We talk with Mardi Fuller, a backcountry adventurer, who lives in Boston where she works as a nonprofit communications director and volunteers with the local Outdoor Afro network. Mardi has appeared in Outside Magazine, the BBC, PBS and NPR. We talk about making the outdoors more accessible to everyone!  Mardi grew up in New York in a Jamaican-American family. She tells us about her early ski experiences as a child and young adult with her church groups - which ended with a broken ankle. 
A few winters ago, Mardi explored winter adventuring and skiing. With the support and guidance from her friends in Boston, she’s fallen in love with backcountry skiing (also known as skinning or ski touring). Mardi tells us about the alpine touring (AT) equipment she uses to get uphill and earn her turns. And Mardi’s clear, she is enjoying moderate terrain and not outrunning avalanches.  
We were super impressed to hear that Mardi was the first black person to join the Appalachian Mountain Club Four Thousand Footer Club. Mardi passes along her love of the outdoors through a number of programs to that aim to make the outdoors more accessible.

She tells us about her early ski experiences as a child and young adult with her church groups - which ended with a broken ankle. 

Then a few winters ago, Mardi was at the right place and time in her life to really start getting back into winter adventuring and skiing. She’s at a place in her career where she has the time and resources to get to the mountains more often.  And with the support and guidance from her friends in Boston, she’s fallen in love with backcountry skiing (also known as skinning or ski touring). Mardi tells us about the alpine touring (AT) equipment she uses to get uphill and earn her turns. And Mardi’s clear, she is enjoying moderate terrain and not outrunning avalanches.  

We learn about Mardi’s first mountain hiking experiences in college and how those experiences led to her lifelong love of the outdoors. We were super impressed to hear that Mardi was the first black person to join the Appalachian Mountain Club Four Thousand Footer Club.

In this episode, Sarah and Nicole introduce ourselves to new listeners that may not be familiar with the story that led us to starting this podcast. We became friends 12 years ago at a wonderful, little family mountain (Mohawk Mountain) in Cornwall, Connecticut.

We’ve come a long way since our first (awkward) episode in 2021. We are very proud of our 75+ episodes and counting.  We have interviewed ski moms from mountains big and small, from Olympians to first timers as adults. 

We started this podcast because we believe that ski moms are the unsung heroes that buy the gear, organize the equipment, start the crock pots and plan the ski trips. But we also want to make sure we are enjoying ourselves on the slopes and playing outside - both with and without the kiddos.

And most importantly, we want to thank you for coming along on this journey with us. We hope to be your ski mom friends on your weekend trek to the mountains and helping you plan your next ski trip adventure.  And we hope you have as much fun listening as we do making these episodes.

In this episode, we talk with Kikkan Randall, ski mom, 5x Olympian, gold medalist and breast cancer survivor. 

Kikkan was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and both her parents were skiers. Kikkan was wearing ski boots and sliding down the hill before she could even walk. At age 3, Kikkan’s family moved to Alaska where she first got involved with nordic/cross country skiing. 

Kikkan walks us through her progression from middle school nordic ski racing to her Olympic gold medal.  At age 19, Kikkan and her coach mapped out her 10 year roadmap.  Kikkan kept her head down, kept working hard and 16 years later she accomplished her lifelong goal of winning a gold medal. Kikkan tells us about taking time off from competing to start her family and later taking her son on the road as she ramped back up. 

Kikkan shares her breast cancer survival story which started shortly after she won her gold medal. Kikkan was conflicted about sharing her struggle publicly, but in the end she decided that getting support and talking about her journey would benefit her and other women. Kikkan has become an advocate for early detection and a supporter of numerous cancer research programs.

In this episode, we talk again with Sarah Sherman, the Communications Manager at Snowbird. 

We learned about Sarah’s career path from a snowboard instructor and barista at Mammoth, that she leveraged into a position as the Mammoth snow reporter and PR assistant. From Mammoth, Sarah went to work at Sierra Tahoe, a resort in South Lake Tahoe, California for 2 seasons.  Sarah is now in her 3rd season as the communications manager at Snowbird.  

Sarah gives us insight into what her day to day looks like at Snowbird, as we imagined, it changes daily and seasonally. Sarah manages social media, commercial shoots and PR for Snowbird. 

We got all of Sarah’s best Snowbird trip planning tips. We talk about where to stay when visiting Snowbird (Cliff Lodge is one of her favorites and it’s ski in ski out) and airport transportation options (no need for a car!).  Snowbird has their own pass, but they are also on the Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective passes. 

Snowbird has a new kids pass offering, called the Kids Freeloader Pass for Summit locals. Every Adult, Senior or Military  Summit  or Alta-Bird Pass comes with the option to add on a free, Kids Freeloader Pass, providing unlimited skiing and riding at Snowbird all season long to anyone 18 and under. 

Snowbird can be an intimidating mountain, it’s 2,500 acres of mostly challenging terrain.  Snowbird has an iconic tram system that has been running for 50 years and was recently replaced.  And Snowbird offers a wide variety of adult and children’s learning programs starting as young as age 3.
