Ryan and Dave are idiots. There's absolutely no reason they should have a podcast, but here they are anyway. They talk about skiing and their love of skiing. Episode one is merely an introduction to How To Ski It and Ryan and Dave. Future episodes will hopefully contain useful information about skiing and fun places to go. We hope we'll have some other hosts and guests in the future. Check it out.
