This is a podcast about skiing, being obsessed with skiing, working at a ski area, writing about skiing, ski patrol, ski instruction, ski gear, old school ski areas, feeder hills, giant ski resorts, fixed grip chairlifts, rope tows, gondolas, trams and maybe beer. It&#39;s about upstate New York, Vermont, New England, other maybe parts of the northeast. When summer comes, we&#39;ll talk swimming, hiking, paddling, kayaks, canoes, mountain biking, road biking and maybe something else. Or maybe we’ll take a break and come back for season 2 next November. Time will tell.

CORRECTION; In this episode I mistated the price ofThe Snow Pass. It is $339, not $400. I also failed to mention that Holiday Mountain in Sullivan County is on it. In this episode we provide a low effort rundown of the various multi passes available and discuss which ones make the most sense for New Yorkers. In ski news, World Cup juniors are coming to Whiteface this March, a snowboarder is sentenced to 45 days for leaving the scene of a collision in Colorado and Netflix is filming a new ski mountain drama in New Zealand.
