New Trail Talk Nuggets! What is the farthest that you would drive to ski knowing that you would be waking up and going to sleep in your own bed? How far would you go for the thrill of blasting through powder? Freshman year of college, my Dad, brother and I left our house in Rochester, NY at 2 AM and drove 7 hours to ski all day in Vermont at Sugarbush Mountain... and then we drove back home (I should say that my Dad drove the ENTIRE way). 14 hours of driving for one full day of skiing. It was worth every second. I get a lot of my drive and ambition from my Dad, who showed his dedication to go big or go home. He wanted to ski in Vermont and use our free passes from the Warren Miller Ski Movie Tour, so he got us up at 2 and we drove to Vermont. Kind of crazy, right? I don't think it is as crazy as it seems. Especially when we got to ski in Vermont for the day. In this episode, I talk about: A day trip to Sugarbush, Vermont from Rochester, NY (2 AM to 11 PM). Upcoming podcast guests (Friday segments) including John Alex Vespa (Attempted to do all 46 Adirondack High Peaks at once), Cody Wiktorski (mental health and the power of mountains to heal and bring us together), Elissa Madonia (Also attempted to do all 46 Adirondack High Peaks at once with John Alex). If you enjoyed this episode, I ask that you please leave a review on iTunes. You will have the chance to be shouted out on a Friday episode as the fan of the week!
