Good Morning, My Friends!!! The Ski Rex Media Podcast is all new, has a new guest, and has a new segment. For the segment, I answered a question via the Ski Rex Media Speakpipe Voicemail. The voicemails are starting to come in slowly, so instead of waiting to do the Q&A episode, I answer one of them in this episode. It's a question that came about after last week's episode about littering on the mountains. Then, I welcome a new guest to the podcast, Ed Warren. He is the Managing Director at ...

How are you out there in Ski Rex Media Podcast-Land? As you can see and hear...it's time for another new Ski Rex Media Podcast episode! This week, I bring you a second solo episode that's based on a social media post that I put up a bit ago. It should be easy to find if you follow Ski Rex Media on social media. Especially once you know it's about littering. It was a post that generated a bunch of interest and conversation across social media and I thought it would be good to keep it going and ma...

I hope that you are ready for a New Year and a New Ski Rex Media Podcast. This week, I'm going solo on the old podcast. I have a little bit of a lull until the next round of recording sessions begins, so I'm thinking it would be a good time to see if I can still pull off a solo episode. It's been a while since I've done one, so why not give it a try, right? In this episode, I wanted to talk about some of the odd things that kids bring up as they exit the magic carpet lift at Whaleback. I also ge...

Yes, I know that Christmas is still several days away, but I wanted to make sure that my Christmas Special was out before the holiday, not after. This year, I present a reading of " 'Twas The Night Before Christmas...On The Slopes". As I'm sure you guessed, it's based on the " 'Twas The Night Before Christmas" that we all know and love, but with a few changes...well, many changes, to be more fitting for the Ski Rex Media crowd. I think you'll get a kick out of this one. I know that I do. I liste...

Good Day to you all! I hope you're ready for another Ski Rex Media Podcast episode. Well, if you're not, you can always listen later. It's not like the podcast is done live, but still. This week, I have an episode with Mom Tips. Of course, it's not just for Moms. The Dads can totally benefit from the information in this episode, as well. It's all about family. Ski Rex Media is a family program and I'm keeping it in the family with this week's guest, Karen Proctor. She's a snowboard mom with a sn...

Are you having a good day? We're talking about that on today's Ski Rex Media Podcast. In fact, we're talking about having a good day in two ways. First, we talk about it in a literal way. Second, we talked to Jared Szuch, the Founder and CEO (or Ski-EO) of Good Day Optics. We talk to Jared about the story behind Good Day Optics, as well as the video behind the product, as well. Also, I bring up how important goggles are, at least for me personally. Thank you for listening to this episode; I hope...

It's time for another Ski Rex Media Podcast, My Friends! I have another fun one for you, though I almost didn't think this one was going to make it. I thought this one might be the third or fourth lost episode, but I was able to save it! That story is in the episode, as well. This week, we talked about travel skiing, which is something I have covered before on the podcast. However, we also get into snow sports for the Senior crowd, which is something new on the podcast. This week, journalist and...

This podcast episode may sound familiar to some of you. That would be because this is the same episode featuring Robert & Ryan DeLena that debuted during the summer show. But, even though it did okay then, I think it will do much better during the season. The Ski Rex Media Podcast is always more popular during the snow sports season here in the East. Plus, I was just hanging out with the authors in Boston at the Snowbound Expo and we had so much fun there that I wanted to give them another r...

As you may know, especially if you are a long-time fan of Ski Rex Media, the Snowbound Expo was this past weekend down in Boston, MA. This was the second year of the Expo and they outdid themselves and then some with this one. All the brands and ski hills that you would expect to show up were there, not to mention a few that you might not expect. There was also a pretty awesome lineup of speakers on The Inspiration Stage, several of which were on in this podcast. This podcast features eight inte...

Are you ready for a new podcast episode? Of course, you are! This week brings us back around to the Snowbound Expo with one of the Expo's Emcees, an ex-pro-racer, a snow sports broadcaster, and an all-around great guy to talk to, Doug Lewis. In this episode, we get to know Doug a little bit. We talk about who he is and what he does, including his work at the Snowbound Expo and with Eliteam, his camp, and his coaching program. We get into all of that and we have a lot of fun doing so. I think you...

