Powder Hounds Ski Trivia Podcast Episode 42 - Amazing Multi-Mountain Pass You Missed & Race to Open Closure (December 2, 2022)

Ski season is well underway across the country, with the East finally getting into the fun thanks to a short, 48-hour cold spell window in mid-November. Fifteen ski areas opened before Thanksgiving, the most since 2019 (and two ski areas opened on Turkey Day). Last episode focused on the race to open in the East, reviewing the historical opening dates and projected openings this November and picking a winner. Let’s just say, there were some surprises. The Tips Up segment includes (listen rec); a thoughtful conversation on climate policy between Adam Jaber, Out of Bounds and Mario Molina of Protect Our Winters; (watch rec) a short video by Beau Miles to inspire you to be more productive; and similar idea-Procrastinator's Punishment; (read rec) my article published by Ski, reminding folks you can still chase powder at an affordable price in-season. The trivia games gave a nod to Ski’s humorous article highlighting scathing comments to their best ski resorts ranking via their reader poll; LL Bean discount ski days like at Black Mountain for the awesome price of $15 per lift ticket; Ski New Hampshire’s deep inventory of lift ticket discounts; and the best for last, No Boundaries Pass, the amazingly affordable, multi-mountain lift ticket product you don’t know about.
