With Christmas almost upon us, I felt this episode ought to be devoted to spiritual matters, so I have turned to the most sacred of skiing texts, Snowbird Secrets, which I co-wrote with Guru Dave Powers during the summer of 2012. As December is the 12th month, I’ve selected Chapter 12, On Hands & Feet for your listening pleasure. As the Goo and I did with every chapter, we ground its lesson by taking the reader on an actual run down the mountain where its teaching comes into play.

I would be remiss in my hosting duties if I didn’t mention that Snowbird Secrets is available on Amazon. It would make an incredibly thoughtful gift for any skier in your family.
