@nateinthewild There’s one being built in CO right now on I-70 near Lookout Mtn just west of Golden! Construction hasn’t exactly been swift but hopeful it’s effective.

The importance of setting expectations can’t be overstated. System malfunction? Employee mistake? Running behind? Short-staffed? Whatever it is.. communicate.

Big benefit to all the early season, mountain west lift line content - consistently high demand makes it that much easier for ski area operators to justify big $$ on snowmaking. Imagine the West having systems proportionate to the Midwest or East.

improving service to customers as higher priorities. A huge majority of their customers are service and hospitality, and it’s no secret People has been one of the biggest challenges of the last several years. (2/2)

Notice from @fortune 50 vendor re: a price increase for 2023 (understandable). Acknowledge resulting challenges, but says it’ll “enable their investment in our business through marketing, quality products, and innovations.” Surprised not to see investing in their people and (1/2)

@StormSkiJournal For you and yours, absolutely…

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@StormSkiJournal Love this, especially having seen numerous replies recently to the effect of “I don’t care about anything [outside the west, small, that doesn’t provide the opportunity to complain about mega corps, etc.]. Good to know those are anecdotal.

Loved listening to @Radiolab’s rebroadcast of Black Box - the 1st podcast I ever listened to thanks to @searchothedream on a return trip from Moab 8.5 years ago. Wild to think of how much audio I’ve consumed since then.

@StormSkiJournal For those replying with detailed, specific responses, thank you! 🙏
For generic “cuz they’re terrible” answers, say more?

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@StormSkiJournal Beautifully and objectively asked. Not having seen as much firsthand the last few years, I’ve been looking for someone to detail both sides. Curious how much is a vocal minority vs. a developing pattern? How many complain but buy anyway? Or is it just easier dopamine to whine?

@AdrienneSaia With your birth certificate? Or benefits docs - health insurance, 401k, etc.?

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@hubermanlab @SavingPlants do you follow? Might be interesting to listen to his upcoming podcast.

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@mattgebo @outofpodcast @SkiWhitefish @SavingPlants Know anyone?

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@SavingPlants @asIiceofhistory Think of the spots we could get into!

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@RdotSpoon So much truth. This song will always remind me of @SavingPlants.

Just realized electric vehicles should realllly cut back on noise pollution caused by street racing, which seems to continue / worsen on I-25.

So we got that going for us, which is nice!

Even after the incredible @Gimletmedia started releasing exclusive content on @Spotify, I wouldn't make the switch. Only @BreneBrown could convince me. However, further analysis shows the app needs A LOT of work before it could become the primary podcast player.

@LKneemy This is fire.

[Fred Klaas @fredklaas]

@SavingPlants @roxxyhaze This. Is. Amazing. Dang near an exact replica.
