I listen to The Storm Live podcast hosted by Stuart Winchester. It’s an awesome newsletter and podcast that is very informative about all things skiing. Stuart is a upfront and doesn’t hold back journalist who talks about all aspects of skiing and hosts great guests from all parts of the ski world.
I just finished listening to Stuart’s interview with Ski New York President Scott Brandi and it was very uplifting to hear about our NYS ski industry. As many of you know, I’ve been a bit negative about the corporate consolidation in the ski industry as well as my concerns with climate change and how that affects everything including skiing in the future. But listening to this podcast has revived my hope for a brighter future, at least how it relates to skiing and boarding.
Here is a link to the podcast and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
