How to Get Into SKIMO plus a Preview of Trav's Audio Novella, THE RUNNER

For today’s episode of the Travis Macy Show, we’re mixing it up in two parts! First, I’m giving an overview of the world of ski mountaineering, or "SKIMO" as it's often called—one of my favorite activities for building fitness and having fun in the winter. A while back I had some stellar chats with my friend Mike Hagan, who runs Hagan Ski Mountaineering, and today I’m sharing a few clips from those conversations. You’ll learn everything you need to know if you're just getting started or looking to improve your skills. Whether you're a runner, cyclist, or multi-sport athlete wanting to mix in some backcountry skiing or SKIMO racing, this conversation has you covered.

Then, in part two, I’m shifting gears to something I’ve been working hard on: my new novella, THE RUNNER. It’s coming to you in serial audiobook format from Christmas to New Year’s, and in this episode, you’ll get a preview. THE RUNNER tells the story of Carp, a middle-aged man navigating the ups and downs of life in the Rockies. With themes of endurance sports, psychology, love, loss, and more, it’s a quirky, unique tale that I’m excited to share with you. Stick around after the schema discussion to hear an AI-generated preview of the novella—I think you’ll find it fascinating!