This week we're talking gear. We're also talking retail, travel, skiing, snowboarding, and Australia. This week, Maria Baker, Founder of Nobody's Princess joins the program to talk about her brand and the want to create something that was more fitting for women. I get it. I worked in retail for many years and have experienced issues with women's pants, for example. Since Maria is further away than any previous guest, living and working in Australia, we talk about the Australian skiing and riding...

Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to bring Doug Fish back to the program for another visit. This year we talk about the Indy Pass and Snowvana 2023! There is a ton of new stuff coming from Indy Pass this season, including a ton of new alpine and XC areas and resorts, bringing their total to over 180 destinations. Then, since I released the Snowbound Expo episode earlier today, I figured I would release this one at the same time since Doug and I talked about Snowvana 2023, the big Expo in the PNW ...

It's Time For The Return Of The Snowbound Expo. Yes, the Snowbound Expo returns as the unofficial kick-off to the snow sports season here in the East. Returning to talk about the Expo this year, Stephen Morgan shares all the news stuff that is going on at the Expo this year. We also talk about the success of last year, give you a pointer or two for visiting the Expo, we elude to the Expos that happened in England, and a bunch of other things. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy it! Be s...

It's time of the week! It's time for a new Ski Rex Media Podcast Episode! This week, I added another author & illustrator to the list of guests that have been on the Ski Rex Media Podcast. I talked to Matt Haight about his book Oh, The Mountains You'll Ski by Dr. Chutes. Can you already see where he's going with the bit? In this episode, we talk all about the book and what it took for him to create it, as well as skiing in the Pacific Northwest, and a few other things. It's a pretty typical ...

The time has come, My Friends & Fans! It's time to start the new season of the Ski Rex Media Podcast! Per usual, I'm starting the season off with a group discussion about what the weather might be like, what we are looking forward to, some of what we have seen in the media from last season to this season, and a few other things. The guests on this one are returning Friends & Fans Tech Rob, Pops, and Brian From IG. All folks you know and love from the Ski Rex Media Podcast. Thank you for ...

The leaves are changing, the air is cooler, and the sun is starting to set a little earlier. Well, that's because it's autumn! Not only do we get a whole new season on the calendar, but it's also time to start a whole new season of the Ski Rex Media Podcast! Here's a trailer to give you some info, get you hyped, and bring back the MacKenzie character. The podcast cast returns next week, Oct. 4th. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it!

It's an old saying, but it's true...all things must come to an end. In this case, it's the end of the Off-Season Shenanigans version of the Ski Rex Media Podcast. It's time for me, and I'm sure most of you, to start looking ahead to the next season. That means passes, plans, and equipment repairs and upgrades for all of us, as well as Ski Rex Media business for the coming season for me. That's what this episode is all about. The turn from summer to autumn to the snow sports season. Thank you for...

Hi there! How's the off-season treating you so far? For me, I'm still up to a bit of off-season shenanigans...some of which I talk about in this episode. This week, I talk about music as an off-season shenanigan, as well as ways to make music a bigger part of Ski Rex Media. Well, I sort of talk about that. I also talk about playing mini-golf, which is as much about spending time with family as it is playing mini-golf. What do I mean? Listen to this episode and you'll know. Thank you for listenin...

Hi! I hope you're ready for another Ski Rex Media Podcast - Off-Season Shenanigans Edition! You should be since I'm a week late, which is one of the things I go over in this episode. I also go over the Vermont flooding from last week, and then I throw in a bonus piece about the Little Cottonwood Canyon, a news story also from last week. Thank you again for listening and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks! Be sure to check out the Ski Rex Media Partners, as well: Whaleback Mountain - Saint Custom Ski &a...

For the second episode of the Off-Season Shenanigans version of the podcast, I'm doing a little solo work. I was thinking about some of the things I like to do in the off-season and I wanted to share one of those with you. Think of this episode as a suggestion of a way to keep busy until the snow returns. For this episode, I'm talking about waterfalls. We've all heard about the big ones that get millions of visitors each year, but why not check out some of the smaller ones? In fact, some of the ...

