Hey friends, well if you’re at all like me then you’re probably a little disappointed in our current weather pattern. Yup, its the dreaded January Thaw... To lighten up the mood, this week’s show is a bit different than normal! This show is all about HOT TAKES. Coop, Slator and I cut loose one night during a recent avalanche course and decided to talk about the things we see in backcountry skiing that we want to change (or just outright cancel).
This is a fun one, but please don’t take offense to anything said during the show! The opinions are those of the speakers and you have every right to disagree with us. We were just joking around (mostly). Also, there is some mild cursing in this show, so it might not be for everyone.
Thanks as always to Mountain Trip for sponsoring the Snowcast. Check out www.MountainTrip.com for awesome guided trips and high-quality educational courses.
Hit me up if you would like some stickers! And please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to the show. THINK SNOW!!! (We need it!)

Episode 13 || January 12, 2022 || Debriefing our Backcountry Decision-Making Process

Hey team! On this week’s show, I’ve got some life updates to share, and then I dive into the state of the snowpack and what I’ve been seeing in pits and observations. Then, we get a glimmer of hope from Joel Gratz’s Colorado Daily Snow, a challenge to the skiers of the Juans to keep up our trend of no major avalanche incidents, and a discussion/reminder on why its important to establish your tour plan before you leave home.
