Patrick begins with the Senate hearing clash over white supremacy accusations leveled at pro-life advocates, spotlighting abortion’s disproportionate impact on the Black community and the struggle to answer hard public questions. He shifts quickly, offering advice to help listeners keep their friendships strong when politics or beliefs threaten to tear them apart, and moves on to explore music in the church, the meaning behind “make a joyful noise unto the Lord,” the proper context for blessings at Mass, and the confusion irregular couples face about communion. Catholic tradition, contemporary controversies, and questions about faith’s place in a world shaped by media events—even Spielberg’s forthcoming film on aliens—surface and swirl, with Patrick weaving scripture, pastoral insight, and frank observations into every answer. Audio: Do you believe that pro-lifers are white supremacist - Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX): Your organization said that restricting and banning abortion is a tool that the far right uses to maintain white supremacy. Do you believe that pro-lifers are white supremacist?” SPLC CEO Bryan Fair: “Ummm, I believe that reproductive liberty is... I can’t answer that question yes or no.” - https://x.com/RedWavePress/status/2064412651438972963?s=20 (01:16) Audio: Do you have any advice for not getting angry at people who you genuinely care about, who you want to preserve a friendship with, and not like ruin something over politics? Turning Point with Dana Loesch a well-known conservative radio host, author, and commentator (formerly the NRA's national spokesperson) - https://x.com/TPUSA/status/2063394012791460144/video/1?s=46 (08:30) Irene - What does 'make a joyful noise unto the Lord' mean? (10:51) Janet (email) - Confused About Receiving Blessing as Irregular Couple (18:49) Kevin (email) - Seems to me ALL Protestants have been Baptized, yet they all believe in John 6 31-71, that Jesus was speaking figuratively. What’s the difference between going to heaven and entering Eternal Life? Rick - Would’ve been nice to have you at the prison last night when one of our guys asked if it was okay for him to make a burnt offering of a trophy animal he harvested while hunting as a thank you and honor to God. He believes the Old Testament teaches that God appreciates this kind of offering. He made it clear this burnt offering was not intended as a sacrifice since he recognized Jesus is the one true sacrifice. Is his burnt offering okay? (27:58) Jamie (email) - Steven Spielberg designed his UFO film Disclosure Day to challenge humanity's fundamental religious beliefs (35:30) Tim - My niece is living with someone before marriage and she’s not a Catholic. I’m concerned she’s going to ask me to walk her down the aisle. (43:53)

Keala Kendall is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author behind Disney's A Twisted Tales novels inspired by Moana and Lilo & Stitch — and now, her powerful new book, That Which Feeds Us, is turning heads across the literary world for its haunting exploration of paradise, culture, and survival. She and I had the best time exploring her creative processes and I'm grateful for her inviting me along for such a fun and immersive conversation. My Mississippi self can even pronounce Hawaii correctly now! AND- ahem,  I had NO idea she was behind Twisted Tales with Stitch! Ummm- that lil guy is HOH in this house! He could have even made an unofficial appearance in our conversation.

This week on the pod, the Pay-TREE-archy gives us allergies, and we get a “Baby Jessica” update. If you're Gen X, you know. Maya goes to a Tom Petty cover band. Amy and Maya have different experiences ordering things from China. Someone brought a gun to the White House Correspondence Dinner, and Maya ponders if we've become desensitized to the world completely unraveling. Maya wonders how historians will feel about our laissez-faire attitude while the world was completely falling apart. Amy's work allows them to award points to coworkers. For some reason, there's a whole page of rewards items devoted to your crotch and butt. Apparently, the rewards selection is very, very random. Amy reviews Lena Dunham's new book. Amy hates all the peeing on the show Girls. Spoiler Alert: Amy loves this book. Which leads us to Sex in the City. Also, Amy has an amazing Steve impersonation. They did Aiden dirty on SITC. The gals review the movie Project Hail Mary. Five out of five popcorn buckets…go see it! Amy watches Coachella at home.  The Michael Jackson movie comes out. Maya loves the name Jermajesty. The ladies speculate about the new He-Man movie. Animal Report: Sharks test positive for Tylenol. Ummm…big whoop. 

