In this episode, Matt Hart interviews professional skier Caite Zeliff, with help from Hilary McCloy. From her early years learning to ski at Black Mountain to charging massive fluted lines in Alaska for the camera, Caite traces her path through the sport. She’s appeared in numerous ski films for Warren Miller, Matchstick Productions, and Teton Gravity Research, becoming a familiar face in big-mountain skiing. We discuss how her mentality has changed over the years, her journey back from traumatic crashes, and what it’s taken to rediscover what she truly loves about the skiing.

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 TrailerNoah's WebsiteNoah's Instagram
