3.5 Million Feet Uphill: The Noah Dines Story

In this episode, Andrew Drummond and Matt Hart chat with Noah Dines about his world-record year of vertical gain skied. But the story isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the way Noah approached the challenge. His commitment to connecting with people along the way turned the project into something far bigger than a record. In fact, big-mountain skier and Protect Our Winters founder Jeremy Jones summed it up best, calling Noah’s achievement “the most friends made on skis in a year.” * Noah's Movie Trailer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyAXvl2oytA] * Noah's Website [https://noahdines.com] * Noah's Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/noah.dines]