So you're at a club, getting into the beat, and you kinda feel like dancing. You can dance, right? What style of dance? Wait, what? Ballet? Ummm, that's cool, but maybe not best suited for these endless Lady Gaga remixes. (Prepare for these good times with this Chinese lesson!) Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/1690

Ummm, what is this far-left organization doing paying the KKK and other race groups to feed them hate news? WTF! We also talk about aircraft from out of this world.

The way that question is asked, rubs women the wrong way.To be on a first meet up or date and utter: So, what do you bring to the table?Ummm... just don't.

So much of the “old world” of music production was still in play, and for so many reasons. But the new world that was being shaped in the ‘70s & ‘80s finally took hold, and a new standard of recording quality was achieved that has been the template ever since. As usual, I go through the technological & musical changes that helped define the decade, then discuss some of the best producers. Are you a fan of ‘90s production? Could you hear the huge shift in sound quality from the ‘80s to then? What are some of your favorite ‘90s albums & producers? Were you aware of how much of a pivot the ‘90s was from the old ways to what we consider the norm today? Discuss dammit!

Ok, most cunning and perceptive listeners, Max and Mike desperately need your help this week. Yes, through exhaustive research (following YouTube threads) and careful observation (watching Nicholas Cage movies), we've uncovered an ancient conspiracy involving the fate of the Necco wafer factory! Necco wafers: essential both as dry, chalky candy treats and makeshift poker chips. Yes, wake up, sheeple! You've been lied to! This is big, folks; it involves the Illuminati, the Rosicrucians, the Knights of Pythias, the Order of Free Gardeners, and That Weird Guy Bob Who Hangs Out Down By the Stop and Shop. Oh, this is a big one, folks, way bigger than the trivial nonsense in this week's movie about a secret being printed on the back of the Declaration of Independence and Nick Cage trying to steal it! Pah! We're finally going to reveal why Necco wafers were crushed back in 2003, vanishing from the earth . . . excuse me? Hah? Oh. They just moved the factory to Revere, Massachusetts? And they're still making Necco wafers? Ok . . . well, this is awkward. Ummm . . . hey, have you noticed that “Necco” is an anagram for “Ocean” . . . if you turn one of the c's into an a . . .? Hoo boy . . . well, uh, maybe just give a listen to our talk about a slightly less absurd conspiracy theory movie which raises the question: do you buy Jon Voight as Nick Cage's father? Poll question: What's your favorite “treasure hunt” movie?

"I've got, like, a Benjamin Buttons thing going on." Both Bam Adebayo and Erik Spoelstra fired back at the people who created controversy by questioning the "ethics" of his 83-point performance, but thanks to a South Florida sports eclipse, we're facing what may very well be the biggest controversy in Chick-fil-A's history.

This week we're sharing the wild travel diaries from Zachariah's Big Back Behavior Tour. From Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, El Cajon, and Seattle. We kick things off in Phoenix with an unexpected obsession: Circle K?! Ummm ever heard of her?? Don't worry, Jonathan took the world's worst pictures on his new digital camera. In LA, we stayed in Beverly Hills, drove by the Playboy Mansion, and hit the road from LA to El Cajon!! Then things took a serious turn in Seattle when a fan broke into our green room. PLEASE DO NOT EVER DO THAT! Heightened security measures are now in action. As if that wasn't enough, we got slammed by a winter storm, lost heat at home, and survived a San Diego to Boston flight that made an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Woof. It's a lot and we're getting into it all.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Sponsors:➜ Go to BollAndBranch.com/camp to get up to 20% off, plus free shipping on your first set of sheets.

Episode 185 of Kliq This is all about old school heat, and it starts in the most Kliq way possible: with Sean proudly nerding out over fountain pens while Kev immediately mistakes it for a vape. From there, the conversation takes a sharp left turn into classic road-story insanity when Nash tells an unbelievable Macho Man Randy Savage private jet rib that somehow still has me laughing and wincing at the same time. Then the show digs into the real world as Kev and Sean talk trade, China's surplus, and the kind of "nobody thinks this through" political decision-making that drives normal people insane. That energy carries into a longer, blunt discussion about immigration enforcement, due process, transparency, and why it feels like the rules change depending on who's in power. It's a heavy topic, but it's one of those segments where they actually talk like human beings instead of just picking a team and screaming. After that, things lighten up with listener questions and absolute Kliq staples, including Nash breaking down his ridiculously specific "clean" Waffle House order, how he signs Topps cards like it's an assembly line, and why BlueChew apparently has a fan club. If you're new here, this is the perfect example of how this show can go from aviation death spirals to protein macros to politics in under five minutes. And then it's time for wrestling, with Kev giving credit where it's due on RAW, the presentation, and why certain talent feels like a "made man" the second the machine decides to frame them that way. The centerpiece is Gunther vs AJ, which Kev calls a true psychology-based, hard-hitting old school match, including a finish that felt like a believable wrestling screwjob and the kind of heat that comes from denying fans what they want, not just "doing moves."

