 Welcome to Episode 186 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we are joined by Anthony Lahout. Anthony is part of the Lahout family, the caretakers and owners of the oldest ski shop in the United States. Lahout’s was founded in 1920 as a small country store in Littleton, NH, the Lahout Family - driven by Anthony’s grandfather Joe Lahout became the lifeblood that ushered in the growth of the ski industry in the northeast. Retail businesses are always a challenging endeavor, Lahouts has endured and thrived across their 8 locations in Lincoln and Littleton, NH. We are very excited and honored for Anthony to join us to share his story with us.
