Professional Snowboarder Erika Vikander

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316781/fan_mail/new] Erika is a professional snowboarder who makes her home at Mt. Hood Meadows.   Asit introduced me to Erika and said I needed to have her on the podcast.   Against most of my instincts I followed his advice and I'm glad I did.   Amazing human who has done quite a bit as an athlete and now activist.   Find her on Instagram (I'm not 100% sure how to do that) and on her website https://www.erikathevikingvikander.com/ And for those of you listening in Iran, Vietnam, or Boznia, please reach out!   I'm curious how you found this and why you are listening.   I'm actually curious why anyone is listening.... Enjoy the show! Andy  poormana@hotmail.com

SkiMo with Matt Hasenohr

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316781/fan_mail/new] Matt Hasenohr breaks down SkiMo, local races and events, and it’s debut in the Olympics this winter.    Seems like a lot of work to get turns but I guess not everyone is as, ahem, efficient (lazy) with their skiing as I am.   It was a motivational interview to me for getting on the touring gear more.   Enjoy and see you on the snow soon!!!

Hood Museum and Cultural Center and he gives us an update on what they were  up to this summer, what’s coming this winter and future plans for the Museum.   He tries to spill the beans on a future episode as well but I shut off his mic.  Just kidding, I don't know how to do that...  ;-)  Enjoy an update on one of my favorite places to go in Govy!
