, “SolarWinds Confronts SUNBURST.”

In this episode, Brigadier General Robert Wooldridge and Sergeant Major Daniel Sebby help us learn a bit about the history of the 40th Infantry Division, California National Guard, and what the division was doing up through 1943. Halfway through the year the Division moved from the US West Coast to Hawaii, and then later to Guadalcanal. We also talk a bit about the strengths of the National Guard — then and now — and the different responsibilities the CAARNG sometimes has to juggle. The 40th Infantry Division will be back next year to continue their story in 1944. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mother-of-tanks/message

World 11111Pacific Park's Summer Daze event happens every year on the last weekend in July, when the city is so hot the asphalt of the roads begins to melt, and brownouts brought on by the cumulative effect of too many overworked air conditioners roll across neighborhoods. The breathless inland heat makes the siren call of the beach, and the pier's seaside attractions inescapable. And the park always rises to the occasion, with shows, rides, contests, and spectacles that are almost enough to make people forget the heat.This year, the highlight of Summer Daze will be a series of shows featuring Rancho Pasillo's own aquatic ace, Trident, who has been set up with his own trailer, merch, and "interns" from the Sidekicks Program.And of course there's the yearly Summer Daze recycling drive hosted by the Ambassadors for a Greener Reality & Ecological Engagement, a club from the local high school, spearheaded by student council president Chris Rey, who's managed to recruit the elusive exchange student everyone's wondering about.But who is that shadow figure lurking in the pylons under the pier? Why is the seaweed washing up on the beach such a brilliant shade of green? What is the truth about the rumors that there are some inaccuracies in Trident's origin story? And is the shimmering shape where the sea meets the sky something more than just a trick of the light on the water?There's only one way to find out.This crossover event was organized by Vanessa Haas.

World 11111Ok, so maybe Trident isn't exactly who he said he was. Maybe the whole "intern" gig wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Maybe it is a kind of stupid idea to have people bring their recycling to an amusement park.But hey, turns out there's a secret mad scientist lab off the cost of Rancho Pasillo where a villain thought to be vanquished is busy making a new army of hybrid fish people, and all that stand between her and taking over the city are a few teenage super heroes trapped inside said underwater lab, some of whom can't even swim.So that's something!What will they find under the waves' briny depths?

In this episode of The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, we recount some hacker history, and with the help of John Bambenek, tell the story of one of the largest and most complicated supply chain attacks in history: SolarWinds On December 13, 2020, The Washington Post reported that multiple government agencies were breached through SolarWinds's Orion software.Victims of this attack include the cybersecurity firm FireEye, the US Treasury Department, the US Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, as well as the US Department of Homeland Security.Prominent international SolarWinds customers investigating whether they were impacted include the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Parliament, UK Government Communications Headquarters, the UK Ministry of Defence, the UK National Health Service (NHS), the UK Home Office, and AstraZeneca. FireEye reported the hackers inserted "malicious code into legitimate software updates for the Orion software that allow an attacker remote access into the victim's environment" and that they have found "indications of compromise dating back to the spring of 2020". FireEye named the malware SUNBURST. Microsoft called it Solorigate.The attack used a backdoor in a SolarWinds library; when an update to SolarWinds occurred, the malicious attack would go unnoticed due to the trusted certificate.The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast: a show about cybersecurity and the people that defend the internet.

