Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 60 - Don't Sleep on Pico, VT (February 1, 2025) 36:39

36:39

Did you know that Pico Mountain – a ski area of firsts as the episode details - is one of the oldest and longest continually operated ski areas in Vermont (#5) and in the United States (at most Top 40)? And that Pico’s vertical drop is ranked #10 in VT; #17 across New England? And did you know you can ski Pico for $62 on weekdays; $80 on weekend (non-holiday)? And that Pico has a unique collection from the Vermont Ski & Snowboard Museum on display? Point is, don’t sleep on Pico. It’s a legit ski area and worth your time. As usual, the episode begins with the lightning round featuring longer operating hours, season long reciprocity, a feel good story, lift update and article covering another local investor group trying to buy a corporate-owned ski area. The next segment features Pico’s history and the current day mountain profile, pass affiliations, and lesser known intel. I then share three observations of Pico and three highlights of a recent visit. We wrap with 11 trivia questions highlighting Pico’s “a ski area of firsts history.” Ready for a ‘sunset schuss’? Click in, let’s go! Segment Times 4:22 - Lightning Round 10:55 - Early History 15:32 - Pico Today 18:11 - Mountain Profile 21:36 – 3 Highlights & 3 Observations 23:26 - Trivia Questions…

8 weeks42:20

42:20

Ski Patrol the movie celebrates its 35th anniversary in January 12, 2025. If you need a quick reminder about the plot…ski school instructors align with an evil land developer to sabotage the ski patrol and convince the Forest Service to cancel the owner's lease on the ski area. The broader context in ski movie lore, and, as Heather Hansman wrote in Powder Days, “the goofy sex appeal of mainstream ski movies like Ski Patrol, Ski School and Hot Dog, fed into the oversimplified fallacy that ski town lift was all sunny backscratchers, babes in one-pieces, and beating bad guys to the finish line.” A timely chapter to read the other day. The podcast episode starts with the usual plot overview and critical acclaim before a rundown of the characters/actors, followed by 5 rounds of trivia questions! And a surprise [and signature] final Jeff-Pardy question [acknowledging actual Ski Patrol worldwide] awaits at the end. Happy 35th Ski Patrol [the movie]! Segment Times: 3:35 – Lightning Round; Free Skiing! 9:26 – Introduction Ski Patrol the Movie 11:12 – Critical Acclaim: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly 13:16 – Audience Reviews: The Mostly Good, One Bad, No Ugly 16:18 – Characters and Actors Overview 23:50 – Trivia Questions 38:42 – Final 'Jeff-Pardy' Question: A Salute to Actual Ski Patrol…

57:37

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 industry, there is plenty of present day applicability. Trust me, friends! We harness the theme from the story, A Christmas Carol, and run through the ski train story through the three ghosts (of ski trains past, present and future). A quick hitting trivia round - and wonderfully cold 10-day forecast - sends us into the holiday season, with spirits high, for snow, turns and ski train success stories. All aboard Powder Hounds!

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 northeast are testing snow guns, selling discounted lift tickets and lodging, posting opening dates and of course, two even opened! And I thought the only back-to-back champions are the UConn Huskies?! [Nope says Ski Ward, MA]. I also offer my apologies to the two northeast ski areas that opened pretty darn early last year, but whose bubbles burst on inclusion in this year’s bracket. As a peace offering, a bonus trivia question is meant to highlight them. Okay Pow Hounds, let’s find out which lifts are likely to spin next.

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 and ski areas; we touch on the back-to-back Nattys of our [Nolan and my] beloved UConn Huskies; we warm up with a couple old favorite games to wax up the bases for the Sweet 16 ski trail bracket challenge. This year's bracket challenge may also have coined a new meaning for BYOB [or not!]. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Powder Hounds Ski Trivia bracket challenge without a few surprise twists and turns along the way. The episode charges hard out of the gate, try to keep up!

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Episode 54 - Catapult to Catamount, NY (March 21, 2024) 37:18

49 weeks37:18

37:18

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 nearby ski areas. The ski school is also 84 years old and the Mountain Cat program may be among the best kept secrets for 3-year-olds learning to ski and snowboard. This episode was inspired by a handful of years skiing Catamount regularly, plus my first born’s inaugural winter on sticks. We begin with regional ski news-passes, weather, terrain updates and spring events, pivot to the history of Catamount, continue to the present day mountain profile. A deep dive of recent changes under Jon Schaefer as well as a potential expansion are explored as well as an unanswered question about ski area trail names (Catamount and Stowe have an unusually large amount of trails named after people). Of course, the episode wraps with nine trivia questions for the nine decades of Catamount’s existence. Go buy a spring equinox pass to Catamount (and Berkshire East) before it's too late! Segment time: 3:42 – Regional Ski News 7:26 – History of Catamount Ski Area 12:36 – Mountain Profile 15:14 – Recent Changes 18:16 – Episode Inspiration 22:07 – Catamount Trail Names 24:43 – Trivia Questions…

