The Double Chair Podcast

Brownski

16 episodes Last Updated: May 15, 25

This is a podcast about skiing, being obsessed with skiing, working at a ski area, writing about skiing, ski patrol, ski instruction, ski gear, old school ski areas, feeder hills, giant ski resorts, fixed grip chairlifts, rope tows, gondolas, trams and maybe beer. It's about upstate New York, Vermont, New England, other maybe parts of the northeast. When summer comes, we'll talk swimming, hiking, paddling, kayaks, canoes, mountain biking, road biking and maybe something else. Or maybe we’ll take a break and come back for season 2 next November. Time will tell. You can read Robert’s posts on NYSkiblog here https://nyskiblog.com/author/robert/ and follow him on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/keukaboi?igsh=Z3EwOGVqMmxpNDE4.
