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

Doug sits down with Nathan Fry and Pantelis "Jerry" Geralis to talk about their experience in the Edelweiss raid, a military training event for mountain warfare. The gauntlet is thrown leading up to the 2024 Elk Mountain Grand Traverse race where Nathan and Jerry will text their need for lycra and speed to drop the rucksacks and come out to Colorado. 

Doug and friends Elliott Bates and coach Danny Blake from Dynamic Performance System are here to discuss training and mental tactics leading up to the PDG 2024. The Patrouille des Glaciers is a through-the-night ski race started in the 1940s by the Swiss military, testing ski skills, endurance and the ability to travel efficiently through technical mountains. The stoke is real! Lets get ready for a great season.

In Episode 109 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.
The wheelhouse of Totally Deep expands in this episode when Doug and Randy interview Mark Grotjahn, a noted American artist who also happens to backcountry ski. Or, maybe, for TDP purposes, we have a backcountry skier who happens to be an artist. No matter, Grothjahn brings a unique and welcome perspective to the ski scene that embodies his broad vision of seeing the world. Gagosian.com writes about his art, "Grotjahn combines gesture and geometry with abstraction and figuration in visually dynamic paintings, sculptures, and works on paper. Each of his series reflects a range of art-historical influences and unfolds in almost obsessive permutations."
You can learn more about Grotjahn and his art here.
But the story doesn't end there. Grotjahn, a powder snow lover, also has a soft spot for DPS skis. More on that in a bit.
Recently, Grtotjahn opened an exhibit titled Backcountry. "In Backcountry, he continues to draw inspiration from rural landscapes and his ski touring and fly-fishing adventures in the backcountry of western Colorado," writes Gagosian.com. Along with the exhibit, Cripple Creek Backcountry, Grotjahn, and DPS released a limited edition series of skis featuring Grotjahn's art on the topsheets: the new ski is known as the Mark Grotjahn DPS 50 Kitchens Ski.
This also marks the release of a new DPS powder ski, the Kaizen 112. 
On Episode 109 of the Totally Deep Podcast:
Racecourse setting. The DPS/Grotjahn creation. Skinning vs Sorels: skinning wins. The emotional progression while ascending.  Creating Backcountry. Topsheet designs: monochromes with DPS. Backcountry passion and the quiver. Thanks for listening and joining us for the 2022-2023 season.

Cody Townsend cements himself into the ski mountaineering lore (only you can define ski mountaineering) as his quest to ski The Fifty continues. This season, Tonswend has released videos documenting more classics, including a three-part Bugs to Rogers Traverse and a smattering of lines, including the Skyladder and a return to The Spinx in Alaska. 
Cody also chats about the season at hand and his progress with the project, and as it comes down to spicier and logistically more complex lines, how the Fifty Project could extend several years out.
Then there's the gear. Doug and Cody discuss the evolution of Salomon's touring boot lineup and the release of the new QST Echo 106 ski, a more touring-oriented QST.
