Interview with Alyssa Giacobbe - Journalist for Boston Magazine, 'COVID vs The Ski Industry' article.

The holiday season is upon us and sometimes we just don't know what gifts to get the skiers & snowboarders in our lives. We've come up with a few fun and unique ideas to enhance the stoke under your tree.

Skiing is the topic today in speaking with our friend Shannon Dunfey-Ball Marketing & Communications Manager at Ski NH.

Lets talk about backcountry skiing with our new buddy Clarke!

This ski season is going to be like no other. With all the new restrictions and protocols. It's not going to be a year to wing-it and chase powder. Unfortunately, there's going to have be a little more planning required. Want to know what you'll need to do? Listen to our chat with Adam White, the Director of Communications for Ski Vermont.

With the 2020 election never ending, the real question is, will skiing be great again this year? Well, we speak to our buddy Tom from Ober Gatlinburg where the hills are alive with snow!

What to do, what to do. In our attempt for full ski-bummery Mario and I have been informed that we are both working full-time remote until at least April. If we need to stay on the east coast, where do we go?

It's an understatement to that there's so much uncertainty in the world right now. Whether it's covid, the US Presidential election or how La Nina will affect ski & snowboard season, so much is up in the air right now. We've been so overwhelmed, we couldn't even come up with a real topic. Don't worry friends, the snow has already started to fall and we're going to find a way to get through this.

As if 2020 hasn't had a large enough swath of destruction. Last week it was announced that our beloved Powder Magazine is going to be shuttering in November. Why did this happen and how are we responsible?

We chat with our new friend Doug Fish, founder of the Indy Ski Pass.