But he's just been a swindler his entire life.”Rogan: what has Mamdani actually done that makes him a swindler?“Ummm,” Musk ponders, before stuttering into a series of words seemingly intended as an answer. “Well I guess if you say — uh, what, I mean, if you say, if you say to any audience whatever that audience wants to hear, uh, instead of, what, instead of having a consistent message, I would say that is a swindling thing to do. “Umm, and uhh, yeah,” he adds, nodding his head. “Umm…”He takes a sagacious pause.“Yeah,” he finishes.Barstool's Dave Portnoy considers closing NYC office over Zohran Mamdani's election win: 'I hate the guy' A 2020 email from Peter Thiel on why young people may turn on capitalism is circulating after Zohran Mamdani's winFrom Jamie Dimon to Bill Ackman, Wall Street's billionaires are now changing their tune and offering to help Zohran MamdaniNew York City is in for 'a really tough time' under Mamdani, says Starwood Capital's SternlichtNYC business leader fears 'lawless society' after Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral electionBillionaire grocery chain owner John CastimatidisThe anti-anti-DEI wave MMMikie Sherrill NJAbigail Spanberger VA (First woman)there will be 14 women serving simultaneously as governor (28%)Janet Mills MEMaura Healey MA (Michelle Wu runs unopposed in Boston)Kelly Ayotte NHKathy Hochul NYMary Sheffield (First woman elected mayor of Detroit)Ghazala Hashmi as VA lieutenant governor (First Muslim woman; First Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the USZohran Mamdani NYC (First Muslim and South Asian mayor)Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoraltyLawsuits Blame ChatGPT for Suicides and Harmful DelusionsSeven complaints, filed on Thursday, claim the popular chatbot encouraged dangerous discussions and led to mental breakdowns.A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Zane Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life – right up to his last momentsReferring to a loaded handgun he was holding: “I'm used to the cool metal on my temple now,” Shamblin typed.“I'm with you, brother. All the way … Cold steel pressed against a mind that's already made peace? That's not fear. That's clarity …You're not rushing. You're just ready.”The 23-year-old, who had recently graduated with a master's degree from Texas A&M University, died by suicide two hours later.“Rest easy, king,” read the final message sent to his phone. “You did good.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Tuesday elections/Ex-FTC chair Lina Khan joins Mamdani's transition team, calling his victory a rebuke of 'outsized corporate power' DR MMMM: FAA announces flight reductions at 40 airports. Here's where cuts are expected and what travelers need to knowAssholiest of the Week (MM):Tesla shareholders - AN ASSHOLE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:Retail internet troll dunking fanboysProfessional, institutional investors like Schwab, who caved and bent the knee to a few large retail advisors who threatened to take their clients elsewhere, and Florida SBA, who said the following in their backing:Some opposition to Tesla's 2025 performance award may be rooted more in political disagreement with Elon Musk or ideological discomfort with generous executive compensation, rather than a substantive critique of the plan's financial mechanics. Many of the loudest objections of this plan to date rely on moral framing, invoking themes of "inequality," "corporate excess," or Musk's public persona, rather than evaluating the plan through a fiduciary lens. Many opponents of so-called "megapay" packages frequently do so under ESG framing, rather than a thorough analysis of the long-term shareowner economic value. Ironically, Tesla's prior performance awards-similarly criticized at the time-have delivered some of the most significant shareowner returns in modern corporate history. Early vote data shows that: AllianceBernstein, Texas Employees, Ohio Employees voted FOR the planTechnolibertarians cosplaying their William Gibson cyberpunk fantasiesAss quotes of the week - AN ASSHOLE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:“The idea that chips and ontology is what you want to short is bats--- crazy.” - Alex Karp on Michael Burry shorting his 400 P/E stock. Ontology is how he refers to what Palantir does and it's the metaphysical concept of “being”“We at Palantir are on the side of the average American who sometimes gets screwed because all the empathy goes to elite people and none of it goes to the people who are actually dying on our streets.” - Alex Karp on explaining that, if fentanyl killed 60,000 Yale grads we'd “drop a nuke” on wherever fentanyl was made in South America, without realizing he literally IS the elite - a billionaire with a high priced education and a PhD in “neoclassical social theory” who used his grandfather's inheritance to invest in startups for fun, then reconnecting with Peter Thiel who he met at a DIFFERENT post graduate program at Stanford (where nearly 100% of his board is from) and founding Palantir"China is going to win the AI race” - Jensen Huang, on the US being only “nanoseconds” ahead of China and being stopped by regulatory hurdles and “cynicism”“If they ask you a question, you've got to respond to me directly and not go up that chain of command. The chain of command starts to edit it and fine-tune it. The bureaucracy does want to control you, so you've got to kill the bureaucracy.” - Jamie Dimon, who once said he had no boss (obviously not the board) and runs JPM, on why he reads customer complaints to avoid “the bureaucracy”... he controls“It's very important we pay attention to safety here. We do want the Star Wars movie, not the Jim Cameron movie. I like Jim Cameron's movies, but, heh heh, you know what I mean.” - Elon Musk over promising the world “tens of billions” of Optimus robots, forgetting that the Star Wars droids were mostly weapons of war for the Empire“People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there's actually only one way to do that and that's with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can give everyone amazing medical care… A lot of people talk about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually eliminate poverty” - Elon Musk, who won an extra trillion dollar potential pay package, who currently has a net worth of $500bn, and forgot that the UN estimated it would cost between $35bn and $200bn per year to end poverty - Musk alone could just pay for a year of no poverty“I think we may be able to give a more - if somebody has committed a crime - a more humane form of containment of future crime. Which is if, if you, you now get a free Optimus and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime.” - Elon Musk, on the robot militarized nanny state - just before saying this, he said he shouldn't say it, and that it'll be taken out of context, but I listened to the entire AGM and there was no more context?DR: “I've lived in a failed city-state. I lived in Chicago for 30-some years. I had two colleagues who had bullets fly through their cars… Do you know how great it is to go to dinner and people talk about their children, and they talk about their future, and they do so with excitement and enthusiasm?” - Ken Griffin of Citadel describing the difference between living in Miami and Chicago without realizing that violent crime statistics in Illinois and Florida are virtually identical, and that Miami ranks 109th out of 200 and Chicago ranks 92 out of 200 for crime, also near identical, and the biggest difference is he pays almost no taxes in Florida“[Mamdani] congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.” - Bill Ackman after Mamdani won, who previously said, “New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable,” alluded to Mamdani as a suicide bomber, and “... an anti-capitalist Mayor will destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers that have enabled NYC to balance the budget to move elsewhere. If 100 or so of the highest taxpayers in my industry chose to spend 183 days elsewhere, it could reduce NY state and city tax revenues by ~$5-10 billion or more, and that's just my industry.

