The ski season is way over, and it was a rough one. In this episode, the crew breaks down a historically weird Colorado winter defined by mid-season mud, 70-degree days in January, and a major drought that left the Rocky Mountains missing out while the East Coast and Michigan got absolutely buried.
We dive into the stress of Mega Pass price hikes vs. climate unpredictability, debate the financial sanity of an Ikon vs. Epic Pas...
In Episode 37, the crew gets straight to the point about the "snow drought (snought)" currently gripping the West. With temperatures hitting a staggering 66°F in Boulder and 43°F at Eldora, the mountains are seeing more melting than accumulating in what should be the heart of winter.
The hosts dive into the grim statistics: Front Range snowfall is sitting at less than 8 inches (well below the 27-inch average) and skier traffic has p...
In Episode 36, the crew finally hits the slopes after a long dry spell, heading to Eldora to test out the latest in ski tech and assess the mid-January conditions. While the resort claims a 28-inch base, the team provides a "hot take" on what the coverage actually looks like on the ground.

We may have been wrong.
In this episode of How to Ski It, the crew assesses the early-season reality: thin coverage, closed terrain, and the very real question of whether you should pack skis, a mountain bike, or both. They talk Aspen, Taos, bump runs that never end, legendary instructors, and the fine line between “it’ll be fine” and “this is bad.&...
Colorado finally got snow–so naturally everyone lost their minds. In this episode, the crew breaks down the first real winter weekend: Aspen’s 45-minute gondola line, Eldora’s epidemic of straight-liners, and I-70’s biannual reminder that semi-trucks apparently come with “optional” chains.
Marcus is testing new boots that are suspiciously comfortable, Dave accidentally bought park skis that don&rs...
Colorado is off to one of its driest ski seasons in decades, and we're feeling it. With almost no snow on the ground and a meaningful start that’s the latest any of us can remember, we break down what’s happening across the Rockies: ski areas delaying openings, early-season conditions that are more “mountain bike chic” than “powder day,” and what history (hello, 2021) can actually tell us about w...
After a hiatus since March, the How To Ski It crew is back to wrap up the 2024 season and ease into off-season survival. We compare ski day totals (some better than others), share stories from sketchy spring runs, talk ACL rehab and gear that might prevent the next one, and dive into real industry talk—from lift safety legislation in Colorado to Vail Resorts bringing back Rob Katz. Plus: what do you even do with yourself when...
Join us as we discuss injuries, epic ski days, and the latest ski gear. We'll dive into the pros and cons of different ski passes, share tips on how to stay safe on the slopes, and give advice on upgrading your ski gear. Whether you're a seasoned skier or just starting out, this episode has everything you need.
