  • Always a great conversation.

    My go to podcast, very insightful. Especially love the Reviewing the News series with Cody. You should think of adding “Cody’s suffer fest” a permanent segment.

  • Thanks Jonny

    A really cool conversation. The mogul event in 2002 Salt Lake Olympics was heart breaking. Yes, the dinner roll was the icing on the cake of probably the best mogul run I’ve ever seen. - Lighting

    Not every podcast is a 5star but there are plenty in there and as a whole for a network to listen to on ski equipment technical discussions and news on subjects affecting our sport and lifestyle, 5 star all the way. Dedicated listener and critic here.

  • Jet setting the world! Leaving a huge carbon footprint compared to the average Joe!

    From the leftist political perspectives to the hypocrisy concerning Johnathan & Cody’s climate footprint as they capitalize profit while telling everyone else they need to reduce their footprint the hypocrisy is outstanding! Stick to skiing & gear!

How to Create More Snow & Rain: Rainmaker founder & CEO, Augustus Doricko
Q: How significant of an increase in snow and water do you expect in practical terms, like a ski area averaging 300 inches of snow a year?
Over a season, we expect small increments per event but cumulative gains can amount to several feet of snow through repeated seeding opportunities, with high-single to double-digit percentage improvements possible as efficiency and targeting improve.
How to Create More Snow & Rain: Rainmaker founder & CEO, Augustus Doricko

It’s Official: Freeride Skiing & Snowboarding are Going to the Olympics
Q: What is this big news, Nico, and how long has this been in the making?
Freeride skiing and snowboarding will be part of the program of the 2030 Winter Olympics in France, a result of around 30 years of development since early extreme-skiing competitions and formalized with the Freeride World Tour since 2008.
