Colorado finally got snow–so naturally everyone lost their minds. In this episode, the crew breaks down the first real winter weekend: Aspen’s 45-minute gondola line, Eldora’s epidemic of straight-liners, and I-70’s biannual reminder that semi-trucks apparently come with “optional” chains.

Marcus is testing new boots that are suspiciously comfortable, Dave accidentally bought park skis that don’t fit in gondola racks, Ryan is deep in uphill-mode season, and Dylan’s kids may be more excited about skiing than all of us combined.

Plus: a Vail powder day recap, free-skiing secrets for Colorado kids, a surprisingly touching review of the new Warren Miller film, and the eternal truth that the tavern’s gluten-free donuts are worth the lift ticket alone.

It’s early-season stoke meets early-season chaos–with gear talk, safety rants, pro tips, and just enough sarcasm to keep you warm on a cold chairlift.
