    What Is The Myth of Dope Lake?

    This week Mara and Jesse talk about the podcast miniseries "Dope Lake" from Duct Tape Then Beer's Climbing Gold podcast. The story is iconic within the rock climbing community and has been mythologized in tons of different ways in the past. Why do we keep telling this story? Is it just because its epic? Or is it becuase of the taboo of money in the community? Or is just because Alex Honnold wanted to tell it?

    Is Skiing Dead? Long Live Skiing?

    Today, the ski industry is facing a handful of simultaneous crises. While corporate consolidation "destroys the soul" of the industry, others in the skiing orbit are confronting the exlusionary and hyper-white history of skiing. Oh yeah, and climate change. Amongst multiple crises there is also a tendancy for mainstream reporting on the industry to be absolutely awful. In this episode, Mara and Jesse unpack four recent, somewhat deslusional New York Times articles about the ski industry, where it is, and where its going.
