Where to Ski

I've wanted to do this episode for a while.

The Bernese Oberland is like stepping into a picture postcard with the small villages of Wengen, Murren and Grindlewald hosting some amazing skiing. All with the famed Eiger as the backdrop.

Our guest is Olympic Gold Medalist Ryan Regez, Ryan grew up in Wengen, has Swiss-British dual citizenship, is a member of the Wengen ski club and is a very fun guest.

Tucked into the end of a box canyon in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah; Alta is known for steep chutes and deep powder - an old-style ski town focused on the skiing and the people who ski there.

Scott Urtel has guided for Wasatch Powderbirds, and for Ski with Kim for a decade. He is currently the lead training officer for the Alta Ski Patrol, and skis this mountain pretty much every day of the season.

In this bonus episode we hit on one of my favorite subjects – mountain weather.  Nothing worse than planning a trip, getting somewhere, and getting weathered out – either rain, too little snow or even too much snow can affect your day. Weather has a lot to do with my own decision-making process of where to ski.

Our guest is Joel Gratz, Founder and CEO of OpenSnow.  Joel really (really) likes three things: Weather, snow, and skiing. I don't know about the skiing but he really knows weather and snow.

Listen to this fun and informative conversation we had with Joel.

The Mont Blanc Valley is so amazing we decided to do our first video podcast - we hope you enjoy it.

Taos Ski Valley attracts skiers from everywhere to its terrain, its powder, its unique vibe, and its just plain fun. Privately owned – it has kept its unique identity, has expanded services and I believe the most environmentally committed ski area in the world as the first ski resort in the world to become a certified B-Corporation and it has a 2030 net zero carbon commitment.

Alain Veth grew up skiing – first as a racer, at the World Junior Championships, on the Europa Cup and World Cup winning the National Championship of Spain along with National titles in France before turning Pro. Alain became a fully certified ski instructor and ski coach first in France and later in the United States. He and his wife own and run one of the countries best ski shops, Le Ski mastery. Alain's knowledge and passion for the sport of skiing is very evident in our discussion and contagious.

Down in southwest Colorado at the end of a box canyon in the San Juan mountains sits Telluride. Rumor has it that the name “Telluride” actually derived from the phrase “To Hell You Ride”, which described the treacherous journey to get to this remote mountain town.

Skiing started there in 1972 with a few runs emptying into town, the skiing has expanded to include some of the best and most varied skiing in the world.  Supported by a newer mountain village, the

Bob Gleason, known for his bootfitting skills honed over 40 years, has been skiing, living and working in Telluride for 27 years.

At the very end of Ötztal valley about an hour and twenty minute drive west from Innsbruck you'll find one of Alps' best and snow-surest ski areas.  Ski-in, ski-out Gurgl, the only spot in Austria which is home to three mountains which reach up above the 3,000m mark suitable for all levels of skier.

Our special guest for this episode is Dave “the Rocket” Ryding, an English World Cup alpine slalom ski racer. Considered the most accomplished modern day British skier of all time, he has competed for Great Britain in four Olympics, seven World Championships, and he also won the Europa Cup. Dave’s best World Cup result was a win at the Kitzbühel slalom, and he placed 4th at the race in November at his home ski area of Gurgl, Austria. Dave also just placed third at the Madonna slalom in December.
