The podcast that provides something helpful and something entertaining in every episode. Lance and Mike cover planning for the ski season, buying passes, travel ideas, family skiing, niche trips, nostalgic looks-back-in-time. Topics just long enough to for conversations "on the lift" include everything skiing. From curing a hang-over and making first chair, to dancing in ski boots apre in the bar, there's no shortage of ski culture on this show. Interviews, neighborhood ski hills, homemade snow making, back country, side country, in-bounds, out of bounds - yep, you'll hear about it. Landing the resort town job. Affording overpriced tickets. You get the picture. We're here to share your ski experience with you.

28 -Eric Krantz on Popcorn Sales for Funding Lift tix, a Tour Around Some Minneapolis Ski Areas, and Headed to Jackson Hole
We are really enjoying our new Instagram friends. Eric Krantz is one of them. Join us during this fun ski conversation about Eric’s dad finding a way to fund 5 kids lift tickets by selling popcorn in the parking lot. We also dive into several of Eric’s favorite areas near his home in Minneapolis. Since he is a long-time ski instructor at all of these areas, he’s the perfect host for an overview of all of those local midwest ski areas. Just because Eric and his son are headed to Jackson Hole, Big Sky, and Grand Targhee this month doesn’t mean they can’t have fun on their local hills. Because really, if this sport is a lifestyle, isn’t that what keeping it real and in our souls is all about, skiing where you can!

27 - Jeremy's Son and Freedom Found Nowhere but on the Hill and Pilates for Snowsports with Jessica
Two great skiing conversations on this one great episode. Jeremy and Lance talk about the joys of Jeremy’s 14-year-old son’s growing passion for days on the hill with dad. And now, a little less dad. We talk about that moment when we are willing to let go, and trust, and hope, and pray, that “see you at the lodge at 4:00” proves real. Jeremy also shares a bit about a recent Utah trip that started as a tour of several areas, including The Canyons, but landed Jeremy right where his skiing soul belongs when in the Salt Lake Basin, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and Alta/Snowbird.
And if that isn’t enough, Mike has Jessica (she currently hails from Reno/Tahoe and seems to like Northstar a lot!) walk him through the benefits of Pilates as a workout regimen for skiers and snowboarders.

26 - Shawn and TheFirstChairBoys charge hard and Tailgate at Squaw Through the Carlodge Era
Lance and Mike are unofficially getting out the trip-tik and planning a trip to Truckee, CA. Their new best friends they haven’t met are perfectly represented by Shawn Bradley. These guys are daily Squaw Valley addicts, and they are called TheFirstChairBoys. You can find them on Instagram, where their popularity is exploding. Join them, and their roomies, TheFirstChairGirls on Insta and enjoy their frequent posts. These guys love to ski, make it a seasonal priority, and they have adapted quite well to the COVID-Apres “Carlodge.” We’ve got dibs on Shawn’s couch. And we’ll be on that first chair with him if we act quickly, for mountain nightlife is not an option this year.

OTL Special #2: POSTCARDS From Dan
Last time Dan and Lori ruined a SUV, Tried to buy a new one in an hour, and Rented one for a Month – all while en route to their month-long relocation to the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Salt Lake Basin. This week, Dan reports on his first seven days of skiing. Two days at Solitude. One each at Powder Mountain, Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley (or something like that). Apparently the Great Salt Lake’s “Lake Effect” massive light powder snow dumps awaited Dan and Lori because they have transitioned from sunny groomer days to todays 20″ new. Enjoy living vicariously through the Glovers.