Twenty-nine ski areas with vertical drops over 1,000 feet. Fourteen soar beyond 2,000. Five cross the 3,000-foot mark. Four pass 4,000. And BC is home to the only two ski areas in North America that give you 5,000 or more vertical feet: Whistler and King Revelstoke. Thirteen BC bumps deliver 1,000-plus acres of terrain, and at least 20 load up on 200 inches or more of snow per season. Check these stats:British Columbia is like the Lamborghini dealership of skiing. Lots of power, lots of flash, lots of hot damn is that real? No duds. Nothing you'd be embarrassed to pick up a date in. A few community bumps, sure. But the BC Bros can stack their power towers – Big White, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Kimberley, Panorama, Red, Revelstoke, Silver Star, Sun Peaks, Whistler, and Whitewater – against any collection of ski areas anywhere on the planet and feel pretty good about winning that knife fight.And yet, even in this Seal Team Six of ski resorts, Sun Peaks looks heroic, epaulets and medals dangling from its dress blues. This is the second-largest ski area in Canada. Ponder that BC ski roster again to understand what that means: Sun Peaks gives you more acreage than anything on the famed Powder Highway, more than Revy or Red or Kicking Horse or Fernie. Turn north at Kamloops, east at Hefley Creek, and get lost at the end of the valley.But Sun Peaks' sheer size is less impressive than how the resort won those big-mountain stats. “British Columbia has probably the most progressive ski resort development policy in the world,” Alexander tells me in the podcast. When he arrived at the bump that was then called “Tod Mountain” in 1993, the place was three chairlifts and some surface movers serving a single peak:Over the next 30 years, Nippon Cable transformed the joint into a vast ski Narnia not only because they were willing to funnel vast capital into the hill, but because the BC government let them do it, under a set of rules known as the B.C. Commercial Alpine Ski policy. While inspiring, this is not an unusual ski area evolution tale for Western Canada. Compare the 10 largest BC ski areas today to the 10 largest in 1994:The acreage explosions at all but Whistler-Blackcomb (which at the time operated as independent ski areas), are astonishing. To underscore the point, check out the same years' comparison for the 10-largest U.S. ski areas:Certainly, the U.S. has seen some dramatic shuffling, especially as Vail and Alterra combined Canyons with Park City and Alpine Meadows with the ski area formerly known as Squaw Valley to form the megaresorts of Park City and Palisades Tahoe. That Big Sky didn't measure on the top 10 in 1994 – the tram didn't arrive until 1995 – is amazing. But the Western U.S., in 1994, was already home to legions of enormous ski resorts. That Heavenly, Mammoth, and Jackson Hole are the exact same size today as they were 29 years ago illustrates the difference between the two countries' attitudes toward ski resort expansion and development. Canada nurtures growth. The U.S. makes it as difficult as possible. Indeed, the reason Big Sky was able to ascend to monster status is that the resort sits entirely on private land, immunizing it from Forest Service bureaucracy and the endless public challenges that attend it.Sun Peaks is a case study in BC's development-friendly policies actualized. More important: the resort's evolution is a case study in smart, transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development. Alexander explains in the podcast that the long-range goal has been to build not just walkable base villages, but a walkable community stretching from one end of the valley to the other. This is the point that's so often missed in the United States: not all growth and development is bad. The reckless, developer-driven, luxury-focused, disconnected sprawl that is U.S. America's default building mode is terrible and inhuman and ought to be curtailed. Deliberate, dense, interconnected, metered development based upon a community masterplan - which is what Sun Peaks is doing - should be encouraged.This sort of thoughtful growth does not dilute mountain communities. It creates them. Rather than trying to freeze development in time – a posture that only kicks sprawl ever farther out from the mountains and leads directly to the traffic addling so many Western U.S. ski towns – BC has enabled and empowered the sort of place-building that will create sustainable mountain communities over the long term. It's an inspiring model, and one that The Storm will examine intensely as I focus more deliberately on Canada.What we talked aboutRecord skier visits; bringing back that international vibe; touring Western Canada; Sun Peaks' first season on the Ikon Pass; the secret giant; how to dodge what few liftlines the resort has; the Mountain Collective as Ikon test run; Tod Mountain in the early 1990s; ski area masterplanning; Sunshine Village; growing Sun Peaks from backwater to the second-largest ski area in Canada; Nippon Cable, the Japanese lift manufacturer that owns Sun Peaks; why Sun Peaks doesn't use Nippon lifts; why Sun Peaks changed its name from “Tod Mountain” in 1993; an interesting tidbit about Whistler ownership; whether