In this week’s episode of Group Chat we’ve combined our collective remaining brain cells to provide you with a thorough guide to surviving premiere season. On top of that, we rounded up the Videograss crew to discuss their latest offering: “Lifeform” and we invited Mia Lambson to discuss the digital release of “Wayward.” Arguably of most importance: we built a penalty box. Check it out on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat

In snowboarding we often see a “tradition” route for becoming a pro: the contest to video part pipeline. Riley Johnson aka Mids4TheKids is not taking that approach. He’s been posting some of the most impressive snowboarding clips on Instagram and riding at Hyland Hills. That’s about it; and his riding speaks for itself. Learn all about Mids4TheKids and how he’s able to do the tricks he does on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

For those of you living under a rock: Laura Hadar is a living legend. She's a style icon and has been pushing progression harder than most. She didn't fit the mold, and instead of bending over backwards to change herself she stayed true and paved her own way through life. She's one of the fasters snowboarders we know, still pushing herself and her riding constantly. Get ready for your new answer to one of our favorite questions: "Who's the most underrated snowboarder?" Because after this week's episode of the Bomb Hole, we all have a new answer: Laura Hadar.

To start off the 2026/27 season with a bang we invited avalanche expert Craig Gordon to give us some hopeful predictions regarding this upcoming super El Niño. Then Spencer Schubert and Desiree Melancon joined us in studio for a highly competitive round of trivia, watched some heater clips, gave us their thoughts on AI and so much more. We finished things up with Dixon giving us an update on Snow League and the X Games League draft. All this and more on this season's first episode of Group Chat!

Wille Yli-Luoma is one of those very few professional snowboarders to have been riding at their prime during what many consider the golden age of snowboarding. He was part of the Forum 8, moved on to film with Robot Food, and eventually made is way to filming with Volcom in one of our favorite videos of all time: Escramble. He was part of the Finnish invasion and left a stamp on snowboarding that will last for as long as we value style (forever). Learn all about Wille's time snowboarding and what his life looks like now as the owner and founder of Heart Roasters Coffee won this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
