I've just completed a cursory analysis of the 2023/24 Alpine ski market. This episode provides a preliminary overview of what the not-so-distant future holds for America's skiing public.By Jackson Hogen
We skiers are a resilient lot. We have to be. The sport that feels embedded in the most elemental fibers of our being requires winter. I realize that last statement isn’t entirely true, but anyone who mistakes indoor skiing or sliding on sand or grass or nylon filaments for the real deal is in a deep state of denial.

There are two shopping days before Christmas. In all probability, you know a skier who continues to use some ancient accessory that outlived its usefulness some time ago. Here are some suggestions for how to upgrade the ski experience for someone worthy of your largesse.By Jackson Hogen
In today’s informative edition, I remind my Dear Listeners that a proper bootfit includes a lot more than just a new pair of boots. You might think a boot bench an odd place to give or receive a ski lesson, but it’s actually integral to the process for anyone who isn’t accessorizing with a numbered bib on the weekends.…
