In this episode, Matt Hart interviews professional skier Caite Zeliff, with help from Hilary McCloy. From her early years learning to ski at Black Mountain to charging massive fluted lines in Alaska for the camera, Caite traces her path through the sport. She’s appeared in numerous ski films for Warren Miller, Matchstick Productions, and Teton Gravity Research, becoming a familiar face in big-mountain skiing. We discuss how her mentality has changed over the years, her journey back from traumatic crashes, and what it’s taken to rediscover what she truly loves about the skiing.Caite's WebsiteWatch "Caite Zeliff Absolutely Shreds!"

In this episode, Andrew Drummond and Matt Hart chat with Noah Dines about his world-record year of vertical gain skied. But the story isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the way Noah approached the challenge. His commitment to connecting with people along the way turned the project into something far bigger than a record. In fact, big-mountain skier and Protect Our Winters founder Jeremy Jones summed it up best, calling Noah’s achievement “the most friends made on skis in a year.”Noah's Movie TrailerNoah's WebsiteNoah's Instagram

A weak La Nina system is forecasted for this winter and chances are we'll have an above average snowfall this winter. Charlie Lopresti hops on the phone to tell us what to expect for winter 20-21.

Pier and I linked up for a 24 mile run this summer - it only took several miles to realize that we would partner up on a coffee business that materialized a few month later. Pier's positivity carries over into his other passions for the outdoors but really shines when he shares his coffee with customers visiting the shop. If you're interested in linking up with Pier for some coffee roasting action, ping the shop and he'll make it happen. 

Jake Inger's Morning Ride on StravaFollow Jake on Instagram Follow Ride The Whites on InstagramJake Inger is a backcountry skier but has made a name for himself in the biking world for endurance mountain bike racing (6hr events up to 100 miles). With races canceled this season he decided to challenge himself in another way, creating his own route that was much more interesting than the Everesting trend. In this offseason episode we recap the ride and Jake discusses everything that went well that day and the things he'll do better on next time.
