In this episode Nicole and Sarah welcome ski mom Isabelle Winkles. Isabel is the CFO of a software company, and also an alpine race team coach at  Mohawk Mountain in Connecticut. Isabel got involved in coaching after encouragement from other parents, despite not having extensive racing experience herself as a child. 

Isabelle discusses the progression of ski programming for kids, from learn to ski to development teams and competitive alpine race teams.  Isabelle notes that equipment needs and costs increase as children advance, but emphasizes the importance of finding hand-me-downs and used gear through team networks. 

For Isabelle, coaching has provided dedicated time with her own children while allowing her to stay active and involved in a sport she's passionate about.  For Isabel’s family, typical apres-ski activities include hot tubs, snacks, and early bedtimes for tired kids.

Jordan shares her journey from urban living to embracing the Vermont lifestyle, highlighting the unique offerings of the Mad River Taste Place, a specialty grocery store featuring local Vermont products.

Jordan spotlights local Vermont cheeses and producers, particularly praising Von Trapp Farmstead's Mount Alice brie-style cheese.

In this episode Nicole and Sarah interview Janna Allen, Ski Patrol Director at Brundage Mountain in Idaho. Janna shares her journey from a ski-loving child to a professional snowboarder and eventually a ski patrol leader. 

We learn about what it means to be a Ski Patrol Director, overseeing ski patrol operations, including the use of explosives for avalanche control and managing medical emergencies on the mountain. Janna discusses the daily challenges of ski patrol, from unpredictable schedules to handling serious injuries. She emphasizes the importance of flexibility in hiring and scheduling to attract and retain women in ski patrol, noting that at Brundage, 42% of patrollers are women, compared to the national average of 23%. 

We discuss the qualifications needed for ski patrol, such as Outdoor Emergency Care certification or EMT training, and the physical skills required to operate rescue toboggans. Janna offers valuable safety tips for skiers and snowboarders, including the importance of pre-season fitness, knowing emergency contact numbers, and following the skier's responsibility code. 

We loved learning about the apres ski scene in McCall, Idaho,  which includes activities like hockey, snowmobiling to hot springs, and local dining.

In this episode the Ski Moms host Shannon Smith, Founder of Range Fitness. Range Fitness has a variety of offerings from one-on-one coaching to a group training subscription program focused on ski season prep. We were excited to learn about Shannon’s Range Snowfit program, a 4-week ski-specific program that’s perfect for busy ski moms.

We learn about Shannon’s background and love of skiing, which started at age 3 in Whistler, BC.  Shannon walks us through her educational background that includes a Bachelor's in Kinesiology and certifications in Exercise Physiology and Strength & Conditioning.

Shannon gives us her recommendations for how to best prepare for a happy and healthy ski season. 

• Aim for 2-5 workouts per week (2 strength, 1 aerobic, 1 recovery, 1 core/agility)
• Workouts can be done at home with minimal equipment 
• Focus on hip strength and mobility for better ski position
• Consistency is key - "Don't get ready, stay ready"

Shannon shares some great tips for new moms getting back on the slopes:

• Focus on rebuilding hip/glute strength
• Take your time progressing back to your previous level
• Don't feel pressured to get out skiing right away

In this episode the Ski Moms are joined by Heather Nelsen, a creator who writes about travel and motherhood. Heather is from Roswell, Georgia, not a typical ski hub, but her family has made skiing a tradition. They started taking ski trips to Utah when Heather was first married, and now bring their 4 kids (ages 5-10) on ski trips every year.

Heather shares some great tips for outfitting the family on a budget, using Costco and consignment gear. To make meals easy and affordable, the family stays in condos and uses grocery delivery services. Heather's in-laws often join the trips, creating awesome multi-generational memories on the slopes. Heather encourages families to dive into ski trips, highlighting the benefits that go well beyond just skiing.

After a day on the slopes, the family enjoys cozy time together playing card games and board games like Uno, and Pass the Pig. Heather and her husband unwind with a glass of wine while the kids play. 

We loved Heather's positive attitude and adaptability are key to successful family ski trips. Getting the whole family, including grandparents, invested in the ski tradition has created lasting memories. And family meals and games in the condo make for quality family time off the slopes.

We are revisiting our conversation with Olympic gold medalist and ski mom, Kikkan Randall, about her journey with breast cancer and her mission to raise awareness. Kikkan shares her personal story, from her shocking diagnosis just months after her Olympic triumph to the resilience and strength she discovered during her treatment.

Kikkan offers valuable advice for women on how to prioritize their health while managing busy lives, and the ways her experience has changed how she approaches life as a mom, athlete, and advocate.

Each year, over 280,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone. Here are three key things you can do to help:

1. Get screened regularly. Early detection is crucial. Schedule your mammograms and encourage your friends and family to do the same. The earlier breast cancer is found, the more treatable it is.
2. Know your body. Stay in tune with any changes in your breasts, such as lumps, pain, or skin changes. Trust your instincts and seek medical advice if something feels off.
3. Support each other. If a friend or loved one is going through a breast cancer diagnosis, be there for them. Whether it’s offering emotional support or helping out with daily tasks, small gestures make a big difference.

We hope this episode has been a reminder to take action for your health and the health of those you love. Thanks for listening, and we’ll catch you next time on the Ski Moms Podcast. Stay healthy and keep hitting the slopes!

In this episode the Ski Moms host Lenore Moritz, founder of momentum, a coaching and mindfulness company. Lenore works both 1:1 and with groups addressing a wide range of needs in both the professional and personal realms.

We always start with our guest’s ski origin story and  Lenore's started skiing as a teen was a challenging first time on snow. Now as an adult, Lenore embraces skiing on her own terms, not focusing on constant improvement or keeping up with anyone else. 

We learn about Lenore’s career path and her career pivot from corporate communications to full-time coaching and mindfulness work. Lenore explains that coaching is about asking questions, challenging assumptions, and empowering clients to find their own solutions.

In her practice Lenore uses a variety of techniques that she thinks can also apply on the slopes, for example she explained how mindfulness techniques like focused breathing can help skiers manage fear and anxiety on the mountain. Additionally, visualization and breaking down challenges into smaller steps can also boost confidence on the slopes. 

Perfect ski day for Lenore involves sunny weather, crowd-free slopes, and enjoying at her own pace. 

We loved learning about what a coach can offer us in both our personal and professional lives.
