  • Amazing interviews

    The snow brains podcast is a very interesting deep dive in all aspects of snow culture. It discusses many different topics from health, racing, skiing, snowboarding, among so many other topics regarding the sport. Miles does a fantastic job interviewing and is able to quickly bounce off of the answers from the guests and dig deeper into the questions. It is a seamless conversation that is interesting and the questions asked are deeper than most conversations you would hear from these athletes an... more

  • You know it’s ski season when episodes start releasing

    I’ll listen here and there depending on the guests but the question “how many friends have you lost in the mountains” is inappropriate. It feels unempathetic. Imagine losing a best friend or partner and someone asking you about it nonchalantly. Love to hear more women guests and less questions, more normal conversational flow. It does get me fired up for ski season when the topic and guests and interesting. The doctor that spoke about knee replacements was very helpful.

  • Great stories of skiing

    Love the podcast and all of the stories that come out during the conversation. Please please just change one thing with your

    questions. Only ask how many days did you skied last year once. You always ask it a second time and it is often within a minute of asking it the first time. It just comes off as scripted and robotic. Otherwise keep up the great job.

  • Format needs to change

    The guests on the podcast are great, but the same exact format and list of questions on every episode gets old, quick. It’s unfortunately turned a number of my friends off who used to listen and I end up fast forwarding through a lot of the questions every episode.

    We get it, the people you have on here ski a lot, have lost friends in the mountains, have had similar injuries, can do multiple tricks, etc. That’s not what we’re tuning in for, it’s the stories of the guests. If Miles could be mo... more
