    Grüezi from Switzerland! Glad I found this today. At the end of your episode with Cody you took some time to check in and tell people you appreciate them. I’m checking in with a buddy today. Thanks for the push. Keep this up!

  • Excellent! A welcome addition to the powered community.

    This podcast is great, and it fills an obvious void in the world of human ski media. The climbing world is rife, perhaps, overrun, with climbing podcasts of every sort and filling every niche: training, bouldering, alpine adventure, etc., but there are far fewer podcasts in the ski world and fewer still focused on human powered skiing. I think this podcast is great, and Jason is a great podcast, storyteller, and ambassador for the sport. Can’t wait to see where this goes.