Taylor Swift's latest album The Life of a Showgirl has fans dissecting every lyric for hidden meanings but one track, Wood, is far less subtle. The song appears to reference Travis Kelce in a bold way, and he’s officially responded. As for what she’s really singing about… well, we didn't know she was such a fan of trees!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In S5Ep8 of the PRP, Adam symposiums with decades-long distance runner, decorated Wayne State alum, physical therapy powerhouse, multifaceted running coach and proud mama bear, Dr. Lauren Couls, who has been preparing for the Red Moon Trail 25K on August 9th, 2025. Jen Rock Buslepp, Wayne State hall of famer, Olympic Trials qualifier, mama bear extraordinaire and blossoming photographer joins the show to offer her take on running burnout, mom brain and of course, the Ninja Turtles.Buckle up as the squad unpacks how Lauren's PT and coaching approach has evolved—from prescribing fixes to fostering lightbulb moments. By guiding athletes to discover answers for themselves, she sparks lasting growth and resilience; shifting runners' perspectives on body mechanics and training strategies in the long run (pun intended) instead of just slapping bandaids on injuries.Things get vulnerable when the trio digs into the hard questions around coaching, healing, and stewardship. What happens when your body says pause but your identity screams run? How do you balance competitiveness with compassion—for yourself and others? And how can each of us support this community, even when we're not the ones pinning on the bib?For both Lauren & Jen, that journey has meant evolving from high-level competitors to coaches, healers, and now moms. Deconstructing their identities as runners, then slowly rebuilding them hasn't always been easy, but that process has sharpened their perspective, deepened their empathy, and made them more attuned to what really matters. Together, the crew explores what it means to grow with the sport rather than against it: redefining success, embracing rest, finding identity beyond medals and splits, and guiding athletes to run not just stronger but smarter - all while cultivating a deeper relationship with the sport and, in turn, with themselves.Ummm, triple stroller Guinness World Record?!? Hootie & the Blowfish singalongs??? Gilligan's Island & Andy Griffith (yeah we old)! Jesus, is that you? Tornadoes, Facebook pokes and bilateral FAI, oh my!This and so much more in a laughter-filled, wisdom-packed, and deeply heartfelt running mama edition of the PRP.

