Out of Collective Podcast – E26 – The Hidden Lines w/ Adam Kruszyna

This week we’re joined by Adam Kruszyna, the skier behind The Hidden Lines and the unofficial king of finding world-class terrain right in his own backyard. Adam’s made a name chasing the zones everyone else overlooks—quiet ridgelines, secret couloirs, and the kind of lines you only find when you’re willing to explore past the obvious.

We talk scouting missions, home-range creativity, and why some of the best skiing on earth is often just over the next ridge. If you love discovering new terrain, pushing deeper into your local mountains, or geeking out on maps and micro-missions, this episode is pure fuel.

Out of Collective Podcast – E23 – Still Excited to Ski w/ Noah Dines

Noah Dines didn’t just ski a lot — he’s rewrote what “a lot” even means. In 2024, Noah broke the world record for the most human-powered vertical feet skied in a single year, climbing and descending over 3 million vertical feet without a lift, snowcat, or heli. From Vermont to Chile, he chased snow, endurance, and purpose — one uphill stride at a time. Host AdamX sits down with Noah to unpack the grind, the mindset, and what it takes to find joy in doing the impossible… over and over again. And After all that…. He’s STILL excited to ski.
