Culture Study PodcastWho Gets To Ski?I grew up skiing at a mid-size mountain in the middle of Idaho. I wasn’t ever an athletic kid, but skiing — it made me feel fast and really good at something. I loved it: the routine, the long slog to the mountain, the Cup of Soup for lunch, the crappy hotels, the freedom. But the ski culture that I grew up with is largely gone, at least in the U.S. — and I’ve spent the last few years coming to terms with how industrial shifts, climate change, conglomeration, the explosion of the unregulated short-term rental market have changed no...

Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Game PodcastPowder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 59 - 35th Anniversary of Ski Patrol [the Movie] (January 1, 2025)Ski Patrol the movie celebrates its 35th anniversary in January 12, 2025. If you need a quick reminder about the plot…ski school instructors align with an evil land developer to sabotage the ski patrol and convince the Forest Service to cancel the owner's lease on the ski area. The broader context in ski movie lore, and, as Heather Hansman wrote in Powder Days, “the goofy sex appeal of mainstream ski movies like Ski Patrol, Ski School and Hot Dog, fed into the oversimplified fallacy that ski town lift was all sunny backscratchers, babes in one-pieces, and beating bad guys to the f...

A Hostile ClimateScarcity, part 2We're back with our second of two episodes on scarcity. This time, we're joined by award-winning journalist (and former rafting guide) Heather Hansman. She's the author of "Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West," a book chronicling her trip down the Green River. The Green is the Colorado River's largest tributary. And, as Heather learned, an excellent window into understanding the cultural and environmental landscapes of water in the Western United States: "I got my assumptions busted pretty quickly on the trip about what was good and what was bad and what was fair."

Mind, Body, and SoilDust: Salvage, Water, and Hope for the Modern World with Jay OwensIn this episode, Kate sits down with author Jay Owens to talk about her book Dust: The Modern World in a Trillion Particles. Together, they unravel the paradoxes and challenges posed by dust - a small particle that makes a big impact throughout history. Discover how dust connects the Sahara to the Amazon, influences snowmelt, and carries historical significance, embodying both awe and horror. Dust underpins everything - it is, as Jay says, “a boundary crosser, a transgressor” and makes itself known in ice cores, the aftermath of the atomic bomb, in the drying up of bodies of water, and...

We speak with veteran ski journalist Heather Hansman, who covers these issues in her new book. And we hear about efforts to ban a common but potentially unsafe series of chemicals known as PFAS from ski wax products.

Planning ahead can be like reading a river, a graceful mix of intuition and problem solving.
