  • A warm ear hug for snowboarders!

    You don’t have to be a snowboarder to enjoy this pod, but it helps. You don’t have to be an instructor/coach to enjoy this pod, but it helps.

    The hosts dive into a wide array of issues: technical, style, emotional, and more. From equipment construction and features to navigating the emotional challenge of missed expectations. It’s snowboarding. It’s coaching. It’s life! 🤙🏻

    Hot take: no other trio of hosts could pull this off.

  • Great inspiration and ideas

    A recent episode on ITC ideas and ways to think about training was incredibly helpful to myself and another staff trainer as we brainstormed our agenda and ways we wanted to structure activities.

    This is a great podcast to dive into some great snowboard education nerdiness.

  • Best podcast for learning how to slide down a mountain on a board

    Lots of ski information out there but I have found it hard to find a podcast that is snowboarding specific and uses the AASI learning model verbiage. Great podcast for those looking to earn their lvl 1-3.