Sun Peaks ever considered joining the Epic Pass; Sun Peaks' masterplan; potential terrain expansions; upgrade potential for Sunburst and Sundance lifts; future lift additions; “the guy who serves the most ski terrain with the fewest lifts is the most efficient”; going deep on the coming West Bowl Express quad and the new terrain that will go along with it; why Sun Peaks retired the West Bowl T-bar before replacing it; better access to Gil's; why Sun Peaks is building the lift over three summers; the amazing Burfield lift, a fixed-grip quad that stretches nearly 3,000 vertical feet; potentially shortening that lift; why Burfield will likely never be a high-speed lift; prioritizing lift projects after West Bowl; converting – not replacing – Orient from a fixed-grip quad to a high-speed quad or six-pack; village-building; the potential major lift that's not on Sun Peaks' masterplan; and potentially connecting the resort to the Trans-Canada highway by paved road from the east.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewIn April, Sun Peaks announced construction of a new high-speed quad in West Bowl for the 2024-25 ski season. The lift will replace the West Bowl T-bar, visible on this circa 2019 trailmap, on a longer line that pushes the boundary away from the 7 Mile Road trail:The resort will lengthen the existing trails to meet the new lift's load point down the mountain, as Alexander explains in the podcast.This will be Sun Peaks' third new chairlift in three years, following new fixed-grip quads at Crystal and Orient in 2020 and 2018, respectively. Sun Peaks approaches chairlift construction in a unique manner, with a history of building lifts as fixed-grip machines and then upgrading them to high-speed lifts later on. Orient, for example, may evolve into a high-speed six-pack that lands several hundred more feet up the mountain. Slowly, deliberately, endlessly, Sun Peaks grows and evolves.While Alexander and his team continue to stack bricks into the resort's foundation, they simultaneously grow the mountain's profile. A few years back, the resort joined the Mountain Collective. Last October, it joined Ikon. And, kaboom: no more secret at the end of the road.That's a good thing. If these BC giants are to thrive, they're going to need help outside the province, which hosts a population of approximately 5 million in an area the size of California (39 million residents), Colorado (5.8 million), and Utah (3.4 million) combined. That means bringing skiers burned out on Summit County and Wasatch liftlines across the border, where big ski resorts continue to get bigger and the liftlines rarely form (outside of the West Coast).I don't want to overstate the scale of what's happening in BC – certainly big projects still can and do happen in America. And even as they grow fat by North American standards, most of the province's biggest ski areas still look like birdbaths compared to the ski circuses of Europe. But imagine if, over the next 30 years, 480-acre Ski Cooper transformed into 5,317-acre Vail Mountain. That is essentially what's happened at Sun Peaks since 1993, where a small community bump evolved into an international destination resort 10 times its original size. And they're nowhere near finished – Sun Peaks' masterplan (pg. 141), outlines a monster facility at full build-out:The Mountain Master Plan … will ultimately include a total of 26 ski lifts, including one pulse gondola, one 10G/8C Combi lift one detachable grip six-passenger chairlift, four detachable quadruple chairlifts, nine fixed grip quadruple chairlifts, four platter lifts and approximately two beginner moving carpet lifts, with a total combined rated capacity of about 41,186 passengers per hour … The overall Phase 4 [Skier Comfortable Carrying Capacity] will be approximately 14,830 skiers per day. … there will be 225 trails providing 177.5 kilometers of skiing on [1,895 acres] of terrain.Here's a conceptual map of Sun Peaks at full build-out:While plenty of BC ski areas have evolved over the past several decades, no one has accomplished the trick more steadily or with such deliberate, constant momentum as Sun Peaks. It was time to check in to see how they'd done it, and what was going to happen next.What I got wrongAs is my habit, I introduced Sun Peaks as defined by our U.S. American measurement system of feet and acres. Which is not that unusual – this is a U.S. American-based podcast. However, as a courtesy to my Canadian guests, listeners, and readers, I should have also offered the equivalent measurements in meters. Only I am a dumb U.S. American so I don't actually know how to do these conversions. Sorry about that.Why you should ski Sun PeaksThe Ikon Pass is an incredible thing. Purchase one in the spring and spend the following winter bouncing across the snowy horizons. Hit half a dozen of the continent's greatest resorts in Utah, big-mountain hop in Colorado, spend a week in Tahoe or skimming between peaks at Big Sky. Or go to Canada – 10 Ikon destinations sit in the northland, and seven of them crouch in a neat circle straddling BC and Alberta: Norquay, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Panorama, Red, Sun Peaks, and Revelstoke:You could complete that circle in around 17 hours of driving. Which is not much if you're rolling through a two-week roadie and spending two or three days at each resort. Some of them could occupy far more time. Sun Peaks can eat up a week pretty easily. But for the resort-hoppers among us, an Ikon or Mountain Collective pass includes days at Canada's second-largest ski area on its ready-to-eat buffet. Here's a look at every Canadian ski area that participates in a U.S.