Welcome to the Ski Moms Podcast, where we dive into the experiences and insights of skiing families. Today, we’re excited to share the findings from our Ski Moms Happiness Survey.

Survey Overview:

• The survey reached out to 1,000 women to understand the challenges and barriers they face in the skiing community.
• Our goal is to identify issues and advocate for changes that make skiing more inclusive and enjoyable for families.

Key Findings:

1. Affordable Lessons: A staggering 94% of respondents indicated they would ski or snowboard more often if affordable group lessons were available for their children.
2. Breastfeeding Facilities: About 59% of moms reported difficulties finding a clean, quiet place to breastfeed at ski areas.
3. On-Mountain Childcare: An overwhelming 87% of participants expressed that access to on-mountain childcare would encourage them to ski more.

Industry Insights:

• The survey revealed a significant gap in how the ski industry supports families:
  • Only 44% of moms feel the industry cares about supporting families.
  • A concerning 55% disagree that the industry is doing everything it can to support families.

Call to Action:

• We discuss how the industry can address these issues, from providing dedicated lactation spaces to improving on-site family facilities.

Conclusion:

• The Ski Moms Happiness Survey offers invaluable insights for the ski industry to become more family-friendly. Let’s keep the conversation going and work towards a more inclusive skiing experience for everyone.

As an organization, we decided that standing on the sidelines waiting for change simply wasn't an option. The Ski Moms are trying to remove the friction points that keep more families from the slopes. We've built a huge, supportive online community of women helping women to get out and play. Now we're providing the ski industry with the data they need to be agents of change.

In this week’s podcast, we talk to three more moms from our group about what’s working in the industry and what’s not.  We’re grateful to Anne Lemon, Ashley Nevlings and Katherine Sanpere for sharing their stories.

The Ski Moms' Happiness survey offers a unique data set for the ski industry. The Ski Moms' surveyed 1,000 women to find out what is standing between them and their ski mom dreams. In an effort to break down barriers and make skiing more inclusive, we followed up the survey with a number of long format interviews that we are sharing here..

In this episode we meet Corinne Prevot the founder of Skida, and her mom Margie. Skida is a Vermont based gear and apparel company that is known for their colorful neck gaiters, headbands, and other outdoor accessories. 

Corrine and Margie walk us through Skida’s origins story, starting when Corrine was a high school student and ski racer in Vermont. We hear about the very first Skida hats and how Corinne later  balanced entrepreneurship, skiing, and studies at Middlebury College (with a lot of help from her mom). 

Skida gives back to the outdoor community, both big and small with partnerships ranging from local ski programs to the US Ski Team. 

We loved learning about the Skida +1 program where for every Alpine or Nordic Hat purchase that is placed with a Skida Plus One promotional code, Skida will donate one hat to the corresponding cancer center.

We know things get busy in December, so we're revisiting one of our FAVORITE topics...ski travel. In this episode we talk with Brianne Manz, ski mom of 3 (ages 14, 12, 10) and founder of Stroller in the City. Brianne went to ski in Europe at an all-inclusive Club Med resort. We were fascinated with this concept.  We were so excited to learn about the family’s ski trip to Club Med La Rosiere in the French Alps. The resort is located on the border of France, Switzerland and Italy, they flew into Geneva and Club Med provided transportation to the resort.  Brianne shares all her best travel tips.

In this episode we meet Peggy Shinn, a freelance writer and author with extensive experience covering ski racing, Olympic athletes, and winter sports. Peggy started skiing at a young age and ski raced through college. Peggy transitioned from technical writing to sports journalism, covering ski events for local papers and national publications. Peggy began working with the U.S. Olympic Committee in 2008, covering all Olympic sports on their website. We loved learning about the many Olympic Games Peggy has covered including Shaun White's gold medal performances. 

Peggy tells us about her book, World Class which dives into the teamwork culture behind the successful U.S. women's cross-country ski team. The book provides insights on team dynamics, athlete injuries/comebacks and the need for more female coaches and reporters in sports media.
Peggy’s Books World Class: The Making of the U.S. Women's Cross-Country Ski Team
and  Deluge: Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont’s Flash Floods, and How One Small State Saved It