The Ski Rex Media Podcast Begins Again! I bring to you the first of the Off-Season Shenanigans episodes! For this episode, I bring to you not one, but two authors of the same book. Join me and my guests, Robert & Ryan DeLena as we discuss their book, Without Restraint: How Skiing Saved My Son's Life. We go over the book with very few spoilers, getting into some general snow sports talk, and a bit of name-dropping. That's right, we did it together and you know that's one of my favorite bits. ...

It's that time of year again. The snow is melting, the rain is falling, and everything is growing and turning green again. At least it is here in the Northeast. Since the outside snow sports season is coming to an end here, I thought it would be a good time to close out Season Four of the Ski Rex Media Podcast. For the finale, I wanted to do a call-in show, which is exactly what I did. Spoiler alert...there were only two callers, but that's fine. You still get an hour and a half of show. Not bad...

As the rain falls outside and the outdoor season here in New England grinds to a halt, so does the on-season run of the Ski Rex Media Podcast. There is not a new episode this week so I can prepare for recording the Season Four Finale this Friday night! Here's the cool part...that recording session is going to be a call-in recording session. That's right, you will be able to call into the program and participate. Listen to the trailer for more details and be ready this Friday night, May 5th, from...

Good Day, All! It's time for another new Ski Rex Media Podcast episode! This week, I present another solo episode and another experimental episode. I have been wanting to experiment with podcasts recorded while on the move and since I was on the move recently, I thought it was as good a time as any to try it. In this case, I was moving uphill at Whaleback Mountain a couple of weeks after their closing day and decided to share some of my thoughts on the experience while I was taking a break. I al...

Good day to you all! It's time for another Ski Rex Media Podcast episode. This one isn't another bit of recycled material, either. This one is brand new! This week, it's the return of the youngest Ski Rex Media fans around. I have collected a few of the kids that know of, listen to, and have skied with Ski Rex Media...just like I did last year. The difference is that we talk about competitive skiing this year. You'll recognize a few of the participants from last year's teen & tween episode, ...

Good day to you all! Ski Rex Media is here with a podcast that might be new to you. You see, I'm kind of behind on things here at Ski Rex Media, which MacKenzie will explain in the episode. Instead of missing another podcast week, though, I came up with an idea. I'm going to use some recycled audio. Now, some of you may have heard this before, but most of you haven't. Also, something I enjoy outside of snow sports is film. So this week, I bring to you a time when I tried to make a topic out of s...

Good Day To You All! Welcome to another brand-new episode of the Ski Rex Media Podcast! This week, we talk to Johnny Newcomb, one of the minds behind BananaBlades, a new skiboard manufacturer that has a different way of making skis and an awesome way of advertising them. We get into everything BananaBlades and we get into a little California. I also talk all about a dream I had the night before finishing the editing of this episode, plus there is an introduction from a voice that you have never ...

Good Day, All! Are you ready for a new podcast episode? Am I being a wicked narcissist by saying I'm interviewing myself? Well...that's an interesting question that you'll get the answer to by listening to the episode. However, I can tell you that this episode is all about a ski area in Michigan, the state with the second most ski areas & resorts in the U.S. I'm pretty sure after this episode you'll be sold on Caberfae Peaks, a small, indy ski mountain in Cadillac, MI. The terrain, the snowm...

Good Day, My Friends! It's time for another new episode of the Ski Rex Media Podcast. This week, I'm coming with another solo episode. I had a thought while I was working the t-bar at Whaleback, tried to put that thought into action, and then it didn't work the way I had hoped. That's okay because while skiing at Cannon Mountain with the PA Contingent, I had another thought...which became this episode. We all know snow sports are social, but did anyone else realize they're full of storytellers, ...

Good Day, My Friends & Fans! After two weeks of travel, tech issues, and tissues due to COVID-19, the Ski Rex Media Podcast Returns! This week, I pick up where I left off with an episode focusing on Ober Gatlinburg, the only ski area in the great state of Tennessee. This was supposed to be an experimental episode that I recorded during my day skiing there, but plans ended up changing...for the better I think. That part of the story and more are included in this solo episode. I have a few sto...
