The Inferno is the world’s oldest, longest, largest, and probably toughest downhill ski event. It’s a balls to the wall run starting from the Schilthorn peak at 9,744 ft above Murren to the village of Lauterbrunnen. over 6,500 feet of vertical and 14.9km in length. But the Inferno isn’t just a downhill ski race it’s a celebration of the culture of skiers and skiing, set among some of the worlds most beautiful mountains in Murren Switzerland in the heart of the Bernese Oberland.

I’m joined by Swiss superstar and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Regez and Utah based ski videographer Tim Jones and we’ve all taken part in this crazy celebration of skiing.

The newest hot spot for skiing is Norway. This episode takes us to Narvik Norway, 1500KM north of Oslo just north of the Arctic Circle. Located on the Rombaken fjord, it is stunning. The skiing is solid enough to be chosen for the Alpine World Championships in 2029.

My guest is Norway’s Jean-Peter Østbye. An alumna of the Utah ski team, the Norwegian national team, and the Pro ski circuits. J.P. spent years traveling, racing, coaching and more recently teaching. Now he enjoys outdoor life in Norway, living near Olso.

In this bonus episode we’ve brought back one of our favorite guests Joel Gratz, Founder and CEO of OpenSnow to do a quick check in on the winter of 2024 and what it may hold for us skiers.
