Season 1
Joe takes us through his big weekend at Killington! He spent a couple of days skiing on next year’s product so we dive into his thoughts on how each one skied. What could be better?
Joe and Garrett do a not-so-deep dive into some more gear we’ve seen for the 2025/2026 season. Double BOA, other new boots, new skis - plenty to be hyped on.
Garrett sat down with George to discuss the new Armada AR One ski boot and some other new ski boots we have on the way.
Colter Hinchliffe stopped by to chat about developing the next generation of the Volkl Revolt series, his 10+ year run skiing in TGR movies, and more.
We welcome Hunter back to the studio this time with his sister Grace, another rising star on the U.S. Freeski team. Grace and Hunter were back east visiting family and getting some training days at their home mountain of Waterville Valley, which currently has one of the most impressive early-season parks we’ve ever seen.
Caite Zeliff grew up in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, where she fell in love with skiing through racing. Eventually, she moved to Jackson, Wyoming, to chase the big mountain skiing dream—and she achieved it. With back-to-back Queen of Corbet's titles and segments with top-tier ski production companies, her career has been filled with huge milestones. This past spring while filming in Alaska, Caite took two hard falls that changed her life. What seemed like a “normal concussion” turned out to be much more serious. As her symptoms persisted and intensified, Caite sought medical help, uncovering the extent of the damage to her brain and nervous system. Now, she’s focused on a full recovery, diving deep into understanding her body and mind.
Garrett sits down with George and Joe to discuss some of the buyers' guides and reviews we've seen this fall. We shout out a couple of outlets we think are doing great jobs with their gear reviews and dissect some flaws we see far too consistently across the rest. The goal of this episode isn't to go scorched earth on these media outlets, it's to address the problems with most of the ski industry's approach to reviewing ski gear and to present our case as to why there needs to be more effort put toward improving these reviews.
Drew Petersen is a ripping skier who has spent the past few years of his life defining himself beyond the sport. He's used films, public speaking, and social media to shine a light on important conversations regarding mental health and our approach to the issue within our winter sports community, and as a society as a whole. Drew's recent project, "Feel it All" expands on these ideas and gives insight to his perspective and experience dealing with his personal mental health challenges and how they are intertwined with his two biggest passions, skiing and ultrarunning. Drew stopped by The Ski Monster when he was in town for the Salomon QST Film Tour to chat with Garrett, mainly about the film and what drives him to do projects like this.
