    In this episode of Vermont Trail Chatter we speak with Noah Dines, and Aaron Rice.

    Aaron currently holds the record for the most vertical skied in a single year using only human power... No lifts, no snowmobiles, no helicopters... Just your own two legs! He set the record in 2016 by skiing 2.5 million feet, or more precisely 2,506,499ft. You can learn more about Aaron's experience in the film by Tyler Wilkinson-Ray - 2.5 Million. During our talk Aaron shares a bit about the history of this record, and his experience breaking it.

    Noah is a 29 year old teacher from Stowe, VT who is hoping to break Aarons record by attempting to ski 3 million feet in 2024. During our discussion we talk about his strategy and what motivates him, and we explore some of the challenges he will face as well as some of the things he's looking forward to.

    Noah plans to begin his record attempt on January 1st here in Vermont.

    14 - Backcountry Show & Tell: What To Pack + First Aid & Repair Items
    Jul 26 2023
    What do experienced backcountry skiers and splitboarders carry in their packs when they head out on a tour? Join our guests as they unpack their packs for us and tell us a bit about why they are carrying the items found inside. During this informal chat we will cover standard items such as extra layers, food, something to drink, etc... But we will also take a close look at what specific items our guests are carrying in their first aid and repair kits. The goal here isn't to promote a "right" approach. The goal is to show that there are a variety of approaches. We hope by sharing that we can help you stay safe and comfortable on your next tour.

    13 - Backcountry Show & Tell: Pandem-Etiquette
    Jul 26 2023
    In this episode we will be sitting down with Mike Snyder (Commissioner Of VT Forest Parks & Rec) Andrew Clawson (USFS), Steve Sharp (President - Mad River Valley Backcountry Coalition), and Erik Osterlund (concerned citizen, and NEK Splitboarder) to discuss backcountry etiquette and share some best practices. All signs this season point to a significant increase in backcountry traffic, and unfortunately it is possible to love something to death. Being considerate and kind will ensure the experiences we seek are available to us and to others. Whether or not you're new to the sport we all need to be looking out for each other, and doing everything we can to take care of the spaces we love.
