  • 31 - Another Season Down the Mountain
    Jun 17 2025

    After a hiatus since March, the How To Ski It crew is back to wrap up the 2024 season and ease into off-season survival. We compare ski day totals (some better than others), share stories from sketchy spring runs, talk ACL rehab and gear that might prevent the next one, and dive into real industry talk—from lift safety legislation in Colorado to Vail Resorts bringing back Rob Katz. Plus: what do you even do with yourself when it’s not ski season?
