Reaching the Hall of Fame takes a lifetime of work and achievement...unless one is just going to cover the induction gala as a journalist. Then it just takes a few emails and phone calls. I revived that email just a couple of weeks ago and made my way to Bretton Woods this past Saturday to attend the 2022 US Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame Induction Gala. For this episode, I do a bit of a recap, of my thoughts and feelings about the gala, a few stories, and I even throw in a few interviews. I r...

How about an extra episode this week? The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame induction events are taking place this weekend at Bretton Woods, NH, which I will attend. It's because of this that I had the chance to speak to one of the inductees. For this episode, I get to talk to Holly Flanders, a pro-racer from back in the day. She and I talk about parts of her career, racing and after, what it is like to be a hall of famer and a few other things. Check it out, won't you? Thanks for listening ...

This week on the podcast, I present to you my first spin-off episode, which happened quite coincidently. That story does come up at the beginning of the interview, but the interview itself is with Charles McNall, creator of The Chuck Bucket. What is The Chuck Bucket? Well, it's a device used to carry one's skis & boards on their vehicle. Charles and I talk all about his product, the advantages of using it over a set of traditional roof bars and racks, the future of The Chuck Bucket, and skii...

It’s not often that many of us get to say that we skied or snowboarded at a private ski club. The main reasons are that there isn’t one close by or we just aren’t members of any ski club that is close by. Well, I, as well as my assistant/producer, Travis, got to ski at one on February 11th, 2022. How and why? That’s what this episode is all about. This week, I have a two-part episode for you. The first part is a chat with Bill Benneyan, the Executive Director & GM of the Hermitage Club, whic...

In order to ski or snowboard, one must first learn how to do it. That goes for anything we want to do though, doesn't it? In any case, I suggest learning for a professional ski instructor at your local mountain, which is what we are talking about his week on the Ski Rex Media Podcast. This week, I spoke with Katie McNall, the Director of the Ski School over at Whaleback Mountain, the closest ski mountain to Ski Rex Media HQ. We take all about her experiences teaching here in the Upper Valley and...

This week, I’m talking to Margaret, founder of Trapper of Colorado, a mountain-style brand located in Colorado. We talk all about looking good both on and off the mountain.

Welcome Back To The Podcast! Yes, after a few weeks of being on my back with the COVID, I'm back and ready to podcast. This week, I'm making it easy on myself and just doing a solo episode. You know, just to get back into the swing of things. I talk about being down with sick with the COVID-19, as well as my first day back on snow afterward. The bonus here is that I got to ski with some fans/friends at a mountain I really enjoy. Also, I get into the issues, a little bit, with folks not following...
