    Professional Snowboarder Erika Vikander

    Send us Fan Mail Erika is a professional snowboarder who makes her home at Mt. Hood Meadows.   Asit introduced me to Erika and said I needed to have her on the podcast.   Against most of my instincts I followed his advice and I'm glad I did.   Amazing human who has done quite a bit as an athlete and now activist.   Find her on Instagram (I'm not 100% sure how to do that) and on her website https://www.erikathevikingvikander.com/ And for those of you listening in Iran, Vietnam, or Boznia, please reach out!   I'm curious how you found this and why you are listening.   I'm actually curious why anyone is listening.... Enjoy the show! Andy  poormana@hotmail.com

    SkiMo with Matt Hasenohr

    Send us Fan Mail Matt Hasenohr breaks down SkiMo, local races and events, and it’s debut in the Olympics this winter.    Seems like a lot of work to get turns but I guess not everyone is as, ahem, efficient (lazy) with their skiing as I am.   It was a motivational interview to me for getting on the touring gear more.   Enjoy and see you on the snow soon!!!

    Making Corduroy - Life of a Trail Groomer with Hunter Bissler and John Vermaas

    Send us Fan Mail Today we talk to John Vermaas and Hunter Bissler about grooming the trails, tech, and snow science.   If you've ever wondered how that trail was turned from moguls and ice to silky smooth corduroy, well, take a listen. Sorry for the delay - Been super busy with non-podcast life action.   And I'm skiing again so that takes precedence over typing and recording!     Thanks to Skibowl again for letting me see how the sausage is made from the inside.      As always, shoot your ideas to poormana@hotmail.com
