03/17/22 • 27 min

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host ski mom Sabina Gault. Sabina is the mother of two skier/riders and the President & CEO of Konnect Agency.

Sabina shares her path from learning to ski as a child in Romania to navigating ski trips from LA to Jackson Hole, Big Sky or Whistler. Sabina plans her trips last minute so she knows there will be good snow conditions when they arrive.

We were impressed to learn that even though Sabina lives in sunny LA, she still manages to get plenty of days on snow with her family.

Sabina gives insights into where the ski industry is doing well marketing to moms and kids, and where she thinks things could be improved.

On the eve of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Nicole and Sarah host ski mom Lisa Weibrecht, the mother of 5 skiers (including two time Olympic alpine medalist Andrew Weibrecht) and co-proprietor of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa in Lake Placid, New York.

Lisa tells us about the vibrant history of Lake Placid which hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1932 and 1980.

Lisa would bring her children to nearby Whiteface Mountain to ski almost every day, and after that they would ice skate on the lake.

Lisa gives us some much needed perspective with stories about her son Andrew, a World Cup alpine ski racer and two time Olympic medalist. We learn how it’s important that kids carry their own skis and that mom doesn’t learn to ski tune :)

Lisa tells us about all the wonderful things to do in Lake Placid, from skiing at Whiteface Mountain to beautiful trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing, dog sledding and ice skating on the lake. Lake Placid has something for everyone.

In the warmer months there is fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, horse shows, miles of hiking and walking trails and much more.

There are many wonderful restaurants in the area and Lisa was excited to tell us about the new chef at the inn who prepares fantastic farm to table meals at The View.

Lake Placid also has a vibrant art scene.

Lisa and her husband Ed are the proprietors of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa in Lake Placid, New York. The inn has rooms ranging from classic to large suites. There’s a full service spa with salt room, 2 restaurants, an indoor pool and fitness center. Outside you’ll find a lap pool, tennis courts and a private beach with complementary boats and wa

The Ski Moms Podcast - Ski Mom Michelle Leibowitz Teaches Women to Ski
play

01/27/22 • 30 min

In this episode Nicole and Sarah host ski mom Michelle Leibowitz to discuss women’s ski clinics and camps and why we should all treat ourselves to a session this winter.

Michelle grew up skiing at a small mountain in Massachusetts (Bosquet Mountain) and was a ski racer from age 10 through college.

Michelle tells us about the Women’s Discovery Camp at Sugarbush which includes women of all ages and abilities. There is a fantastic atmosphere of camaraderie and the women cheer one another on, making it all the more fun!

While we as moms often put our own needs on the back burner, Michelle stresses the importance of investing time in ourselves. Michelle has found that taking time for her own lessons, clinics or camps makes her a better mom, wife, friend and just happier and less stressed overall.

Michelle gives us insight into how to navigate finding the right lessons and instructor for you - and how important tips are to instructors in the industry.

Michelle is a member of the PSIA, The Professional Ski Instructors of America. This association provides certifications and trainings for ski instructors. She walks us through the certification process which includes both on-snow and online components.

Being a ski instructor has been a fantastic experience for Michelle, she loves being part of the community. Michelle loves to teach women to ski and give them the confidence to get out there and keep up with their kids.

Michelle is seeing more women becoming instructors and highlights some of the benefits of women teaching women to ski.

Christine is a music and brain scientist turned multimedia creative. Christine spent a decade in academia before changing career paths in favor of more flexible and independent ventures. Christine wears many hats including writer, creative director, podcaster, designer and of course ski mom!

In this episode Nicole and Sarah interview Janna Allen, Ski Patrol Director at Brundage Mountain in Idaho. Janna shares her journey from a ski-loving child to a professional snowboarder and eventually a ski patrol leader.

We learn about what it means to be a Ski Patrol Director, overseeing ski patrol operations, including the use of explosives for avalanche control and managing medical emergencies on the mountain. Janna discusses the daily challenges of ski patrol, from unpredictable schedules to handling serious injuries. She emphasizes the importance of flexibility in hiring and scheduling to attract and retain women in ski patrol, noting that at Brundage, 42% of patrollers are women, compared to the national average of 23%.

We discuss the qualifications needed for ski patrol, such as Outdoor Emergency Care certification or EMT training, and the physical skills required to operate rescue toboggans. Janna offers valuable safety tips for skiers and snowboarders, including the importance of pre-season fitness, knowing emergency contact numbers, and following the skier's responsibility code.

We loved learning about the apres ski scene in McCall, Idaho, which includes activities like hockey, snowmobiling to hot springs, and local dining.

Wild Rye is a women’s outdoor apparel brand dedicated to crafting beautiful and technical outdoor apparel for women. Wild Rye is well known for their cycling products, but they also have ski base layers and an active lifestyle collection.

Cassie tells us about the journey, challenges and successes that led to Wild Rye (including finding their seamstress on Craigslist!).

Wild Rye’s clothing products are designed and manufactured with environmental impact in mind. They focus on recycled materials and their fabrics meet rigorous environmental and animal welfare standards.
