At the age of 17, not many of us find ourselves competing for World Cup titles, or speaking in front of the United Nations. But then there’s Bea Kim. Bea is one of the most impressive yet down-to-earth teenagers you are probably going to meet, and you’ll definitely want to get to know her and her story. Bea and Jonathan talk about some of the key moments of her journey, including getting on the Mammoth snowboard team; the importance of mentors — and who some of the important ones are in Bea’s life; what she’s working on and thinking about right now; and what some of her hopes & dreams are for the future.

So how are things actually going when it comes to climate change, carbon emissions, stuff like that? Are we making any real progress? And what do climate scientists — you know, the experts that are doing the research and studying the results — what are they finding? These are some of the things we've been wondering about, and we suspect that some of you have, too.
So today, our guest is one of those experts, and she has a lot of insights to share. Dr. Elizabeth Burakowski is on the Research Faculty at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space at the University of New Hampshire; she is a member of the Protect Our Winters Science Alliance; and she started snowboarding in 1994, and these days, you’ll find her in the backcountry on her splitboard.

“When we’re out there putting our bodies on the line, the last thing we want to be thinking is, am I going to be looked after if this goes wrong?” — Atomic athlete, Jossi Wells
Today we’re talking with Atomic skiers Jossi Wells, Tonje Kvivik, and Noah Wallace about a topic that almost never gets discussed publicly, yet it’s an issue that most sponsored outdoor athletes have to deal with: as a professional athlete, it’s your job to go out there and push yourself and try to push the limits of your sport, while also having to take responsibility for the consequence when things go wrong.
It’s been a longstanding issue in the freeski world, across snowboarding, biking, climbing, and other sports, and while we all love watching athletes put themselves on the line, when injuries happen in that pursuit of pushing what’s possible, most of us then can only offer these athletes our best wishes on social media and our hopes that they heal up soon.
But today, I’m happy to announce a new development that we think will set a new standard in the outdoor industry. Atomic has committed to covering their international freeski athletes with BLISTER+ outdoor injury insurance, and Atomic is the first outdoor brand to provide this level of coverage to their sponsored athletes.

There is an uneasy coexistence of cars and bikes on the road, and cyclist injuries & deaths from collisions with cars and trucks are on the rise. So what’s being done to address this? What can you do — as a cyclist, and as a driver — to do your part? And what’s being done in car & truck technology to help the cause? We talk with the lead engineer of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) at General Motors who works on bicycle detection technology to help keep cyclists safer on the roads.

Is it possible to skin and ski 3 million vertical feet in a year? On January 1, 2024, Noah Dines set out to find out, and so far, he’s doing incredibly well: on July 9, Noah crossed the 2 million vertical feet mark.
So what prompted Noah to attempt this project? What does his typical day look like? What have been the biggest challenges so far, and what gear is he using to pull this off? I had lots of questions, and Noah offered lots of great answers to this conversation.

When the world’s elite athletes compete later this month at the Olympic Games in Paris, who treats them? And when injuries happen, how are decisions made about whether the athlete can continue to compete? To answer these questions and how it all works, our guest is Dr. Gloria Beim, the Head Team Physician at the Olympic Games for Team USA.
Jonathan and Dr. Beim talk about the Olympics and the medical teams that support athletes there, and they also discuss Dr. Beim’s truly remarkable story that led to a life in medical care, where she continues to serve everyone from regular folks in rural communities, to some of the greatest athletes in human history.

Mt. Everest: for some people, it still represents the holy grail of adventure. For others, it conjures up images of long queues, lots of trash, and a tourism industry that has gotten out of hand. So what is the truth about Everest, and why does it generate such strong feelings for so many of us?
Our guest today is Adrian Ballinger, a climber, skier, mountain guide, and the founder and CEO of Alpenglow Expeditions. Adrian does an outstanding job of explaining the multiple sides of Everest, and the many different ways to approach it.