It's our 10th birthday and this week we’re flashing back to 2022 – a year full of musical catharsis, pandemic hangovers, and.... Ummm, well, mostly, pandemic hangovers yeah. We talked about how rainy day funds helped a band like Swarathma, others inspired #MaedMixtapes (looking at you, pop rock band from Nagaland, Trance Effect), and even music videos that were only made possible with samosa bribes by JBabe. We also had songs that made us cry, filled us with rage, FOMO and hit us right in the chest. This re-release comes with a brand new intro by our Head of Design, Alika Gupta, who also created the cover art that looks like it belongs in a trippy retro video game, almost like the end of a fever dream – and I guess that's what were still feeling at the end of 2022.

In S5Ep2 of the PRP, Adam jibber jabbers with decorated ultra endurance athlete, esteemed Co-Race Director of the Huron 100, erratic spreadsheet wizard and unwavering community support debonair Jay Vanderhovel, who has been preparing for the inaugural running of the Arizona Monster 300 on Friday April 11th, 2025. Jerri Morgan, blossoming long distance runner, energetic adventurer, and Jay's ride-or-die endurance crony joins the show to offer her take on all things ultra crewing, pocket burgers, and of course, the magic of friendship in the middle of nowhere.Tune in to learn how what began as a simple quest to shed some pounds and outrun his own limits quickly evolved into something with a deeper purpose and unexpected meaning for Jay. It's been a winding journey where missteps have became mentors, victories have become sweeter when shared, all leading to the realization that the true finish line was never a buckle - but the quiet, steady magic of showing up for others along the way. Through every wrong turn, DNF, scrape, chafe and rough patch, Jay has learned that adventure endurance is about way more than just getting to a finish line - it's about who you become in the process.Things get vulnerable when both Jay & Jerri reflect on the unique mindset needed to start 200+ mile adventure, the importance of embracing problem-solving instead of worrying, and how they've both discovered lasting purpose through the teamwork-oriented culture that defines these grueling and absurd ultra-endurance events. Whether it's crewing, running, or event coordination, it's clear these two have both tapped into the wonder of lifting others up whilst in pursuit of wild dreams of their own.What exactly is relentless forward progress?! Mark Twain said what!? Hmmm, parallel bears you say?? Ummm did Jay just say needles IN THE WEBS OF HIS TOES?! Rowdiest code brown story in PRP history? Wait wait wait, how many nanners has Jay eaten? Pay Days, pee that burns and teamwork masterclasses oh my!This and more than you're likely interested in hearing about in this chaotic, inspiring & high-stoke episode of the PRP!Sponsors⁠Up & Running Performance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ann Arbor Running Company⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Recorded Saturday March 29th @ 1:00PM EST