32:33

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, the sheer cluster of ski areas (7) within 88 miles of one another that offer night skiing with 100% of terrain open, makes the Poconos special. Also noteworthy, this is the first winter season that Camelback is a parter on the Ikon Pass (along with nearby Blue), offering 7 days without blackout dates for full Ikon; 5 days with holiday blackouts for Ikon base. The usual topics covered include, ski area history, mountain profile, prices while focusing on the benefits of night skiing. The episode wraps-up with an Elite Eight set of trivia questions. I also bring back an old starter segment, regional ski news, including headlines, weather forecasts, open terrain rankings and a notable event. This episode – and all episodes – have a little something for everyone. Happy February, Powder Hounds!

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 podcast, you’ve likely watched Hot Dog...The Movie]. For funsies, I read the Rat Pack’s IMDB for a little insight on what they did before/after this slopeside cult classic. The majority of the episode is trivia questions, with four categories: locations (green circles), competitions (blue squares), behind the scenes (black diamonds), and random (double black diamonds). A final Jeff-Pardy question closes us out. The movie soundtrack was all the music inspiration one would need, so enjoy the unusually long snippets. Happy 40th Hot Dog!

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 fun little tradition to keep. I really like diners apparently. This episode covers mountain stats, the not-quite-a-trend-but-close shift to semi-private models across ski county, the before and after the October 2023 rebrand and redevelopment announcement, with some ski puns, word play and laughter mixed in. Eight trivia questions bring us home, with an unanswered question, whether a terrain park should be considered a trail on a trail map.

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 for Ski Vermont and is currently the Associate Editor of SAM Magazine (Ski Area Management) . Sarah talks a super interesting origin story, cutting her teeth ski patrolling in the Poconos, “majoring” in skiing in college, patrolling at Bolton Valley and Sugarbush as well as most sought-after content on All Mountain Mamas, the future of skiing in the northeast, the best deals in northeast skiing [ FOURS ], comeback kids, best food(s) in VT, a potential petition drive to resurrect a lost stoke-filled magazine and much more.

And then there were three, maybe 2, or possibly just 1…While a few ski areas are still open (Mammoth, Palisades Tahoe and maybe Beartooth Basin), the 2022-2023 winter season has effectively ended. Another record-breaking ski season in the books, with over 64 million+ skier visits according to NSAA. The Northeast also saw increases in season-over-season skier visits. This end of season reflection builds off a holiday shopping idea already engrained in most of our brains. Call it what you will, I call it Smaller Ski Area Saturday, while corny sure, could help smaller ski areas thrive amidst fierce competition (and limited marketing budgets) for customers, unpredictable weather, workforce challenges, and increasing costs. Smaller ski areas tend to be off-the-radar, passionately loved by the local community and ripe with character. We can help them by skiing there more often. And meeting up at a smaller ski area provides a great solution (affordable, not crowded, unique) for Ikon and Epic passholder friends who can finally ski together!? Either way, all the best this off-season, Powder Hounds! :20 - Welcome 4:40 - Episode Intro 5:48 - Smaller Ski Area Saturday 17:20 - Close…

As we head into the offseason – beach season for many – it is time to kickoff a mini episode series. Think run times of 15 minutes or so. Main topic only. Light, if any editing. This mini episode features 10 Observations from this past winter season. The 2022-2023 winter season was a rollercoaster, at least on the East. A teaser of an early season start, with a warm and rainy Christmas holiday week, followed by weeks (if not months) of freeze-thaw cycles, until the snow gods pummeled us with feet of snow in March on back to back (to back?) weeks that extended the season into late April. Across ski country USA, record setting snowfall, participation, prices and crowds?! My observations are not at all earth shattering, just solid information you may find helpful to enhance your future winter seasons.

The 3rd Annual Mogul Madness Bracket Challenge is back! The 10-ski area bracket winner will ALSO serve as the group ski trip location for next winter season (or, at least offer a compelling option!). Four members of the New England Powder Hounds ski family - Kate, Mary, Mike and Tim - join me to talk the PRESENT ski season featuring the Three Valleys in France, PAST ski trips to iconic ski areas and of course, decide the FUTURE (next) group ski trip. Oh, and there’s a little twist to the bracket challenge – it is masked – meaning, ski areas will only be revealed when they are eliminated. Objective (ski area stats) and subjective information (signature run; apres ski noteworthy options) will be used to decide the match-ups. Not surprisingly with bracket games, one of our favored ski areas gets an early exit, but then reappears later in the episode!
