Dec 02 2024 57 mins

This holiday-inspired episode features the iconic ski train(s) – the past, present and future. Thanks to a love of trains at an early age, this episode was unknowingly decades in the making. While a chunk of the episode focuses on the past, and how the ski train both a} promoted skiing regionally (and ultimately nationally and b} was the foundation of a new winter recreation indu

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 57 - 2024 Race to Open Northeast Edition (November 1, 2024)

Nov 01 2024 34 mins

The Race to Open – Northeast edition – returns with a new format; brackets by each northeast state! That’s right, 48 ski areas are included in this year’s Race to Open Northeast Bracket Challenge. It is hard not to get excited about the upcoming season with multiple snow events in October [just don’t look at the early November forecast. Yuck!] Still, ski areas across the

The 5th Annual Northeast Ski Season Preview episode covers [hopefully] everything you need to maximize the upcoming winter season. We have opening dates, new lifts, terrain expansion, weather predictions, stoke, discount lift ticket promotions and more! Of course, it wouldn’t be a Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast without some trivia questions. So I give you the Annual 8, for the

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 55 - 4th Annual Mogul Madness Bracket Challenge, Toughest Trails of the East (April 25, 2024)

Apr 25 2024 60 mins

The 4th Annual Mogul Madness Bracket Challenge episode is a good one – the Toughest Ski Trails of the East! I am joined by Pete Denato, Dave Jagich and Nolan Wheeler, absolute ballers on the slopes. These guys don’t just ski fast, they ski steep, deep, and gnarly terrain, while often logging 20 hour day trips just to find the goods in the woods. We talk favorite terrain, trails

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Episode 54 - Catapult to Catamount, NY (March 21, 2024)

Mar 21 2024 37 mins

Catamount Ski Area may be best described as a hidden gem in plain sight. After all, it has been operating since 1939. Its location, among the Taconic Range, perhaps not necessary thought of when planning ski trips. But the ski area delivers with fall lines, headwalls and trails snaking through the trees. It is affordable. Its season pass gives you unlimited access to two other near

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 53 - Camelback Home of the 'Long Ski Day in PA' (February 14, 2024)

Feb 14 2024 32 mins

While Camelback Resort, celebrating 60-years of operation, may be most well known for its gigantic indoor and outdoor waterparks, it should also get love for being home to the ‘long ski day in PA.’ A compliment! On weekends and holidays, lifts start spinning at 7:30am (First Tracks) and stop – 14 hours later – at 9:00pm. While night skiing is not unique at smaller ski areas

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 52 - Hot Dog...The Movie Turns 40! (January 2, 2024)

Jan 02 2024 36 mins

Hot Dog...The Movie celebrates its 40th Anniversary on January 13, 2024. 40 years! Wow. While the cast, crew and fans have reunited every ten years to celebrate the movie’s legacy, I do not know where or when the 40th bash will be. Until those details surface, consider this episode a soft celebration. We kick things off with the briefest of overviews [if you’ve found this podca

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 51 - Windham Mountain Club Pivots (December 28, 2023)

Dec 28 2023 37 mins

I kicked off my winter season at Windham Mountain Club in New York. Windham aka “The Club,” for this episode’s purposes at least, is undergoing a transformation to a semi-private model and I had to check it out before my Ikon Base Pass is no longer an accepted form of entry. Additionally, I have begun my season in the Catskills each of the past three seasons, so that’s a fu

My guest is Sarah Wojcik, the founder and editor All Mountain Mamas, which seeks to share her – and her fella mamas - passion of skiing and snowboarding with families across North America. All Mountain Mamas will celebrate its 10th anniversary in January! [Be on the lookout for 10 free lift tickets, well, maybe] Sarah was previously the Director of Marketing and Communications fo

The 4th Annual Northeast Ski Season Preview episode covers hopefully everything you need to reset the stoke - opening dates, new lifts, terrain expansion, weather predictions, ski swaps, entertainment and discount lift ticket promotions and more!
