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’t fit in gondola racks, Ryan is deep in uphill-mode season, and Dylan’s kids may be more excited about skiing than all of us combined.

Plus: a Vail powder day recap, free-skiing secrets for Colorado kids, a surprisingly touching review of the new Warren Miller film, and the eternal truth that the tavern’s gluten-free donuts are worth the lift ticket alone.

It’s early-season stoke meets early-season chaos–with gear talk, safety rants, pro tips, and just enough sarcasm to keep you warm on a cold chairlift.

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 what might come next.

We also talk ski patrol labor battles, new skis we’re dying to use, uphill setups, Matchstick’s latest ski film, shopping at EVO, and the baffling new 2034 Winter Olympics logo. A slow start won’t stop us from talking skiing.
