Welcome to the Storm’s short-form, news-focused podcast. Don’t worry, I will still write newsletters too (I blasted out this post on Smuggs joining Indy Pass this morning). To browse a podcast transcript, click the “transcript” button above - click on any block of text and the audio will jump to that point in the conversation. Paid subscribers can leave a comment in the article below, or by joining The Storm’s chat (also below). I’ll respond to some comments in the next episode.
Stuff referenced in the pod
The 1969 Brick Wall That Halted U.S. Forest Service Ski Area Development
“Every time a Colorado ski area sets a $392 single-day lift ticket rate, an angel takes up smoking and gets a teardrop face tat” - from my in-progress sequel to the 1946 Christmas classic, It’s A Wonderful Life, with the working title: It’s a Wonderful Experience of a Lifetime
Loon to Become New Hampshire’s Largest Ski Area with 272-Acre Expansion
The Storm Skiing Journal and Podcast is a collaboration between the National Sciences Foundation, the Human Genome Project, and Operation Underseas Cities to preserve the history and culture of skiing in our digital archives. Actually it’s just some idiot in a room writing about skiing. But it’s lots of fun so long as we ignore our Twitter mentions.
