Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course, the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Kendra sits down with Erika Roy, PistenBully ambassador, snowcat operator, and events manager at Saddleback in Maine, for a candid and inspiring conversation about life behind the controls and on the slopes. Erika shares how she found her way into the world of snow grooming and what it means to be a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field. From early mornings in the machine to breaking trail for the next generation, Erika reflects on the importance of mentorship, representation, and creating space for more women in the industry. 

What is it you love about winter? Is it the thrill, the beauty, the stillness? As Canadian’s winter is part of our DNA. The snowy season is something that unites from coast to coast. For The Love of Winter, is a podcast that celebrates Canada’s longest season.
