  • Learn to ski a mogul line with Geri Tumbasz

    As always very informative and a fun listen. I especially appreciated the “Looking for solutions, no problems” segment.

  • Super informative and entertaining

    I’ve been a long time follower of Tom’s across his many platforms including the Big Picture Skiing website, CARV, his skiing webinars and of course his hundreds of YouTube videos on skiing performance/improvement. His podcasts have great guests with interesting and varied backgrounds. I find they are great way to learn and be entertained as I ride to keep fit for skiing or on my long drives to the ski hill. Keep up the great work Tom!

  • Great info…

    But the production value is terrible. Volume spikes make it borderline unlistenable, which is a shame. Tom and his guests have good conversations about all things skiing; clean up the audio and this becomes a five star podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Your Ski Boots Feel Wrong: 3 Angles That Matter - Phil From SkiTalk
Q: How do people know they're in the right zone with their forward lean?
Phil recommends assessing how the skier feels in the boot, prioritizing comfort and a balanced position rather than relying on a universal angle. Boot fitters can make small adjustments, including accommodating the calf or adding a spoiler, and reassess how the skier responds.
Why Your Ski Boots Feel Wrong: 3 Angles That Matter - Phil From SkiTalk
Q: If you've got somebody that has a very rigid ankle, what happens when they try to flex that boot?
They may lift their heel to move the leg forward, which can cause pressure under the metatarsals and shin discomfort. A heel lift can open the ankle and make flexion easier, though boot fit around the instep may need attention.
Alex Hackel - From Being Picked Last To 2x X Games Medalist
Q: What role has filmmaking and video sharing played in your skiing career?
Filmmaking started as a way to capture tricks with friends, evolved into a core passion, and now drives content creation that showcases techniques and stories while refining personal style.
Alex Hackel - From Being Picked Last To 2x X Games Medalist
Q: How do you approach learning new tricks today compared to when you were younger?
I focus on patient takeoffs, controlled air time, and mental preparedness, using a calm mindset and strategic repetition rather than rushing to land a new trick.
Alex Hackel - From Being Picked Last To 2x X Games Medalist
Q: What was a turning point in your training and mindset that helped you reach elite levels?
A pivotal coach believed in me when others doubted, gradually pushing me to take on tougher tricks; that mentorship created a shift from skepticism to confidence and relentless practice.