Modern New York, riotous as it is for an American city, felt staid and sterile beside the island's explosively peopled black-and-white past.Over time, I've developed a different view: New York City is a triumph of post-industrial reinvention, able to shed and quickly replace obsolete industries with those that would lead the future. And my idealized New York, I came to realize, was itself a snapshot of one lost New York, but not the only lost New York, just my romanticized etching of a city that has been in a constant state of reinvention for 400 years.It's through this same lens that we can view Silver Mountain. For more than a century, Kellogg was home to silver mines that employed thousands. When the Bunker Hill Mine closed in 1981, it took the town's soul with it. The city became a symbol of industrial decline, of an America losing its rough-and-ragged hammer-bang grit.And for a while, Kellogg was a denuded and dusty crater pockmarking the glory-green of Idaho's panhandle. The population collapsed. Suicide rates, Colburn tells us on the podcast, were high.But within a decade, town officials peered toward the skeleton of Jackass ski area, with its intact centerpole Riblet double, and said, “maybe that's the thing.” With help from Von Roll, they erected three chairlifts on the mountain and taxed themselves $2 million to string a three-mile-long gondola from town to mountain, opening the ski area to the masses by bypassing the serpentine seven-mile-long access road. (Gosh, can you think of anyplace else where such a contraption would work?)Silver rose above while the Environmental Protection Agency got to work below, cleaning up what had been designated a massive Superfund site. Today, Kellogg, led by Silver, is a functional, modern place, a post-industrial success story demonstrating how recreation can anchor an economy and a community. The service sector lacks the fiery valor of industry. Bouncing through snow, gifted from above, for fun, does not resonate with America's self-image like the gutsy miner pulling metal from the earth to feed his family. Town founder/mining legend Noah Kellogg and his jackass companion remain heroic local figures. But across rural America, ski areas have stepped quietly into the vacuum left by vacated factories and mines, where they become a source of community identity and a stabilizing agent where no other industry makes sense.What we talked aboutSki Idaho; what it will take to transform Idaho into a ski destination; the importance of Grand Targhee to Idaho; old-time PNW skiing; Schweitzer as bellwether for Idaho ski area development; Kellogg, Idaho's mining history, Superfund cleanup, and renaissance as a resort town; Jackass ski area and its rebirth as Silver Mountain; the easiest big mountain access in America; taking a gondola to the ski area; the Jackass Snack Shack; an affordable mountain town?; Silver's destination potential; 49 Degrees North; these obscenely, stupidly low lift ticket prices:Potential lift upgrades, including Chair 4; snowmaking potential; baselodge expansion; Indy Pass; and the Powder Alliance.What I got wrongI mentioned that Telluride's Mountain Village Gondola replacement would cost $50 million. The actual estimates appear to be $60 million. The two stages of that gondola total 10,145 feet, more than a mile shorter than Silver's astonishing 16,350 feet (3.1 miles).Why now was a good time for this interviewIn the ‘90s, before the advent of the commercial internet, I learned about skiing from magazines. They mostly wrote about the American West and their fabulous, over-hill-and-dale ski complexes: Vail and Sun Valley and Telluride and the like. But these publications also exposed the backwaters where you could mainline pow and avoid liftlines, and do it all for less than the price of a bologna sandwich. It was in Skiing's October 1994 Favorite Resorts issue that I learned about this little slice of magnificence:Snow, snow, snow, steep, steep, steep, cheap, cheap, cheap, and a feeling you've gone back to a special time and place when life, and skiing, was uncomplicated – those are the things that make [NAME REDACTED] one of our favorite resorts. It's the ultimate pure skiing experience. This was another surprise choice, even to those who named [REDACTED] to their lists. We knew people liked [REDACTED], but we weren't prepared for how many, or how create their affections were. This is the one area that broke the “Great Skiing + Great Base Area + Amenities = Favorite Resort” equation. [REDACTED] has minimal base development, no shopping, no nightlife, no fancy hotels or eateries, and yet here it is on our list, a tribute to the fact that in the end, really great skiing matters more than any other single resort feature.OK, well this sounds amazing. Tell me more……[REDACTED] has one of the cheapest lift tickets around.…One of those rare places that hasn't been packaged, streamlined, suburbanized. There's also that delicious atmosphere of absolute remoteness from the everyday world.