Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast.

Episode 104 features an interview with OpenSnow's Joel Gratz. Often touted as a meteorological wunderkind, Gratz, like the rest of us, like sliding on snow. OpenSnow's website and app allow those seeking powder snow and forecasts to know where, when, and how deep. Gratz discusses how the site and models assisting with the forecasts have changed over the years.

1) The impending storm.

2) The on-piste off-piste dilemma. 

3) Forecasting accurately for a specific locaton.
