Stay ConnectedThe Ski Monster Podcast — conversations about skiing, ski gear, the ski industry, and the people behind it.
We sit down with athletes, founders, product designers, industry veterans, and other people who have helped shape skiing and snowboarding.
From how iconic skis and ski boots came to be, to the stories behind brands like LINE, Full Tilt, J Skis and more, we get into product development, gear, skiing, business, marketing, and the stories you usually don’t hear.
Hosted by The Ski Monster.

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.