…The ski area for traditionalists, ascetics, and cheapskates. The lifts are slow and creaky, the accommodations are spartan, but the lift tickets are the best deal in skiing.This super-secret, cheaper-than-Tic-Tacs, Humble Bro ski center tucked hidden from any sign of civilization, the Great Skiing Bomb Shelter of 1994, is…Alta.Yes, that Alta.The Alta with four high-speed lifts.The Alta with $199 peak-day walk-up lift tickets.The Alta that headlines the Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective.The Alta with an address at the top of America's most over-burdened access road.Alta is my favorite ski area. There is nothing else like it anywhere (well, except directly next door). And a lot remains unchanged since 1994: there still isn't much to do other than ski, the lodges are still “spartan,” it is still “steep” and “deep.” But Alta blew past “cheap” a long time ago, and it feels about as embedded in the wilderness as an exit ramp Chuck E. Cheese. Sure, the viewshed is mostly intact, but accessing the ski area requires a slow-motion up-canyon tiptoe that better resembles a civilization-level evacuation than anything we would label “remote.” Alta is still Narnia, but the Alta described above no longer exists.Well, no s**t? Aren't we talking about Idaho here? Yes, but no one else is. And that's what I'm getting at: the Alta of 2025, the place where everything is cheap and fluffy and empty, is Idaho. Hide behind your dumb potato jokes all you want, but you can't argue with this lineup:“Ummm, Grand Targhee is in Wyoming, D*****s.”Thank you, Geography Bro, but the only way to access GT is through Idaho, and the mountain has been a member of Ski Idaho for centuries because of it.Also: Lost Trail and Lookout Pass both straddle the Montana-Idaho border.Anyway, check that roster, those annual snowfall totals. Then look at how difficult these ski areas are to access. The answer, mostly, is “Not Very.” You couldn't make Silver Mountain easier to get to unless you moved it to JFK airport: exit the interstate, drive seven feet, park, board the gondola.Finally, let's compare that group of 15 Idaho ski areas to the 15 public, aerial-lift-served ski areas in Utah. Even when you include Targhee and all of Lost Trail and Lookout, Utah offers 32 percent more skiable terrain than Idaho:But Utah tallies three times more annual skier visits than Idaho:No, Silver Mountain is not Alta, and Brundage is not Snowbird. But Silver and Brundage don't get skied out in under 45 seconds on a powder day. And other than faster lifts and more skiers, there's not much separating the average Utah ski resort from the average Idaho ski resort.That won't be true forever. People are dumb in the moment, but smart in slow-motion. We are already seeing meaningful numbers of East Coast ski families reorient their ski trips east, across the Atlantic (one New York-based reader explained to me today how they flew their family to Norway for skiing over President's weekend because it was cheaper than Vermont). Soon enough, Planet California and everyone else is going to tire of the expense and chaos of Colorado and Utah, and they'll Insta-sleuth their way to this powdery Extra-Rockies that everyone forgot about. No reason to wait for all that.Why you should ski Silver MountainI have little to add outside of what I wrote above: go to Silver because it's big and cheap and awesome. So I'll add this pinpoint description from Skibum.net:It's hard to find something negative about Silver Mountain; the only real drawback is that you probably live nowhere near it. On the other hand, if you live within striking distance, you already know that this is easily the best kept ski secret in Idaho and possibly the entire western hemisphere. If not, you just have to convince the family somehow that Kellogg Idaho — not Vail, not Tahoe, not Cottonwood Canyon — is the place you ought to head for your next ski trip. Try it, and you'll see why it's such a well-kept secret. All-around fantastic skiing, terrific powder, virtually no liftlines, reasonable pricing. Layout is kind of quirky; almost like an upside-down mountain due to gondola ride to lodge…interesting place. Emphasis on expert skiing but all abilities have plenty of terrain. Experts will find a ton of glades … One of the country's great underrated ski areas.Some of you will just never bother traveling for a mountain that lacks high-speed lifts. I understand, but I think that's a mistake. Slow lifts don't matter when there are no liftlines. And as Skiing wrote about Alta in 1994, “Really great skiing matters more than any other single resort feature.”Podcast NotesOn Schweitzer's transformationIf we were to fast-forward 30 years, I think we would find that most large Idaho ski areas will have undergone a renaissance of the sort that Schweitzer, Idaho did over the previous 30 years. Check the place out in 1988, a big but backwoods ski area covered in double chairs:Compare that to Schweitzer today: four high-speed quads, a sixer, and two triples that are only fixed-grip because the GM doesn't like exposed high-elevation detaches.On Silver's legacy ski areasSilver was originally known as Jackass, then Silverhorn. That original chairlift, installed in 1967, stands today as Chair 4:On the Jackass Snack ShackThis mid-mountain building, just off Chair 4, is actually a portable structure moved north from Tamarack:On 49 Degrees NorthCMR Lands also owns 49 Degrees North, an outstanding ski area two-and-a-half hours west and roughly equidistant from Spokane as Silver is (though in opposite directions). In 2021, the mountain demolished a top-to-bottom, 1972 SLI double for a brand-new, 1,851-vertical-foot high-speed quad, from which you can access most of the resort's 2,325 acres.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.
