Backcountry Skiing, Uphill Skiing, Rando (skimo?) Racing, Splitboarding— it's all uphill from here.

On Episode 118 of Totally Deep Podcast, Doug Stenclik and Randy Young of www.cripplecreekbc.com bring you the lowdown on the world of uphill and backcountry skiing and boarding. Gear, technique, fashion, jargon, guests, and assorted spray from folks who know how to earn it in the backcountry. The world's best backcountry skiing podcast.

Episode 118 features CCBC Carbondale store manager Nick Penzel and his take on the dad scene. To be clear, Nick is not a dad; he has one, and he has a specific take on dads in the front and backcountry. Trigger warning: dads, come with an open mind as Nick has some more revolutions around the sun until he too understands dad-realm. 

Another key factor is that Randy is a new dad. As a new dad, he's maybe feeling less spry than normal and looking for some good medicine—what he refers to as his dad-mod, not exactly a dad-bod. There's no leaving Doug out of the episode's commentary. What is true is that Doug is wiggling into a small Dynafit-branded Speed Jean. We can only imagine what these are: Part skimo outfit aprés attire? A cotton-Lycra blend? Doug is not a dad and isn't that slow, but he knows many dads who crush.

We digress. Back to Nick. As a store manager, Nick gets to eye and fondle gear daily. You'll get his take on the gear for dads and non-dads alike in episode 118.  

On Episode 118 of the Totally Deep Podcast:

1. Randy's epic: Driving through the night from TX. to CO. and acclimatizing.
2. Group rides and shuttles—Doug finds clarity.
3. The quick-hit Mexico volcano trip.
4. The dad mod for the dad bod.
5. Boot suggestions.
6. Going Dynafit head to toe. Is it plausible?
7. Going off the shelves, ATK bindings.