-based megapass:So the first reason to ski Sun Peaks is that you probably already have access to it. But there's something else – you can just go there and ski. As much as I love the ski resorts of Colorado and Utah, they are just too easy to access for too many people. That's great, but skiing in those powder holes requires a certain patience, an expectation of some kind of madness, a willingness to tweak the algorithm to see what combination of snowfall, open terrain, day of the week, and time of day yields the most open path between you and turns.That calculus is a little easier at Sun Peaks: just show up whenever you want and start skiing. Outside of Whistler, the big-mountain resorts of BC resemble the big-mountain resorts of the American West 40 years ago. Endless labyrinths of untamed terrain, no one to race off the ropeline. BC's collective ski resorts have evolved much faster than the market's realization that there is another set of Rocky Mountain resorts stacked on top of the Rocky Mountain resorts of U.S. America. That's a lot of terrain to roam. And all you need is a passport. Go get it.Podcast NotesOn building an alternate route into Sun Peaks from the eastMost visitors to Sun Peaks are going to spend some time traveling to the resort along the Trans-Canada Highway. Eastbound travelers will simply turn north at Kamloops and then right at Heffley Creek. Westbound travelers pass within five miles of the resort's southeast edge as they drive through Chase, but must continue toward Kamloops before turning toward Sun Peaks – nearly an hour and a half on clear roads. There is a mountain road, unpaved and impassable in wintertime (marked in yellow below), and long-simmering plans for an alternate, less death-defying paved path that could be open year-round (market in blue below). Alexander and I discussed this road, and he seemed optimistic that it will, eventually, get built. Given Sun Peaks' record of actualizing the improbable, I share his outlook. Here's a map of the whole mess:On Nippon Cable and WhistlerWhile Sun Peaks presents as an independent ski area, it is in fact part of a Japan-based conglomerate called Nippon Cable. This is primarily a lift manufacturer, but Nippon also owns a number of ski areas in Japan and 25 percent of Whistler (seriously). Read more about their properties here.On Big Bam ski areaAlexander mentions Big Bam ski area, which sits along the Pine River just west of the Alaska Highway and south of Fort St. John. Here's a homemade trailmap that someone codenamed “Skier72” posted on skimap.org, with the caption, “Approx. Trails at Big Bam. Made with Google Earth. Top lift is future quad chair, bottom lift is rope tow”:Big Bam is a volunteer-run, weekends-only organization with 180 feet of vert. You can follow them on Facebook (their last Instapost was in 2014). Alexander mentioned that the ski area had moved from its original location, though I couldn't find any information on the old hill. The place has had a rough go – it re-opened (I believe in the current location), in 2009, and was closed from 2016 to 2019 before turning the lifts on again. They seem desperate for a chairlift. If anyone knows more about the Big Bam story, please let me know.On Sun Peaks spare lift fleetAlexander notes that Sun Peaks “might have the least number of lifts for a resort of our size” on the continent. Indeed, the ski area has the third-fewest number of lifts among North America's 10 largest ski areas:On the Burfield chairliftStow this one for ski club trivia night: Sun Peaks is home to what is very likely the longest fixed-grip chairlift in the world. The Burfield quad rises 2,890 vertical feet on a 9,510-foot-long line. According to Lift Blog, ride time is 21 minutes, and the carriers are 115 feet apart. The lift's hourly capacity is just 470 riders – compare that to the Crystal fixed-grip quad right beside it, which can move up to 2,400 skiers per hour.The Storm Skiing Journal and Podcast explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

This week Kali Fencl, Tim Helming, and Ian Campbell discuss Kim Zetter's work on the SolarWinds investigation along with the Senate's hearing on AI regulation.

Returning this week with a big stack of jazz and more I picked up last month in NYC, and also a couple selections in tribute to Harry Belafonte, probably one of the most incredible people to ever walk the earth. I recommend everyone go and pick up his autobiography just to see all the things he was involved in and accomplished. He lived an amazing life, and I start and finish this set with two tunes of his I love. Tracklist: Harry Belafonte, Rick Laird, Charlie Antolini, Masaru Imada, Walter Bishop Jr., Ted Vining Trio, Eric Kloss, Roy Ayers, Sunburst, Gil Scott Heron, Don Pullen, Harry Belafonte
