Welcome to Episode 213 of Inside The Line: The Catskill Mountains Podcast! This week, Andy Brown from The Double Chair Podcast joins the show to dive headfirst into his full-blown obsession with skiing in the Catskills. From his days working as a liftie to time spent on ski patrol, Andy shares stories from behind the scenes on the mountain and what it really takes to keep things running when the snow starts flying. We also get into his take on the current state of Catskill ski centers—what’s thriving, what’s struggling, and what keeps skiers to come back for more. Make sure to subscribe on your favorite platform, share the show, donate if you feel like it… or just keep tuning in. I'm just grateful you're here. And as always... VOLUNTEER!!!!
