How to Ski It

36 - 365 Degrees of Skiing: Gadgets, G-Force, and Grounded Patrols

Season 3 Episode 5

In Episode 36, the crew finally hits the slopes after a long dry spell, heading to Eldora to test out the latest in ski tech and assess the mid-January conditions. While the resort claims a 28-inch base, the team provides a "hot take" on what the coverage actually looks like on the ground.

This week on the podcast:

  • The Carv Review: Ryan breaks down his first day using Carv digital ski coach sensors. We discuss his "B-minus" ski IQ, turn tempo, and whether AI coaching can actually make you a better skier.
  • Action Cam Showdown: We review the DJI Osmo 360 camera and a specialized ski pole mount, discussing how much easier it is to film your friends when the camera does the tracking for you.
  • The Telluride Strike: A serious look at the end of the 13-day ski patrol strike in Telluride. We discuss the impact on the local community, the "insulting" opening of a single magic carpet, and the long-term struggle of living in expensive ski towns.
  • Mary Jane’s 50th: Winter Park’s iconic territory is turning 50. We look at what's actually open (and what’s just a "commuter trail") ahead of the big anniversary bash.
  • Après in Nederland: Why Crosscut Pizza and Busey Brews are essential stops after an Eldora day, especially with a new electric truck in the mix.
