Noah Matthews has conquered this mountain trail in every season – except winter. On New Year's Day, he sets out for what should be a celebration ride: a few hours up and back to greet the year in solitude. He has experience, equipment, and confidence. What he doesn't have is respect for how quickly conditions can change.

Perfect for: Anyone who loves the outdoors and understands how thin the line between adventure and disaster can be. Those who appreciate raw, honest stories about human vulnerability against nature's indifference. Listeners seeking powerful reminders about preparedness without preachy lessons.

⏱ In 15 minutes: You'll ride with Noah through the exhilarating first hour, watch the sun sink faster than expected, and feel the first snowflakes begin to fall... but the true weight of his decisions reveals itself much later, in the darkness and cold.

Some lessons are written in snow. Some voices echo long after they fade.
