    That was a good one (they have all be great)!

    Lou’s tangent near the end brings up a good subject for another podcast:
    North American vs European backcountry skiing, what’s the same and what differs. And not so much the exact specifics, but more how that leads to different culture and experience. Bring on some European guests with experience in NA and vice versa.

    Agreed, this was a great conversation. I think it also touches on a question that was recently posted in the mountaineering sub-forum of mountain project of “Is there an equivalent to MountainProject for ski touring where people post their tracks and descent beta?” and the answer was mostly “No” and “We don’t want it anyway.” But it does seem to exist in Europe (https://skitour.fr/) which also captures some of the community events, what’s going on in the sport and some topics brought up in this episode. Very different ethos, and probably worth exploring more.

      Good idea, we’ll follow up and explore that topic more. Thanks and glad you liked the episode.

    Hi Slim and Spo, good to see you over here! I was psyched to talk with Adam and Billy, they’ve got a more up-to-date perspective than old me. But it was fun to chime my two cents. Kudos to Thehighroute for taking the time to produce! Making podcasts is work, good sign that this site is an authentic endeavor.

    This podcast was so great. Met Adam guiding in 2012ish, now very cool to hear thoughts and opinions from the bleeding edge of ski alpinism, tempered and contextualized by Mr. Dawsons dulcet tones. The podcast episode is fantastic, as are all episodes thus far. Happily subscribed.
