How to Ski It

It's Episode 21 of How to Ski It, and the crew is BACK with tales from their first ski day of the season! Join us for a hilarious and insightful recap of their early season trip to Eldora.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Eldora's early season conditions: Muddy parking lots, icy patches, and surprisingly decent snow (in certain spots!).
• The importance of sun orientation: Learn how the sun's path affects snow quality and where to find the best turns.
• The dangers of straight-lining: Why it's not cool (and actually pretty dangerous) to bomb hills, especially early season.
• A PSA on cutting ropes: Don't do it! (And hear a cautionary tale from the crew's past).
• The best après-ski pizza in Colorado: Get ready to drool as they describe the "Grand Chino" pizza from Crosscut Pizzeria & Taphouse in Nederland.
• Plus: New gear goals, the Strava tax, the joys of weekday skiing, and a musical recommendation for your next ski day.
