I sit down with Ian Reddell in this episode. Skiing Ian is what we call him. Ian is the Avalanche Mitigation Manager at Solitude Mountain Resort. I had the good fortune to work with Ian while I was ski patrolling at Solitude, and he has been a mentor to me throughout my career in the snow and avalanche world. We chat about Solitude's avalanche mitigation program and techniques for managing and opening terrain with an early season snowpack. Ian reflects on his career and some lessons delivered along the way. Music by Ketsa.
