Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
Growing up in Virginia, Jack Hottinger did not know much about big mountain riding! It is safe to say that has changed withing the last 5 years. His first experience on the west coast was visiting his brothers in Salt Lake City and seeing the steep shadows of the Wasatch Range! Jack is now a staple of the Schweitzer community. He has immersed himself withing our community in North Idaho and has been a Snowboard Instructor at Schweitzer for the last three seasons. To say his progression is unreal would be an understatement. Jack has taken on a role with Snowboard Norwest as a coach and is mentoring the next generation of all time riders here in our area! Huge thanks to Jack for joining the podcast and to the listeners for your support!

Monday Feb 17, 2025
Justin Kisielewski aka @le_joose is our guest this week on Let's Talk Snowboarding! To say Justin lives a full adventure filled life would be an understatement! Justin has been a part of the Mountain Vibez family since one of our very first charity events at Keystone in Colorado, which is also the state that he calls home. When he isn't in the backcountry ripping gnarly lines on his splitboard or shredding dirt on his mountain bike, Justin works for months at a time at sea as a chief engineer for cargo ships. He sees the world in all seasons and lives life to the fullest. Justin is an all-around ripping human! We are honored to have him on the podcast and are stoked for you, the listeners, to hear his story and share the stoke!

Monday Feb 10, 2025
What an incredible conversation we had with this week's guest on Let's Talk Snowboarding! Kruz Robles is a Swiss Army Knife in our industry. Spending his early years in Southern California Kruz's family made the move quickly in his youth to North Idaho. Growing up with two brothers who are talented in their own right as well, Kruz has been in the mountains for many years. When he isn't out ripping the resort, diving into the backcountry, or creating content for his media company @lbkfilms. You can find Kruz doing his part to spread stoke and create an amazing experience for guests at Schweitzer guest services. During the summer, Kruz has been an essential part of the Panhandle Bike Ranch, this is going to be the premier freestyle mountain bike park in North Idaho and beyond! We talk everything from his upbringing and his brothers to how passionate he is to film and photograph the legends around the area! It was a pleasure to sit down with Kruz and learn his journey and what the future holds! So, relax your ears and kick back to enjoy this absolute heater of Let's Talk Snowboarding!

CHAD WARREN | LET'S TALK SNOWBOARDING EPISODE 37
Monday Jan 27, 2025
Monday Jan 27, 2025
Born and raised in North Idaho our guest this week been a staple within the snowboarding community for years. Chad Warren is a name that people know within our community. Growing up in the Rathdrum area, Chad discusses his roots and introduction into Snowboarding. As we all know, most Winters we have a fair amount of snow here locally (fingers crossed we end this winter better than it has started) and Chad started off like all of us messing around wherever he could find a spot to slide. We get into his time with the Ski Shack snowboard team and some great stories and banter about team trips and chilling with the homies at our local mountains here in North Idaho. Needless to say, Chad knows how to send it! From shredding, to being a Carpenter by trade, to being awesome as a dad and getting out to shred with his family Chad lives life to the fullest and his energy is a vibe. We are so stoked to get to chat with him and stoked to get out on the mountain to take some laps! Thank you to all of you, the listeners, for your support and taking the time to tune in! Hope you enjoy this week's episode!

Monday Jan 20, 2025
Growing up in the Tri Cities area of southeast Washington there are few and far between places to Snowboard. With Bluewood Mountain being the closest resort, our guest this week, Kyle Suhadolnik aka @nwskateflake got his start like most of us skateboarding. Kyle started to enjoy sliding on snow as he continued to grow up and needless to say his move to Mount Hood was a no brainer. Kyle has engrained himself within the community at Hood and is definitely a name that is known! We talk about everything from his passion of filming and supporting the snowboard community to how his life has changed forever being a new dad. It was great to banter with Kyle about what it means to be a Snowboarder to our core and all the great vibes at Mama Hood! Thank you to everyone for tuning in!
