Love this podcast. Fun to hear from such a variety of people in the endurance and Nordic worlds.
Very approachable and cool to learn more of the behind the scenes in Olympic level skiing.
Great podcast for skiers especially those that follow the World Cup. Alayna is a great interviewer, but I also really enjoyed the recent flip flop in the Q&A with Bearskin lodge. I’m hoping to now check out Bearskin sometime!
I love listening while staring at the wall for 1.5 hours in the basement! Super unique insight and facts about my favorite pro skiers I never would have known otherwise. Keep it coming!
Every episode is down to earth humble, the guests are all quality characters from a variety of backgrounds that are all relevant to the sport, the topics are genuinely fascinating to learn more about, and it leaves me motivated to get outside immediately after work.
